Which Assassin's Creed protagonist is a member of the Mohawk Kanien'kehá:ka people and uses the name Ratonhnhaké:ton?

The story behind the answer

Connor Kenway is the Assassin's Creed protagonist whose birth name is Ratonhnhaké:ton and who is connected to the Mohawk Kanien'kehá:ka people.

He is the central playable character of Assassin's Creed III. The game follows his life during the American Revolution, from his childhood in a Kanien'kehá:ka community to his involvement with the Assassin Brotherhood. He adopts the name Connor in interactions with colonial society, while Ratonhnhaké:ton remains his birth name.

Connor is the son of Haytham Kenway, a Templar protagonist whose story is also explored in Assassin's Creed III. This family connection can create confusion: Edward Kenway is Haytham's father, while Connor is Haytham's son. Connor is therefore part of a multigenerational Kenway storyline.

The game represents historical Indigenous communities through a fictionalized narrative and should not be treated as a complete account of Kanien'kehá:ka history. Its setting includes Boston, New York, and the American frontier.
