Connor is the codename used for the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III.
The character's birth name is Ratonhnhaké:ton, and he is a member of the Kanien'kehá:ka, also known as the Mohawk. The name Connor is adopted during his interactions with Achilles Davenport, who trains him as an Assassin. The game follows Connor during the American Revolution, including conflicts involving the Colonial Assassins and Templars.
Connor's story connects Indigenous identity, colonial politics, and the broader Assassin-Templar conflict. He encounters historical figures such as George Washington and participates in events surrounding Boston, New York, and the frontier.
Haytham Kenway is Connor's father and an important playable character in the opening sequence, but he is not Connor's codename. Ratonhnhaké:ton is the character's birth name, while Desmond Miles is the modern-day protagonist who experiences Connor's memories.
