Haytham Kenway (1725 - 1781) was a Templar of British descent. He eventually became the Grand Master of the Templar Order in Colonial America. Born to the Assassin Edward Kenway, Haytham was converted to the Templar cause by Reginald Birch. After being sent to America to find a First Civilization storehouse and establish a permanent Order in the New World, Haytham became the Grand Master of the American Templars. He fathered the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton with the mohawk woman Kaniehti:io and he is an ancestor of William Miles and Desmond Miles.
