In Assassin's Creed III, what is the name of Connor's father, the Templar Haytham?
Answer
Haytham Kenway
Answer
Haytham Kenway
In Assassin's Creed III, Connor's father is the Templar Haytham Kenway.
Haytham is introduced as the playable character in the game's opening chapters. He travels to the American colonies on a mission connected to the Templar Order and searches for a way to access an important site. His perspective establishes several major characters and conflicts before Connor's story begins.
Haytham is the son of Edward Kenway, the pirate protagonist of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. He later has a son with Kaniehti:io, and that son is Ratonhnhaké:ton, who is known publicly as Connor. The family line links the Caribbean pirate story, the American Revolution, and the Templar–Assassin conflict.
A common mistake is to identify Edward as Connor's father. Edward is Connor's grandfather. Another is to treat Haytham as an Assassin because he shares Kenway ancestry with Connor; Haytham is instead a committed Templar and remains a major opponent of his son.
