It is set in ancient Persia, I don't see ENGLISH coming out of that guy.

That's not the point. When I feel to my death, I wasn't shouting at the Prince for dying, I was shouting at Nate for dying (because all my deaths are the PS3's fault not mine). It is like the situation with the Assassin's Creeds, now that Ezio sounds Italian, you really understand him as a character much more, and care for him more, whereas Altair did not have much of a personality. Of course he should be speaking English, but with some sort of accent, something to make him seem like a distant traveller, not just some American guy who has turned up in Persia

While that is true in a certain sense, it's not unknown for people to not have accents of where they've been raised.  Heck my dad doesn't even have a northern accent and he was born and raised in Minnesota.  I wouldn't blame lack of personality on Altiar for not having an accent, but the writers not giving him a story like Ezio has except through handheld games and some random comics. 

It's no secret that Altiar wasn't exactly likeable or didn't have much of a personality.  Even the developers released there mistake and made sure Ezio was a likeable and well developed character.  Altiar assassined Templars purely because it was the only way he could gain his previous status back.  Ezio becomes an assassin because he is driven by wanting to avenge his father and brothers' deaths.  Quiz: who would make a more interesting character, a character whose actions are done for no reason other than to fit the needs of the story or a charcter whose actions are driven by his emotions?  I think you can guess which one is right.
