Haytham Kenway is a Templar who came to the American colonies in 1754. From what we've learned, Kenway was sent here by Grand Master Reginald Birch, with a dual mission: establish his own Templar group to rival the colonial Assassins - and searching for clues about artifacts related to the First Civilization. And when a Grand Master tells you to do something, you do it. Even if it's just a Chess Grand Master. In any case, I don't like this guy. Sorry to use such strong words.
