Haytham Kenway

Edward Kenway's son was raised for the Brotherhood until Templar hirelings killed his father and a Templar mentor, Reginald Birch, quietly raised the orphan for the other side — the Order's longest con and its finest return. Charming, lethal and genuinely principled, Haytham built the Colonial Rite from nothing, sponsored Shay's purge of the Assassins, and fathered — with Ziio, before the lies surfaced — the man who would undo his work. AC III's opening hours let you love him before showing you the ring; his later debates with Connor are the Templar case argued in good faith: people never have the power, only the illusion of it.
