In Assassin's Creed III, what is the birth name of the protagonist later known as Connor?
Answer
Ratonhnhaké:ton
Answer
Ratonhnhaké:ton
In Assassin's Creed III, the protagonist later known as Connor was born Ratonhnhaké:ton.
Ratonhnhaké:ton is a Kanien'kehá:ka name. He is the son of Haytham Kenway, an English Templar, and Kaniehtí:io, a Kanien'kehá:ka woman. After events in his childhood threaten his community, he seeks training from Achilles Davenport and adopts the name Connor to communicate more easily with colonial society.
The name Connor is therefore an adopted public name rather than his birth name. The character is commonly called Connor in game discussions, which can obscure the distinction. He is also sometimes incorrectly identified as a member of the Kenway family only through his father; his maternal Kanien'kehá:ka heritage is central to his identity and story.
Assassin's Creed III places Connor amid the American Revolution, with missions involving Boston, New York, and the surrounding frontier. His personal conflict intersects with the wider struggle between Assassins and Templars.
