| The '''English Civil War''' was a series of conflicts fought between supporters of King Charles I and Parliament, who disputed the degree of control the other group ought to have over the country.
| |
| | |
| After two periods of conflict, Charles I was executed in 1649, and England became a republic ruled by Parliament. His son Charles II returned from exile in the [[Netherlands]] and gathered an army from Scotland, Wales and Gloucestershire. He lost the war at the Battle of Worcester, where Oliver Cromwell's larger force routed the Royalists. Charles escaped via St. Martin's Gate after the {{Wiki|Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Cleveland|Earl of Cleveland}} led a diversionary cavalry charge.

| |
| {{WP-REAL}}
| |
| The '''Palace of Westminster''' is the meeting place of the [[United Kingdom|British Parliament]] in [[London]].
| |
|
| |
| During the [[Renaissance]], it housed a secret court known as the {{Wiki|Star Chamber}}, named for the stars painted on the ceiling of the meeting room. There, members could try powerful members of society whom ordinary courts were incapable of convicting. [[Henry VII of England|King Henry VII]] offered the [[Italian Assassins]] a seat in the Chamber after they killed his enemy [[Margaret of York]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts (Assassin's Creed III)|Contracts]]</ref>

| |
| '''Westminster Abbey''' is a large church located west of the [[Palace of Westminster]] in [[London]]. It is the site for coronations of the [[United Kingdom|English]] [[monarchy]], as well as burials and Royal weddings.
| |
|
| |
| In 1661, during the coronation of [[Charles II|King Charles II]], he noticed his general [[George Monck]] speaking with a man holding an [[Apples of Eden|Apple of Eden]], but had to bow his head to receive his crown from the Archbishop {{Wiki|William Juxon}} before he could look further.

| |
| '''The Louvre''', located in [[Paris]], [[France]], is one of the largest museums in the world. During the [[Renaissance]], it was a royal palace.
| |
|
| |
| In 1527, the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Giovanni Borgia]] received permission to consult the Louvre's library with [[Maria Amiel]]. They discovered [[Nicolas Flamel]]'s will leaving his [[Book of Abraham|grimoire]] to his nephew, and used the records to locate his closest living relative.

| [[Corey May]]'s description of Connor:
| | {{Era|AC3L|AC4}} |
| | | {{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}} |
| “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.”
| | '''Smuggling''' is the illegal transportation of goods. |
| | |
| Unlike previous Assassin Altaïr, who was motivated by his desire to restore his honor, and Ezio, who was motivated by revenge, Connor is motivated by a desire to “just do good in the world,” May said.
| |
| | |
| “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>

| The '''Kenway family''' were a [[United Kingdom|British]] family during the 18th century, whose members individually swore allegiance to the [[Assassins]] and [[Templars]].
| |
| | |
| ===History===
| |
| 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]].
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| Connor eventually had children, whose bloodline continued to [[Desmond Miles]].
| |
| | |
| And that's it for now, until we learn about Connor's kids or if Haytham had a French child or something. :S
| |
| | |
| ===Tactics===
| |
| 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. They all possessed [[Eagle Vision]].
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| ==British Assassins==
| |
| {{Era|ACB|AC3}} | |
| The [[United Kingdom|British Brotherhood]] originated from the members of the [[Italian Assassins]] who came to [[London]] in 1503 to kill [[Margaret of York]]. They gained the trust of [[Henry VII of England|King Henry VII]] and earned a seat in the {{Wiki|Star Chamber}}.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts (Project Legacy)|Contracts]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| In 1588, the Assassins killed the anti-Protestant [[Mary I of England|Queen Mary]], who was succeeded by [[Elizabeth I of England|Queen Elizabeth]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' - [[Glyphs]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| During the reign of [[Oliver Cromwell]], the Assassins collaborated with General [[George Monck]] to undermine Cromwell's regime, in exchange for the Crown's [[Apple of Eden 2|Apple of Eden]]. They wrote to [[Charles II of England|King Charles]], who was in exile in the [[Netherlands|Dutch Republic]] to keep him informed.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' - [[Holidays: Chapter 1 - Ghosts of Christmas Past]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| In 1754, the Assassin [[Miko]], who possessed a [[Grand Temple Key|key]] for the [[Grand Temple]], was murdered in the [[Theatre Royal]] by the Templar [[Haytham Kenway]]. Kenway promptly left for [[Boston]] on the ''[[Providence]]'', but was followed by [[Louis Mills]], who left a trail for the [[Colonial Assassins]] on the ''[[Aquila]]''. However, Kenway discovered Mills' allegiance and killed him, before sailing the ''Providence'' into a storm to shake off the ''Aquila''.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>
