In Assassin's Creed III, what is the Mohawk name of Connor, the game's protagonist?

The story behind the answer

Ratonhnhaké:ton is the Mohawk name of Connor, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III.

Born to a Mohawk mother and a British Templar father, he uses the name Ratonhnhaké:ton within his community and adopts “Connor” after entering wider colonial society. The story follows his life during the American Revolution and his involvement with the Assassin order.

The game presents Connor's childhood in the Mohawk village of Kanatahséton before moving through his training and missions across the thirteen colonies. His personal story intersects with figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and his father, Haytham Kenway.

The name is often shortened to Connor in menus, marketing, and general discussion, but Ratonhnhaké:ton is the character's Mohawk name. Kaniehtí:io is his mother's name, which is a frequent source of mix-ups.
