Haytham Kenway was a man from Great Britain, hailing from London in 1735. He was the father of Ratonhnhaké:ton, and an ancestor to Desmond Miles.[1]
With his father killed and his sister kidnapped after an attack on his family home, Haytham defended himself by killing at least one of his assailants.
Later on, Haytham came across a mysterious tutor, who taught him the skills he needed to begin a quest for retribution, trusting no-one and questioning everything he had been led to believe.[2]
Equipment and skills
Haytham was a capable freerunner, able to stealthily climb the inside of an opera house with little effort. He also possessed two Hidden Blades as well as the rare ability of Eagle Vision.
Trivia
- Haytham's name is connected to an eagle, continuing the eagle motif set by Aquilus, Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Aveline de Grandpré and Nikolai Orelov.
- Like some of Desmond's most important ancestors, the meaning of Haytham's name relates to his character:
- "Haytham" is an Arabic name meaning "young eagle."
- "Kenway" is an Old English name meaning "brave royal fighter."
