Which Assassin's Creed protagonist is the son of Haytham Kenway?

The story behind the answer

Connor Kenway is the son of Haytham Kenway in Assassin's Creed III.

Connor's birth name is Ratonhnhaké:ton, and he is the son of Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io. His story unfolds during the American Revolution, where he joins the Assassin Brotherhood and opposes the Templars. The game explores both his Indigenous heritage and his involvement in the revolutionary conflict.

Haytham is introduced as the playable protagonist of Assassin's Creed III's opening sequence. He is a Templar, creating a central family conflict when Connor later becomes an Assassin. The relationship between father and son is one of the game's major narrative threads.

Connor is often confused with Edward Kenway, who is Haytham's father and the main character of Black Flag. Shay Cormac is another former Assassin connected to the Kenway family story, but he is not Haytham's son. Connor also commands the ship Aquila during parts of the game.
