In Assassin's Creed III, which Indigenous name belongs to protagonist Connor?

The story behind the answer

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

Ratonhnhaké:ton is a Kanien'kehá:ka man from the Mohawk community of Kanatahséton. He adopts the name Connor after meeting Achilles Davenport, who helps train him as an Assassin. The dual naming reflects the character's movement between Indigenous community life and the colonial world of the American Revolution.

Assassin's Creed III follows Connor through events including the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Revolutionary War. His father, Haytham Kenway, is a Templar and serves as a playable character in the game's opening sequence, making the Kenway family conflict central to the story.

Connor is a commonly used English name for the character, but Ratonhnhaké:ton is his birth name. Kanen'tó:kon is a different character from his community, while Haytham is his father.
