Kenways

At some point we might have to link the Kenway family instead of listing Edward, Haytham and Connor in articles to do with blending and eavesdropping when discussing the AnvilNext games. Thoughts anyone?

The Kenway family were a 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 pirate Edward Kenway, born to an English father and Welsh mother. He married Caroline Scott and had a daughter named Jenny. After joining the Assassins and ending his life in the Caribbean, Edward remarried to Tessa Stephenson-Oakley, and they had a son named 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 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.

Tactics

Edward, Haytham and Connor were masters of 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

The 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 King Henry VII and earned a seat in the Star Chamber.

In 1588, the Assassins killed the anti-Protestant Queen Mary, who was succeeded by Queen Elizabeth.

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. They wrote to King Charles, who was in exile in the Dutch Republic to keep him informed.

In 1754, the Assassin Miko, who possessed a 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.

Far East

For the inevitable Shao Jun or Japanese ACs.

The Far East referred to the countries located in east Asia.

The Chinese and 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.

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.

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.

Religion

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.

The Aztecs' worship of Tezcatlipoca involved human sacrifices, greatly disgusting the troops under Hernán Cortés.

The Hermeticists believed man, the gods and the world were all equal, and were driven underground as their beliefs undermined the Church.

The Freemasons were a Brotherhood founded after the Renaissance which allowed any man, regardless of what god he believed in, to join.
