'''Tessa Kenway''' (née '''Stephenson-Oakley'''; unknown – 1747) was the second wife of [[Edward Kenway]], the mother of [[Haytham Kenway|Haytham]], and the grandmother of [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]. She is also an ancestor of [[Desmond Miles]], through the [[William Miles|paternal line]].<br />

==Biography==<br />
hello <br />
<br />
Tessa was the daughter of a wealthy landowner.<ref name="ACF">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forsaken]]''</ref> In 1723, Edward Kenway retired from a life of [[piracy]], and was introduced to the Stephenson-Oakley family by [[Robert Walpole]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag]]''</ref> The former pirate rented out one of Tessa's father's houses. Tessa decided to help Edward buy [[Kenway Mansion|his own home]] and to find the necessary servants, eventually falling in love and marrying him. Her family disapproved of the union, leading to them becoming estranged.<ref name="ACF" /><br />
<br />
With the birth of Haytham, Tessa, Edward and Edward's daughter from his first marriage, [[Jennifer Scott|Jennifer]], lived in a manor on [[Queen Anne's Square]] in Bloomsbury. There, Tessa treated Haytham with unequivocal affection, until the night before his tenth birthday in 1735.<ref name="ACF"/><br />
<br />
On this night, five [[mercenaries]] broke into the house, and she witnessed her son kill an assailant in order to protect her. As a result of this attack, Edward, an [[Assassins|Assassin]], was killed for a [[Edward Kenway's journal|journal]] that he possessed, which contained encoded information about the [[Isu|First Civilization]].<ref name="ACF"/><br />
<br />
Following this, seeing her son as a killer, as opposed to the innocent boy he had been prior to the assault, Tessa agreed to let [[Reginald Birch]] train Haytham in [[Europe]]. She stayed behind in [[United Kingdom|England]] to oversee the reconstruction of the manor, but passed away twelve years later after suffering a fall.<ref name="ACF"/><br />
