In Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, what is the full name of the main protagonist?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag's main protagonist is Edward Kenway.

Edward is a Welsh privateer who becomes a pirate in the early eighteenth-century Caribbean. His pursuit of wealth and status draws him into the conflict between Assassins and Templars, where he repeatedly encounters historical pirates and political powers.

Edward is the father of Haytham Kenway and the grandfather of Ratonhnhaké:ton, also known as Connor, the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III. That family connection often causes players to confuse their names or games. Black Flag's story also features the pirate Edward Thatch, better known as Blackbeard, but Blackbeard is a historical supporting character rather than the playable protagonist.
