In Assassin's Creed III, Connor Kenway's mother is Kaniehtí:io.
Kaniehtí:io, commonly called Kaniehtí:io or Ziio in different references, is a Kanien'kehá:ka woman from the village of Kanatahséton. She is an important character in Connor's early life and helps establish his connection to the Mohawk community.
Connor is born Ratonhnhaké:ton. His father is Haytham Kenway, a British Templar, while Kaniehtí:io is his Mohawk mother. Their relationship places Connor between competing cultures and political forces during the American Revolution.
The spelling can cause confusion because the character is often identified by the shorter name Ziio in game materials and summaries. The specific canonical name used for her is Kaniehtí:io, and she is distinct from Connor's childhood friend Kanen'tó:kon.
