'''Jennifer "Jenny" Scott''' (1713 – 1805) was the daughter of [[Edward Kenway]] and [[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline Scott]], the half-sister of [[Haytham Kenway]], and aunt of [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
[[File:The End 10.png|thumb|250px|left|Jennifer meeting her father for the first time]]
During her father's travels in the [[Caribbean]], Jennifer lived with her mother in [[Bristol]]. Born after her father's departure, Jennifer was unknown to Edward, but following the death of her mother in 1720, made arrangements to travel to [[Great Inagua]] to be with him. After meeting, they set sail aboard the ''[[Jackdaw]]'', sharing a conversation over a variety of subjects.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

Returning to England, Jennifer soon came to live with her father, his second wife [[Tessa Kenway|Tessa Stephenson-Oakley]] and their son Haytham in [[Queen Anne's Square]] in Bloomsbury, [[London]].<ref name="ACF">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forsaken]]''</ref> However, she refused to use the Kenway surname, saying that she had been raised solely by her mother in her early years and would thus keep her mother's maiden name.<ref name="AC4" />

She was renowned by the noblemen of London for her great beauty, and for her "smokey" stare, though Haytham thought of it to be more akin to a scowl, due in part to her resentment of her father for not training her in the ways of the [[Assassins]]. As a result, she was often cold towards her half-brother, and railed against her father's plans to marry her to [[Reginald Birch]], one of the Kenway's senior property managers.<ref name="ACF" />

===Kidnapping===
In 1735, after discovering Birch was a [[Templars|Templar]] and informing her father, five [[mercenaries]] kidnapped her after storming [[Kenway Mansion|the house]], killing her father and taking his [[Edward Kenway's journal|journal]]. Birch had her sold to [[Turkey|Turkish]] [[Slavery|slavers]], while pinning the crime on Edward's valet [[Jack Digweed]] and taking Haytham under his wing.<ref name="ACF" />

Jennifer became a concubine in [[Topkapı Palace]], and by 1757, she was transported to [[Damascus]], to serve under the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] governor in charge, {{Wiki|As'ad Pasha al-Azm}}. However, since Jennifer was in her mid-40s at the time, she was too old to be a concubine, working instead as a servant. Ultimately, Haytham and his loyal friend, [[Jim Holden]], infiltrated the palace to find and rescue her.<ref name="ACF" />

After informing Haytham that Birch killed their father, they launched an attack on his chateau near [[Troyes]], [[France]]. Jennifer attacked Birch in his office, and despite him holding a knife to her throat, she managed to throw him onto a sword pinned in the door, ending his life.<ref name="ACF" />

===Return to London===
Jennifer returned to London to take hold of the mansion in Queen Anne's Square, and while she and Haytham stayed in touch, their correspondence was distant since neither of them knew each other very well. Jennifer was also somewhat disappointed that her half-brother opted to remain a Templar after dealing with Birch. She would go on to live a solitary life in London, refusing to speak with people after the ordeal she went through in her youth, and eventually became a spinster.<ref name="ACF" /> Nevertheless she was saddened to learn of her brother's death at the hands of his son.

[[File:Jennifer and Elise.jpg|250px|thumb|Jennifer giving the pendant to Élise]]
In April 1788 Jennifer met [[Élise de la Serre]] – who was using the false identity of Yvonne Albertine – and her maid [[Hélène]], who had been sent to infiltrate the house to steal [[Haytham Kenway's letters|letters]] that Haytham had written during his time as [[Grand Master]] of the [[Colonial Rite of the Templar Order|Colonial Rite]]. Jennifer discovered Élise's true identity, and after a confrontation she agreed to hand over the letters, hoping that Élise would gain wisdom from his words and see that the Assassins and Templars could unite in their goals.<ref name="ACUbook">[[Assassin's Creed: Unity (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' novel]]</ref>

She also gifted Élise with a jeweled Templar pendant that Haytham had sent her, but the two women parted on bad terms, as Jennifer refused to take part in [[Assassin-Templar War|the struggle]] between Assassins and Templars, as it had already claimed most of her family.<ref name="ACUbook" />

Later in life, Jennifer would occasionally propose that Assassins and Templars should reconcile,<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Underworld]]''</ref> until her death sometime in 1805.<ref name="ACS" />

==Trivia==
*The dress Jennifer is seen wearing at the [[Theatre Royal]] is nearly identical to the one she wore as a young girl, differing only in color. It also resembled the dress worn by her late mother in the latter's concept art.
*In the [[Assassin's Creed: Unity (novel)|''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' novel]] by [[Oliver Bowden]], Jennifer is categorized as a [[British Rite of the Templar Order|British Templar]], however it's unknown when she joined and how long she remained one.
*In ''Assassin's Creed: Forsaken'', like her father, Jennifer is described as having black hair, though she has been shown to have blonde hair in ''Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag''.
