| “He has such a mixed heritage and upbringing and exposure to so many different ideas, so he’s quite unique in the world,” May said. “It makes him more thoughtful. He’s more considerate of different perspectives. He spends a lot more time observing and thinking than he does making snap judgments and proclamations.”

| “He sees a lot of wrong in the world … and he finds that there’s no one else out there willing to do anything about it,” May said. “It definitely makes him a bit of an idealist and in some sense, it makes him a little bit naive, that he thinks that one person can make a difference, but he clings to that belief and remains very firm in his convictions, so I think it makes him endearing in a way that previous assassins haven’t been.”<ref>[http://herocomplex.latimes.com/games/assassins-creed-3-writer-corey-may/ ''Los Angeles Times'': ‘Assassin’s Creed 3′ writer Corey May adds revolutionary details]</ref>

| =Kenway family=
| | {{Era|AC3L|AC4}} |
| The '''Kenway family''' were a [[United Kingdom|British]] family during the 18th century, whose members individually swore allegiance to the [[Assassins]] and [[Templars]].
| | {{Quote|Hey, did you ever think about that word? "Smuggler?" Rather funny, isn't it?|A smuggler working for [[Upton Travers]], 1715.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}} |
| | '''Smuggling''' is the illegal transportation of goods. |
|
| |
|
| ==History== | | ==Far East== |
| The earliest known member of the Kenway family was the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Edward Kenway]], born to an English father and Welsh mother. He married [[Caroline Scott]] and had a daughter named [[Jenny Kenway|Jenny]]. After joining the Assassins and ending his life in the [[Caribbean]], Edward remarried to [[Tessa Kenway|Tessa Stephenson-Oakley]], and they had a son named [[Haytham Kenway|Haytham]] in [[London]].
| | For the inevitable Shao Jun or Japanese ACs. |
|
| |
|
| In 1735, Edward was murdered by men secretly working for [[Reginald Birch]], who also kidnapped Jenny and sold her into [[slavery]]. Birch took in Haytham under his wing and trained him to become a Templar. In 1757, Haytham rescued Jenny from [[Damascus]] and learned the truth, and they killed Birch. Despite this, Haytham remained loyal to the Order.
| | {{Era|AC2|ACB|ACR|DYL|TSC|ACE}} |
| | The '''Far East''' referred to the countries located in east [[Asia]]. |
|
| |
|
| Two years beforehand, while searching for the [[Grand Temple]] in [[North America]], Haytham conceived a child with the [[Kanien'kehá:ka]] woman [[Kaniehtí:io]]. Their son [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] became the [[Colonial Assassins|Colonial Assassin]] Connor, who eventually killed his father when it became clear their ideologies were irreconcilable.
| | The [[Chinese Assassins|Chinese]] and [[Mongolian Assassins|Mongolian]] branches of the [[Assassins]] were active in the region, removing tyrants like [[Qin Shi Huang]] and [[Genghis Khan]]. Despite Genghis' assassination at the hands of [[Qulan Gal]], and the aid of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], the [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]], they were unable to stop the spread of the [[Mongol Empire]] and the conquering of [[China]]. |
|
| |
|
| Connor eventually had children, whose bloodline continued to [[Desmond Miles]].
| | The [[Italian Assassins]], including [[Marco Polo]], travelled through the Far East and to the court of [[Kublai Khan]], where they recovered [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's Codex]]. |
|
| |
|
| And that's it for now, until we learn about Connor's kids or if Haytham had a French child or something. :S
| | By 1524, the Chinese Assassins had been wiped out by the Emperor [[Jiajing]]. After seeking the aid of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], the former Mentor of the Italian Assassins, [[Shao Jun]] journey back to her country to rebuild the Order. By the 21st century, the Assassins had a cell located in [[Osaka]], [[Japan]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Tactics== | | ==Religion== |
| Edward, Haytham and Connor were masters of [[Fists|hand-to-hand combat]] and [[dual-wielding]], and trained in [[freerunning]] and [[swimming]]. They were also adept at being inconspicuous while [[blending]] and [[eavesdropping]], making more of an effort to socialize while doing the former.
| | {{Era|AC|ACBL|AC2|AC2D|ACB|ACR|AC3}} |
| | '''Religion''' is something the leaders of the [[Templars]] and [[Assassins]] do not practice due to their knowledge of the [[First Civilization]]. The former often moved into religious positions of power to control people, while the latter protected the rights of people to believe what they wanted. |
|
| |
|
| As he was trained by Templars rather than Assassins, Haytham lacked skills his father and his son shared, like the ability to balance on tree branches or [[hunting]] and fighting wild animals. He also never commanded his own ship.
| | The [[Aztecs]]' worship of {{Wiki|Tezcatlipoca}} involved human sacrifices, greatly disgusting the [[Spanish Army|troops]] under [[Hernán Cortés]]. |
|
| |
|
| =Ships=
| | The [[Hermeticists]] believed man, the gods and the world were all equal, and were driven underground as their beliefs undermined the Church. |
| {{Era|AC3|AC4}}
| |
| '''Ships''' are large watercraft used for transport or war. Medieval [[Assassins]] hired ships to sail across the [[Mediterranean Sea]], but by the [[Golden Age of Piracy]], they were sailing their own ships for naval combat. The ''[[Aquila]]'' was launched from [[France]] in 1749 as the flagship of the Assassin Navy.<ref name="AC3"/> The Assassin [[Gavin]] manned a ship, the ''[[Altair II]]'', in 2012.

| *She later showed Desmond that if he did not release her from the [[Grand Temple]], then the cataclysm would have destroyed humanity, and he would have led the survivors in a restart of civilization. Long after his death, history would have repeated itself, as Desmond would have been worshipped as a god, and his teachings used to justify mass murder.
