==Summary==
Ratonhnhaké:ton (1756 – unknown), often known by the adopted name of Connor, was a Master Assassin of the Colonial Brotherhood of Assassins during the period of the American Revolutionary War. He is an ancestor of Desmond Miles, through the paternal line.
Ratonhnhaké:ton was born to the British Templar Haytham Kenway and Kaniehtí:io, a Kanien'kehá:ka woman from the village of Kanatahséton, nine months after their relationship abruptly ended. Born and raised within Kanatahséton, in 1760, while he was still a young child, he was assaulted by Charles Lee and other Colonial Templars seeking the First Civilization temple which the Kanien'kehá:ka were protecting, and lost his mother shortly after during the burning of his village by George Washington's forces. Ratonhnhaké:ton, however, mistakenly believed the Templars to be responsible for the attack.
Growing up concerned by the outside world's impact on his people, Ratonhnhaké:ton joined the Assassin Brotherhood to prevent the Templars from returning, at the behest of Juno. Finding the Templars had all but destroyed the Colonial Assassins, Ratonhnhaké:ton convinced Achilles Davenport to train him. Adopting the more Western-sounding pseudonym of 'Connor,' he revitalized the Order by recruiting craftsmen to renovate the Davenport Homestead and the Assassin ship, the Aquila. Robert Faulkner subsequently trained him to captain the ship, while Ratonhnhaké:ton inducted six more Assassins into the Order.
During his hunt for the Templars, Ratonhnhaké:ton aided the Patriot movement and protected Washington, unwittingly becoming an essential figure of the American Revolution. However, he was conflicted by wanting to reconcile with his father, despite Achilles' warnings as to the futility of uniting the Assassin and Templar philosophies, which ultimately had tragic consequences as Haytham refused to stop protecting Lee.
Upon learning that it was Washington, not Lee, who had burned his village, Ratonhnhaké:ton became disillusioned with the Revolutionaries, but continued using them to aid in the eradication of the Templars, eventually managing to kill Lee, though it was all for naught as his village had already been abandoned by then. He reluctantly accepted Washington's request for help investigating Benedict Arnold and then in disposing of an Apple of Eden he had recovered. The latter incident saw Ratonhnhaké:ton trapped in an alternate reality constructed by the Apple, one wherein Washington ruled as king through tyranny. Eventually, Ratonhnhaké:ton escaped this reality and disposed of the Apple.
Following Achilles' death, Ratonhnhaké:ton went on to rebuild and lead the Colonial Assassins in the newly formed United States of America. In this capacity, he expanded the Assassin network in the New World and reconnected many previously detached Brotherhoods across the region.

Gains access to the Red Willow Tea (This grants him a myriad of animal-based powers)
Intelligence: Gifted. Having been raised in Kanatahséton, Connor became a skilled free runner at an early age, being able to climb trees and swing from one to another, as well as scale cliff faces or other natural elements. He could move through the cityscape just as easily and be able to slide under or vault over obstacles within urban environments.
During his youth, Connor had received minimal combat training from the Kanien'kehá:ka, becoming a young warrior of the tribe. He wielded a tomahawk and dagger; also, he honed his skill with a bow to the point where he could target any opponent and strike from a far distance. Yet, he was still capable of holding his own against entire garrisons of enemies with significantly higher combat experience than him.
After being mentored by Achilles, Connor's abilities increased significantly, and he eventually became a Master Assassin, trained in the ways of stealth, swordsmanship, observation, pickpocketing, and lock-picking. He was able to wield several different weapons, including a tomahawk, bow, sword, dagger, flintlock pistols, poison darts, rope darts, and Hidden Blades. He could dual-wield various combinations of these weapons, with his ambidexterity helping him to do so proficiently. In terms of weaponry, Connor possessed the Pivot Blade which became a deadly tool in his arsenal as it aided him in combat as well as hunting
Connor was also skilled in unarmed combat, being able to overpower multiple opponents at a time. If there was a possibility, he utilized the surrounding objects to his advantage, such as chairs, tables, or barrels, to cripple his opponents. His heavy build gave him an edge in combat but impeded his free-running abilities, albeit by a negligible amount. He was so fast that he could easily dodge musket fire. Also, his bulky build allowed him to overpower and kill multiple enemies in mere seconds without hesitation. He could kick hard enough to even send enemies twice his size, flying several meters into the air. As a child, he was significantly strong enough to lift a log all by himself when he ran to save his mother. Like his father, he could easily tear apart metal locks with a single punch. Also, Connor was a capable swimmer, able to swim great distances with relative ease.
Connor also grew to be an efficient hunter, utilizing his tracking skills and traps to hunt down various animals he encountered across the Frontier, such as elks, cougars, wolves, bobcats, and bears, with minimal effort. Connor was strong enough to go head-to-head with bears and elks head-on and even push them back with his bare hands. Additionally, Connor possessed the rare extra-sensory ability known as Eagle Vision, which he could use to help identify clues and track down enemies.
Tutored by Robert Faulkner, Connor became a skilled captain, sailing the Aquila on multiple occasions and was capable of fending off rogue waves. During these voyages, Connor recovered a Shard of Eden buried by William Kidd on Oak Island, which granted him immunity to stray gunfire.
Connor was a skilled leader and battle commander, winning many critical battles for the colonial army. Robert Faulkner mentioned Connor was a fast learner, and he was able to add many skills to his repertoire. While at times brash or impulsive, Connor was quite intelligent, learning many languages and was a skilled military strategist. Connor understood politics and made efforts to improve conditions for his people with the colonists. He also made the homestead a thriving trade community.
Weaknesses: Standard human weaknesses, but has survived situations which would instantly kill peak-level human beings. Incredibly stubborn. Was initially quite naive due to having little knowledge of politics, which ultimately resulted in the American Revolutionary War and his people deserting their homeland. Will put himself in harm's way to protect innocents, his loved ones, and his people. Will stop at nothing to achieve his goals and refuses to back down no matter the situation or his well-being. Often stubborn and arrogant. His Ring of Eden's magnetism manipulation has a habit of usually not working correctly if he has his guard down or is overwhelmed by several enemies at once. Lacks the amount of combat experience compared to the rest of his fellow protagonists in the series. | Constantly using his animal powers damages him, forcing him to fully heal to use them again. His invisibility deactivates if he enters High Profile mode or engages in open combat. Drinking the Red Willow Tea sends him into violent fits of severe vomiting of blood, and it sends him into hallucinatory journeys that threaten his sanity, though he was ultimately able to overcome them through sheer will. The Apple of Eden can temporarily disrupt his powers if detected by its radars.

*Even after being shot by mortars during the invasion of Fort George and being grievously wounded, he was still capable of withstanding another cannon shot that obliterated a gigantic portion of a wooden house. Moments later, he was back on his feet and eventually started going toe-to-toe with Haytham, who is superior to him, and moments after the fight, they brushed off another mortar shotAssassin's Creed III (2012)- Lee's Last Stand
Note: Mohawk names are usually considered to be unique, so instead of using his real name of Ratonhnhaké:ton, it is more advisable to use his colloquial name of Connor for better understanding and pronunciations.
