I doubt it, but maybe.

Why make a story about the Protagonist`s Mentor -_-

Its his dad... NOPE... NOPE !!

Maybe it's both. Maybe Haytham trains Connor and Connor doesn't know that it's his dad til the very end?

It would be highly improbable. Besides, Altair urged the Assassins at Masyaf to spread out over the world, so the reason why Haytham had his first name could be dependant on him having Syrian roots.

Bravo chap, good find.

The revelation of Connor's last name would focus most fan's attention on the name. Imagine if it had never come to light that his surname was Kenway, and then we had stumbled upon this novel synopsis. No one would be any the wiser as to who Haytham could possibly be. There would be mystery and intrigue.

Aw, Poor Alex.

He's probably saying many "s" words in his head regretting this calamity ever took place!

Found this regarding the name Kenway. Could they be cooking up something related to King George??

This interesting surname of English origin is derived from the Middle English Kenewi, Old English Cynewig or Cenwig, composed of the elements "cyne" meaning "royal" or "cene" meaning "keen" or "bold" plus "wig" "war" hence "royal war" or "bold war". The surname dates back to the early 12th Century, (see below). Further recordings include one Ralph Kenewi (1221) "Charters and Rolls in the British Museum,, London". Variations in the idiom of the spelling include Kennaway, Kenneway, Kenaway, etc. One William Kenneway married Margaret Higgos at St. Dunstan, Stepney on June 5th 1601. One Joseph Kenway married Anne Berkett at St. James' Dukes Place, London on July 30th 1694, and David Kennoway married Elizabeth Power on May 12th 1715 at St. Dunstan, Stepney. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of William Chienewe, which was dated 1130, in the "Pipe Rolls of Hampshire", during the reign of King Henry 1, known as "The Lion of Justice", 1100 - 1135. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

A lot of things point to Haytham being the father, Alright I apologize for jumping to conclusions, but there you go..

First, Why dictate the story of the Protagonist`s Mentor ? I mean it has the Protagonist on the cover.. I think the Father suits better..
Second, Alex regrets revealing the name, so..
Third, Its never said that Connor doesn't know his father, so Perhaps he indeed knows him and thus adopts a western name along with his Father`s..
Fourth, they said his father was British and Lee is not technically British is he ? One smart fella will say "At the time, Everyone was British" No..
Fifth, Why adopt his Mentor`s name ? Why is the Mentor British ? how is he British ?

Haytham being Connor`s father fits way more, He seems the right Age.. He`s British and his life is detailed in the Novel, so..
Besides, Lee as his father was so damm cheesy.... "Connor I.... am your father" and then he has a twin.... "Connor I...... am your brother" it just cant work..

Lee was British, no technicalities. He was born in Cheshire, England in 1732.

That said, I like this Haytham fella for Connor's father better. He just seems to fit the bill better. Not sure why. And I might actually pick Forsaken up when it comes out now.

Lee was British, no technicalities. He was born in Cheshire, England in 1732.

I know that -_-

But then he became a Colonist Commander, that's the bit im playing on..
