What is the name of the main character in Assassin’s Creed III?

Connor Kenway is the main character in Assassin’s Creed III. He is the Assassin name used by Ratonhnhaké:ton, a Kanien’kehá:ka man whose story unfolds during the American Revolution.

Connor is born in the Mohawk village of Kanatahséton and later trains under Achilles Davenport. He becomes involved in the conflict between the Assassins and Templars while navigating the competing interests of Indigenous communities, colonial powers, and revolutionaries. His personal story intersects with major events from the late eighteenth century.

The name can cause confusion because Connor’s father is Haytham Kenway, who is also a playable character during the opening portion of the game. Edward Kenway, Haytham’s father, is the pirate protagonist of Black Flag. Ratonhnhaké:ton is Connor’s birth name, while Connor Kenway is the identity most commonly used for his Assassin role.

Assassin’s Creed III was released in 2012. Its setting includes the American colonies, frontier spaces, Boston, and New York, making it broader than a single urban campaign.
