What was the original title of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Connor?

The story behind the answer

Ratonhnhaké:ton was the original name of Assassin's Creed III protagonist Connor.

Ratonhnhaké:ton is a Kanien'kehá:ka, also known as Mohawk, character born in the village of Kanatahséton. He later adopts the name Connor after meeting Achilles Davenport, who trains him in the Assassin tradition. The name Connor helps him move through colonial society, while Ratonhnhaké:ton reflects his identity and upbringing within his Indigenous community.

Assassin's Creed III is set during the American Revolution and follows his involvement with both the colonial conflict and the long-running Assassin–Templar struggle. His father, Haytham Kenway, is a Templar and the game's opening protagonist, creating a direct family connection between opposing factions.

Connor is the name most commonly used in marketing and everyday discussion, but it is not his birth name. Haytham is his father, not an alternate name for Connor. The diacritics in Ratonhnhaké:ton can vary in informal writing, so the canonical spelling is the clearest answer.
