Jennifer "Jenny" Scott (1713 – 1805) was the daughter of Edward Kenway and Caroline Scott, the half-sister of Haytham Kenway, and the paternal aunt of Ratonhnhaké:ton.
Biography
Early life
Jennifer was born in Bristol in 1713, not long after her father Edward had left for the West Indies to try and earn a fortune as a privateer.[2] Prior to Edward's departure, Caroline had chosen to conceal her pregnancy from him and as such he did not learn about his daughter's existence until many years later.[3]
During her father's travels in the Caribbean, Jennifer was raised by her mother, with whom she lived in the house of her grandparents, Emmett and Elizabeth Scott. However, while the latter was supportive, Emmett frequently mistreated Caroline, having disowned her due to her marriage to Edward.[4] This caused Jennifer to later recall that her mother had her moments of both happiness and sadness.[2]
In 1720, Caroline passed away after contracting smallpox from Emmett, and Jennifer was thus left in the care of her grandparents. The young girl later manifested a desire to contact her father and was secretly helped by Elizabeth, who wrote a letter to Edward informing him of Caroline's passing and Jennifer's existence and arranged for a ship to take the latter to Great Inagua in 1722.[4] There, Jennifer met her father for the first time before the two set sail aboard the Jackdaw,[3] sharing a conversation over a variety of subjects.[2]
Returning to England, Jennifer soon came to live with her father, his second wife Tessa Stephenson-Oakley and their son Haytham in a mansion located in Queen Anne's Square in Bloomsbury, London.[5] However, she refused to use the Kenway surname, saying that she had been raised solely by her mother for most of her youth and would thus keep her mother's maiden name.[2]
During her young adulthood, Jennifer was renowned by the noblemen of London for her great beauty, and for her "smokey" stare, though Haytham thought of it to be more akin to a scowl, due in part to her resentment of her father for not training her in the ways of the Assassins. As a result, she was often cold towards her half-brother, and railed against her father's plans to marry her to Reginald Birch, one of the Kenways' senior property managers.[5]
Kidnapping
In 1735, after discovering that Birch was secretly a Templar and informing her father, Jennifer was kidnapped by mercenaries who attacked the Kenway residence at night, killing Edward and stealing his journal. Birch then had her sold to Turkish slavers, while pinning the crime on Edward's valet Jack Digweed and taking Haytham under his wing to raise him as a Templar.[5]
Jennifer became a concubine in Topkapı Palace, and by 1757, she was transported to Damascus to serve under the Ottoman governor in charge, As'ad Pasha al-Azm. However, since Jennifer was already in her mid-40s by that point, she was considered too old to be a concubine and instead worked as a servant. Ultimately, Haytham and his loyal friend, Jim Holden, infiltrated the palace and rescued her in September 1757, though Holden was captured by the guards in the process. Haytham later rescued him, but not before he had been forced to undergo an operation to become an eunuch.[5]
After informing Haytham that Birch was responsible for their family's demise, the siblings, with the assistance of Holden, launched an attack on Birch's chateau near Troyes, France. There, Jennifer fought the Templar Grand Master in his office, and despite him holding a knife to her throat, she managed to throw him onto a sword pinned by Haytham in the door, ending his life.[5]
With Birch dead, Haytham proceeded to free the prisoners he had been keeping, Lucio and Monica Albertine, only to be impaled by the former with a sword, as Haytham had aided in their capture on Birch's orders. Subsequently, Jennifer and Holden tended to Haytham as he recovered from his injury over the course of several months. Once Haytham had fully recovered in January 1758, Holden committed suicide due to his trauma, and was buried by Haytham and Jennifer.[5]
Return to London
Jennifer later returned to London to take hold of the mansion in Queen Anne's Square, and while she and Haytham stayed in touch, their correspondence was distant since neither of them knew each other very well. Jennifer was also somewhat disappointed that her half-brother opted to remain a Templar after dealing with Birch. She would go on to live a solitary life in London, refusing to speak with people after the ordeal she went through in her youth, and eventually became a spinster.[5] Nevertheless, she was saddened to learn of her brother's death at the hands of his son in 1781.[6]
In April 1788, Jennifer met Élise de la Serre, who was using the false identity of Yvonne Albertine, and her maid Hélène, who had been sent to infiltrate the house to steal letters that Haytham had written during his time as Grand Master of the Colonial Rite. Jennifer discovered Élise's true identity, and after a confrontation she agreed to hand over the letters, hoping that Élise would gain wisdom from Haytham's words and see that the Assassins and Templars could unite in their goals.[6]
She also gifted Élise with a jeweled Templar pendant that Haytham had sent her, but the two women parted on bad terms, as Jennifer refused to take part in the struggle between Assassins and Templars which had already claimed most of her family.[6]
Later in life, Jennifer would occasionally propose that Assassins and Templars should reconcile,[7] until her death sometime in 1805.[8]
Trivia
- The dress Jennifer is seen wearing at the Theatre Royal is nearly identical to the one she wore as a young girl, differing only in color. It also resembled the dress worn by her late mother in the latter's concept art.
- In Assassin's Creed: Forsaken, like her father, Jennifer is described as having black hair, though she was later shown to have blonde hair in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
- Additionally, in Forsaken, Jennifer is referred to exclusively as "Jenny Kenway", despite Black Flag making it clear that she preferred using her mother's surname, Scott.
