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.
