In Assassin’s Creed III, what is the name of the protagonist’s father, Haytham Kenway?

In Assassin’s Creed III, the protagonist’s father is Haytham Kenway.

Haytham is introduced as the playable character during the opening chapters, before the story shifts to his son, Ratonhnhaké:ton, who is commonly known by the name Connor. Haytham is a highly trained Templar and serves as the game’s first major viewpoint character.

The Kenway family is central to several Assassin’s Creed stories. Haytham is the son of Edward Kenway, the pirate protagonist of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. His own son, Connor, becomes an Assassin and fights during the American Revolution. This family connection links the Caribbean, colonial America, and later series lore.

A common mix-up is confusing Haytham with Charles Lee, another important Templar in the game, or with Achilles Davenport, Connor’s mentor. Haytham’s role is unusual because he is both a major playable character and the father of the eventual Assassin protagonist.
