- Haytham Kenway has been an AC fan favourite ever since his debut in Assassin's Creed 3, and with his story being spread across that game as well as Assassin's Creed Rogue and Assassin's Creed Forsaken I've decided to piece his life together into one conscise (hopefully)video.
Be sure to subscribe to the channel for news and speculation on Assassin's Creed Valhalla as well as general AC!

I know contents been a bit sparse the last few days and some of you might've been expecting some Valhalla stuff but I've decided to wait. It's been a bit awkward having this week between the reveal and the gameplay trailer as I really want to make content, but it'd be outdated within days so I've decided to do some after the gameplay comes out.
Why is Edward a master Assassin??? Hes a pirate hes not really a Assassin and you tell me he is a master Assassin
I've currently reading the AC Unity book and there seems to be an inconsistency between what is described in the book and what you mention here. In the book it is stated by Jessica Scott (Haytham's older sister) that Lucio Albertine was killed by templars after Haytham had died and in the games it was Haytham who killed Lucio. Are the books or the games considered "canon" in this case?

I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!

@Nelson Princeton I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I really like how Haytham is pretty much the only "good" Templar that we ever see. AC3 and AC Rogue really show that there are good and bad people on both sides, and that it's not as simple as "Assassins good, Templars bad."
Templars bad. Hidden ones good
Torres was a charitable man.
Robert de Sable wasn’t a bad man either.
It’s important to remember for every Templar killing an innocent. There is an Assassin doing the same
Or are we pretending Ezio didn’t kill a lot of people on Cappadocia? That Hope wasn’t poisoning people. Or that the Assassins support the Ottomans’ conquest (this is why Vali Cel Tradat left the assassins; his own brotherhood support his people being killed and conquered.
Shay is the actual good templar, haythem is still kinda good but he goes overboard sometimes
What about Shay?
@@Marquis-Sade Shay Blindly joined the opposing side without thought simply because he was angry at his mentor. I wouldn't really call that "Good".
One of the greatest Templar Master in the Assassin's Creed series...
Shahkulu:- I'm I joke to you
your contents are godammn worth!
keep going buddy
So Haytham was the Anakin Skywalker of the Templars awesome
Shay didn't kill Liam. He died from the fall.
Torbjørn Frisch Moe he was still responsible for chasing Liam and fighting him. He might as well have killed him.
And if he didn’t fall? He would’ve died either way
I'm really glad I'm not the only one who thinks Haytham deserved better
Lovely stuff, but didn't Haytham learn that Ziio had died from Connor during their hunt for Benjamin Church?
I thought achilles saved connor from the hanging cutting the rope with a tomahawk.... not hatham
Haytham is so tragic!
Haytham is like itachi in assassins creed
I still dont understand why he was a Templar even tho his father was an assassin
Batman's Dad 😆
Hoitham
"'Ayfum Kinway"
Walshie for some reason that’s the way the guy pronounces haytham in the forsaken audio book on TH-cam
damn, the rooks really do be reading forsaken doe 😳
Walshie I see what your saying,Jack
Mate on a real one how do you know my name 😂
0:20 well thats my birthdate too
Does anyone know whether or not Haythams sister ever meets Connor?
It was tragic that Haytham was abducted into the Templar order. He lost his father, his mother, his sister, he killed his former friend braddock, and his wife left him-dying in a fire, their son eventually killed Haytham himself despite the fact that they both were reaching middle ground were it not for Charles lee. To be honest, Braddock was right about Haytham. He died arrogant of the life he was living. But what pains me is that Haytham knew he was going to die. That fight between him and Connor was meaningless but had meaning to the story.
In Assassin's creed rogue one of the war letter's says that if Braddock was the one that attacked the kenway mansion he would have killed Haytham along with Edward
Haytham Kenway is my favourite Assassin’s Creed character
Why
@@atul7115 I think that he is badass, a great charismatic speaker and an overall interesting character. Voice acting for him is good too and he really makes people question whether the Assassins are on the right side.
@@jackwilliamsmith8734 i hate this guy because he didnt became like his father and became a templaer
@@atul7115 That's an odd reason to hate the guy
@@atul7115 You obviously didn’t read the book. He was taken into the care of a templar to only be manipulated to become one
