1. Haytham Kenway – Assassin’s Creed III
Haytham Kenway, son of master assassin Edward Kenway, is a prominent figure in Templar history and a catalyst for many events. He’s an ancestor of Desmond Miles, and the father of Connor Kenway. After being converted to the Templar order at a young age, Haytham quickly rose through the ranks until he led the Colonial Rite. Under his leadership, the Templars in America flourished and gained a real foothold. Haytham is a constant in Connor’s quest for vengeance, and the two even end up working together at one point during Assassin’s Creed III. Ultimately, the differences in ideology and purpose couldn’t be overcome, however, and Connor puts an end to his father’s life. Haytham Kenway is an incredibly complex and multilayered character, and easily the most memorable villain of the entire series.
