Template:WPAssassins 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
