Storyline

In 1754, British Templar Haytham Kenway travels to the American colonies to locate an ancient temple for his Order. He recruits allies and falls in love with a Mohawk woman named Kaniehti:io while eliminating a rogue associate. Years later, their son Ratonhnhaké:ton witnesses his mother's death during an attack on their village and grows up to become the Assassin known as Connor, trained by the retired Assassin Achilles Davenport. Connor is drawn into the American Revolution as he hunts down the Colonial Templars, who include his own father. Over the course of two decades, Connor eliminates Haytham's allies, uncovers that his mother's death was ordered by George Washington rather than the Templars, and is eventually forced to confront and kill Haytham himself. In the modern day, Desmond Miles uses Connor's memories to locate a key that opens the inner chambers of a precursor temple, ultimately sacrificing himself to activate a device that protects Earth from a catastrophic solar flare.
