The first name used by Assassin’s Creed III’s protagonist is Connor.
Connor is the name Ratonhnhaké:ton adopts while operating in the colonial American setting of the game. He is a Kanien’kehá:ka, also known as Mohawk, Assassin who becomes involved in the American Revolution and opposes his father, Haytham Kenway, a Templar leader.
The character has two commonly encountered names, which can cause confusion. Ratonhnhaké:ton is his Kanien’kehá:ka birth name, while Connor is the English name he uses in much of the game. He is not the same character as Desmond Miles, the modern-day protagonist whose memories are accessed through the Animus. Connor’s story spans events in the 18th century, including Boston, New York, and the American frontier.
