Connor is the common English-language name used for Ratonhnhaké:ton, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III.
Ratonhnhaké:ton is a Kanien'kehá:ka man who becomes involved with the Assassins during the American Revolution. The name Connor is given to him by Achilles Davenport, the retired Assassin who trains him. As a result, game materials and English-language discussions generally call the playable hero Connor, while his Kanien'kehá:ka name remains central to his identity and story.
Connor is the son of Haytham Kenway, the protagonist's father and a Templar Grand Master. Their relationship is one of the game's major dramatic threads. Desmond Miles also appears in modern-day sections, but he is not the historical playable character represented by Connor.
