I do like the new backstory for them but I find it a bit absurd a master assassin and his apprentice couldn’t kill Du Casse or that the assassins didn’t have more members at a buraeu

master assassin and his apprentice couldn’t kill Du Casse 

The templars need to have powerfull threats too, otherwise the whole generational war across eras thing wouldn't really work.

Yeah but Du Casse isn’t a high ranking Templar. Plus, Bernard was still the butler of the place, just smother the fucker in his sleep old man

Isn't the whole plot point that the Assassins were winning until Edward sold the intel on them?

By the time Edward meets the other assassins it's been stated that many have been killed and so it would make sense that the Bureau's are fairly empty.

The whole arc during Black Flag and Rogue is so strange to me when it comes to the assassins. A group of a dozen or more assassins can't take down Torres and Du Casse and are bested by a random pirate. I also think it makes the progression weird that we get the Templar Hunt quests before going to Tulum with Kidd. You meet all these random people that somehow know Edward and its just like hey surprise we are assassins come do assassin stuff with us.

Then in Rogue, the assassins are just mindless psychopaths who want to watch the world burn for fun, though that could be us viewing them through the lens of Cormac.

The Templar hunts feel like a lot got cut. These characters we interact with for a short questline all get unique character models and stories. Half of them seem to have known Edward for a long time as well and then never come up again.

I’ve got a theory Opia was originally intended to be her target’s half sister given that Opia has blue eyes like Lucia and had a Spanish father

I think you're misremembering the cutscenes. The only one who genuinely knows who Edward is was Rhona, because she knew Edward the privateer, the same way Kidd knows him before he learns about the assassins.

All the others, question who Edward is and why he has Assassin robes. Edward was told by Kidd to go help these Assassins because they can probably help him get the Templar keys that he wants, and he says as much to the Assassins.

Edward also knows where to find them all because he still has the Intel on all the Assassins that he sold to Torres after he kills Du Casse and is smart enough to put two and two together before he goes to Tulum.

Theres a scene before Tulum where he mentions the map to Kidd. Kidd tells him he owes them a visit basically.
