What name does Assassin's Creed III give to its main protagonist?

Assassin's Creed III gives its main protagonist the name Connor Kenway.

Connor is the name used for Ratonhnhaké:ton after he joins the Assassin cause during the American Revolution. He is a Kanien'kehá:ka man from the Mohawk Valley who becomes involved in the conflict between the Assassins and Templars while seeking to protect his community.

The game follows Connor through eighteenth-century North America, including Boston, New York, and the American frontier. His father is Haytham Kenway, a Templar and an important playable character during the opening portion of the game.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is not a different protagonist; it is Connor's birth name. Haytham is also not Connor, despite their family relationship and shared surname. Connor's story is followed by the modern-day storyline of Desmond Miles, who experiences Connor's genetic memories through the Animus.
