Ratonhnhaké:ton [edit]

Ratonhnhaké:ton (pron.: /ˈrəduːnˈhəɡeɪduːn/; "Ra-doon-ha-gay-doon"; life that is scratched, referring to a struggle to survive.^[3]) (1756-unknown), also known by the adopted name of Connor, is the protagonist of Assassin's Creed III, voiced by and modeled on Noah Watts. Since every Kanien'keha:ka name is unique, at the advice of their Mohawk cultural consultants, Ubisoft agreed not to trademark the name "Ratonhnhaké:ton".^[4] Contrary to several known Assassins who possessed connections to eagles, Ratonhnhaké:ton was more closely likened to a wolf. Born in Colonial America to an English father, Haytham Kenway, and a Mohawk (Kanien'keha:ka) mother, Kaniehti:io. Ratonhnhaké:ton was raised by his mother among the Kanien'keha:ka during the Seven Years' War.

Ratonhnhaké:ton's village was attacked and burned to the ground and his mother killed, which is how he gained incentive to seek justice and fight tyranny, coming across the Assassin's Order. Ratonhnhaké:ton was trained by a former Mentor named Achilles Davenport, who named him Connor (after his son) in order to mask his mixed ethinicity. Ratonhnhaké:ton was skilled at climbing and maneuvering from trees and mountain cliffs with the same as in a traditional urban environment; was skilled at naval warfare, being the captain of the Assassin Navy's flagship, The Aquila; and was skilled at foraging, tracking, hunting, skinning animals, then selling their pelts, due to his Iroquois heritage. In combat, Ratonhnhaké:ton employed predator-style maneuvers, martial arts techniques and stealth tactics, and was capable of wielding many weapons; including the signature double-hidden blade, capable of rotating out into a wield-able knife on his left hand; dual-flintlock pistols and muskets; poison and rope darts; smoke bombs and trip mines; clubs, swords, daggers, throwing knives; spears and heavy weapons; a bow and arrows; and, most noticeably, a uniquetomahawk with its blade shaped as the Assassin insignia. During the American Revolution, Ratonhnhaké:ton found himself allying with many of its important key figures.^[5] Ratonhnhaké:ton's actions allowed his descendant, Desmond Miles, to find the key to the Grand Temple through the Animus and save Earth from the solar flare. He also eradicated most of the Templar Order's influence and control in British Colonial America with his assassinations of their leaders. Along with this, his work in the Colonial cities of Boston and New York strengthened the Assassin Brotherhood with more recruits, as well as assist the people of the region. His support of the Continental Army led to many victories, eventually allowing the Colonist to break off from the British. In the process though, his work allowed the Americans to force his people farther west, away from their homelands. As the Captain of the Aquila, he was a major contributor to the safety of trade-passages around the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean Islands. As the owner of the Davenport Homestead's lands, he also helped several colonists that were experiencing hardships around the area. In The Tyranny of King Washington, Washington was plagued by horrific nightmares and sought Ratonhnhaké:ton out for help, which he revealed were caused by an Apple of Eden that Washington recovered from an officer after the Siege of Yorktown. Ratonhnhaké:ton convinced Washington to hand him the Apple, but as he took the Apple from his hands, both the Commander and the Assassin were transported to a parallel universe for an instant. When they returned to their own world, to the very moment they both touched the Apple, Ratonhnhaké:ton and Washington glared at each other, repulsed by seeing what each other did in the alternate world, but Washington relented and gave up the Apple. Ratonhnhaké:ton stated no man should possess its power, so the commander suggested dropping it into the ocean; Ratonhnhaké:ton took the Aquila with the Apple in a weighted bag and dropped it in the sea. In addition, Ratonhnhaké:ton's life was made accessible to an unknown group through hacking, the Erudito Collective, and the anonymous team was able to learn about the history of the Assassin Order.

Test 1

George Washington (February 22, 1732 [O.S. February 11, 1731]^{[Note 1][Note 2]} – December 14, 1799) was the first President of the United States (1789–1797), the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He presided over the convention that drafted the Constitution, which replaced the Articles of Confederation and established the position of President.

Washington was elected President as the unanimous choice of the 69 electors in 1788, and he served two terms in office. He oversaw the creation of a strong, well-financed national government that maintained neutrality in the wars raging in Europe, suppressed rebellion, and won acceptance among Americans of all types. His leadership style established many forms and rituals of government that have been used since, such as using a cabinet system and delivering an inaugural address. Further, the peaceful transition from his presidency to the presidency of John Adams established a tradition that continues into the 21st century. Washington was hailed as "father of his country" even during his lifetime.^[3][4]

Washington was born into the provincial gentry of Colonial Virginia; his wealthy planter family owned tobacco plantations and slaves. After both his father and older brother died when he was young, Washington became personally and professionally attached to the powerful William Fairfax, who promoted his career as a surveyor and soldier. Washington quickly became a senior officer in the colonial forces during the first stages of the French and Indian War. Chosen by the Second Continental Congress in 1775 to be commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolution, Washington managed to force the British out of Boston in 1776, but was defeated and almost captured later that year when he lost New York City. After crossing the Delaware River in the dead of winter, he defeated the British in two battles, retook New Jersey and restored momentum to the Patriot cause.
