User blog comment:D. Cello/Assassinews 01/17 -- ACW New Admin, key Ubisoft figure leaves AC/@comment-184.146.171.241-20120204203728/@comment-1625914-20120207154029

Desmond's story is barely a month or so in duration -- the only way for his face to change so much would be a car accident or a wampa attack.

And Randez signed his appearance to Altair on the first AC, he cant jsut turn and say "dont use it" -- he is bound by contract. That is one more bullshit rumor.
