In Assassin's Creed III, the playable character commonly called Connor was born Ratonhnhaké:ton. He is the son of the Templar Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io, a Kanien'kehá:ka woman.
Connor adopts the name Connor Kenway while working with the Colonial Assassins, but Ratonhnhaké:ton remains his birth name. His story unfolds during the American Revolution, where he becomes involved in the struggle between the Assassins and Templars while also defending his community.
The name is often overlooked because the game usually presents him to English-speaking players as Connor. He is not the same character as Haytham, who is playable during the opening sequence and serves as a major opposing figure. Connor's heritage and divided identity are central themes of the game's narrative.
