Leaked Assassin's Creed Picture

So a best buy employee snapped this picture from their employees news section. This image may be of the new main character in the upcoming Assassin's Creed. The United States could be a great new era for the game. But when? Based on the flag in the background you can assume that it is after 1777 when the US flag was born. This could be very interesting. The news will supposedly be announced on March 5th.
