Which Assassin's Creed game first introduced the playable character Connor Kenway?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed III first introduced the playable character Connor Kenway.

Connor's birth name is Ratonhnhaké:ton, and he is a Kanien'kehá:ka man who joins the Assassin Brotherhood during the American Revolutionary War. The game follows his involvement in the conflict and his struggle against the Templar Charles Lee.

Assassin's Creed III was released in 2012 and is set in colonial North America. Its major locations include Boston and New York, while the Frontier provides a large wilderness environment for travel, hunting, and combat.

Connor is the son of Haytham Kenway, a Templar protagonist in the game's opening sequence. That family connection can lead to confusion with Edward Kenway, Connor's grandfather and the main character of Black Flag.
