How Grand, Master Kenway! was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway and Haytham Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus.

Description[edit | edit source]

Edward sailed to England with his daughter, Jennifer Scott.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

  • Jennifer: Father... did you always know how to sail a boat?
  • Edward: The Jackdaw is a ship, Jenny. Not a boat.
  • Jennifer: But did you always know?
  • Edward: No. No, I learned after leaving Bristol.
  • Jennifer: After you left mother?
  • Edward: Well, I didn't leave your... I didn't leave without saying goodbye, that is. It was an arrangement, you see? Between your mother and me.
  • Jennifer: She said you left her. She said you always talked about sailing a boat and making money in the New World.
  • Edward: I did always want to sail a ship, that's true. But not for a lark. To support us. To take care of her... and you.
  • Jennifer: Not me. Mother said you didn't know about me. She said you wrote only once a year, and that she never knew where to find you.
  • Edward: That's all true. And I'm sorry for that. If I had known earlier... I don't know. I might have come home. I hope that I would have.
  • Jennifer: Well... you were busy. That's what I think.
  • Edward: I was. But... that wouldn't have mattered.
  • Jennifer: Can I steer your boat?
  • Edward: Boat? I see no boat here. Do you?
  • Jennifer: Ugh. I mean ship, obviously. I don't see the difference anyway.
  • Edward: Ah! It's a very simple one, Jenny. A ship can carry a boat, but a boat cannot carry a ship.
The Jackdaw sailing for England
  • Jennifer: Why, then everything is a ship, large and small, but for my toy boat. The one I take into the bath with me.
  • Edward: That's a clever way of seeing it. Is it hard to talk about Caroline, Jenny? About your mother?
  • Jennifer: Hmmm... no. She passed some years ago. I miss her, but it's all right.
  • Edward: Was she in pain?
  • Jennifer: I don't know. I don't think so. She was very happy for quite some time. Then not so happy. I didn't see her much after that. Then she was gone.
  • Edward: I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.
  • Jennifer: It's all right. You're here now. And we're on an adventure!
  • Edward: Only a little one, I hope. I can't handle too many more surprises.
  • Jennifer: Do you think we'll see a whale?
  • Edward: Yes. There's a very good chance.
  • Jennifer: Hm! And what about pirates? Will I see pirates?
  • Edward: No. There's not much chance of that, I think.
  • Jennifer: Oh. That's rather sad. I should have liked to have seen one.
  • Edward: Tell you what, Jenny. As soon as these winds die a little bit, I'll let you steer the Jackdaw. One little trick at the helm before sundown.
  • Jennifer: Yay!
Jennifer speaking with a suitor

Several years later, Edward, Jennifer and Haytham attended The Beggar's Opera at the Theatre Royal in London.

  • Suitor: Miss Jennifer Kenway. May I introduce myself...
  • Jennifer: Jennifer Scott, if you please.
  • Suitor: I'm sorry. I- I...

Edward interjected.

  • Edward: My daughter was raised by her mother, Caroline, until she passed away some years ago. Jenny prefers to use her surname to mine.
  • Suitor: Ah. Forgive my ignorance.
  • Edward: I will. She may not.
  • Haytham: Father, help me!

Edward turned to Haytham.

Edward speaking with Haytham
  • Edward: This little rascal, however, IS a Kenway. What's wrong, Haytham?
  • Haytham: I can't see the stage!
  • Edward: Up we go. How's that?
  • Haytham: Fine. But won't your arms tire?
  • Edward: Hey, I'm not so old as that! But if they do, then we shall quit this posh gig and go and meet your mother for some chocolate at White's. How's that sound?
  • Haytham: Yes, please!
  • Edward: Ok. Hush now...

Outcome[edit | edit source]

Edward and his daughter returned to England, where they started their lives anew. Sometime later, Edward remarried and conceived a son, Haytham Kenway.

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]

The ending of the memory is a callback to Haytham's conversation with Reginald Birch at the start of the memory "A Deadly Performance" in Assassin's Creed III, where he mentions that his father once brought him to see The Beggar's Opera as a child.
