Haytham E. Kenway (1725 – 1781) was the first Grand Master of the Templar Order's Colonial Rite, reigning from 1754 until his death in 1781, whereupon he was succeeded by Charles Lee.
Son of the Assassin Edward Kenway, Haytham was converted to the Templar cause at a young age by Reginald Birch, following his father's death in 1735.
After being sent to the British colonies in America to locate a suspected First Civilization storehouse, Haytham remained and established a permanent organized Templar presence in the colonies. Under his leadership, the Colonial Rite grew exponentially, almost completely destroying their Assassin counterparts, and manipulating the colonial governments at every level.
During this time, he unknowingly sired a son – Ratonhnhaké:ton (a.k.a Connor Kenway) – with Kaniehtí:io (a.k.a. Ziio), a Kanien'kehá:ka woman whom he had met during his initial quest for the storehouse. He is an ancestor to Desmond Miles, through the paternal line.

He is voiced by Adrian Hough, who recieved a BAFTA nomination for the role.
