Template:WPAssassins Haytham Kenway was an English Assassin, 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 a Hidden Blade as well as the rare ability of Eagle Vision.
Trivia
- Haytham is an Arabic name meaning "young eagle," continuing the eagle motif in the series.[3]
- Unlike most Assassins, Haytham wore his hidden blade on his right forearm.
