Connor Kenway is the Assassin's Creed III hero also known as Ratonhnhaké:ton. He is the son of the Templar Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io, a Kanien'kehá:ka woman. The name Connor is used in colonial society, while Ratonhnhaké:ton is his Kanien'kehá:ka name.
Connor's story unfolds during the American Revolutionary War. After his village is threatened, he seeks the Assassins and is trained by Achilles Davenport. He later becomes involved in major events and figures connected with the Revolution, including George Washington and Charles Lee. The game therefore follows both his personal struggle and the wider Assassin-Templar conflict.
Haytham Kenway is Connor's father and the opening playable character, not the main hero. Edward Kenway is Haytham's father and the protagonist of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Aveline is the lead character of Assassin's Creed Liberation.