AC3 was about Connor.. AC4 was about Edward.... They should have made AC rogue AC5 and made it about Haytham... If must have read AC forsaken 5 times and everytime I imagine what great of a game that would have been!
"Oi, where you going, cully?"
"...Me?"
"No, the otha cock-robin"
"Well I um, I *was* leaving"
"Oh? an now...?"
"Now...I'm going to feed you your teeth"
No. They should make a game where Edward is the main character and how he became an assassin.
@@stefanmilenkovic4715 they did
@@stefanmilenkovic4715 hmm that's a great idea, I wonder how they didn't ever think of that lmao
@@AlexP4563 maybe he didn't play ac4 haha 🤣
Haytham lets connor kills him.
My mind cannot be changed.
The man knows about the blade, the assassin, and the techniques. He also seemed to have the experience. Its seems too unlikely that he just messed up when he got the upperhand. Besides, he could've just kill connor there without strangling him if he wanted to.
Haytham journal basically said he wanted Connor to have his journal before he went off to fight him. That basically confirms Haytham let Connor win
I won't go overboard and say that Haythem lets Connor kills him. Between his son and Templar mission obviously he still lean toward the Templar cause. He just can't be determined to kill his son, on the other hand Connor is always ready to kill his father.
Agree an experienced templar knows assassins wear hidden blades haythem left his neck exposed he couldnt bring himself to kill connor so he sacrificed himself for his son
@@khoitranhuy3544 haytham loved his son just as much as the order. He couldn't pick one over the other so he let Connor kill him in a way that wasn't betrayed the order
He also had his hands on Connors throat. If he had wanted to he could've used his hidden blade on him right then and there.
I have finished Forsaken 3 days ago and I really want to see a full game dedicated to Haytham. There is a little possibility, but I still hope.
On God
As much as I love Haytham, and I really do love the guy. I think he's the best part of AC3. But, oftentimes I can't help but think that Haytham had to have been hit on the head a lot of times. No sound person would willingly stay with the order that killed their father, and sold off their sister. If anything, it should have been enough reason for him to fuck off along with his sister and live better lives together.
True, that's another reason why i think the writers of that story suck. The other reason being EDWARD getting killed by 4 thugs not even a templar master.
Haytham is like Itachi of AC universe. His backstory make us fall in love with the character
Such an accurate comment. Hopefully we'll see a Haytham game someday, but I highly doubt it considering how such a shitty company ubisoft is and also that the AC franchise has dramatically changed from what it used to be, so it's unlikely they'll turn back.
@@mkaterr yeah like they adding rpg contents in ac, doesn't make sense anymore glowing swords and such, ac is gone to shit after syndicate in my opinion
other than that yeah we could use a Assassins creed forsaken movie or even a game
Don't disrespect Haytham like that; Itachi was a black hole sue and the bane of anyone who actually cares about writing good characters.
" at the last minute, he threw a throwing knife at the rope, saving his life" 8:02. Really? I didn't know that, because i thought it was Achilles or one of Connor's assassins, but Haythem, saving him???
I know
Well,at that time, Haytham didn't know anything about Connor, except that he was his son, and an assassin, so he probably thought he could convince Connor of the flaws of the Assassins' ideology, and convert him to a templar
Honestly think that Haytham should have been the focus of AC3, not Connor, telling not only the story of the Colonial Assassins, but also the Templars of the time (better than rogue). We honestly should have seen more from him than what was in the game and Forsaken, which had a limited audience.
I agree! Playing AC3 it feels like Corey May had more passion for Haytham than he did for Connor. I know it wouldn't happen but a game travelling the world as Haytham from birth to death would be incredible and the ultimate Templar game!
Better yet, he could’ve been the protagonist of Rogue. Then the America’s trilogy would’ve truly been the story of three generations of Kenways.
@@WalshieYT1 facts!
Nah Connor was just too perfect a character. They simply should have had a more back and forth gameplay dynamic switching between the two maybe
No Connor is good as the protagonist for ac3 I think Haytham should have been the protagonist of rogue instead of Shay
"Oi, where you going, cully?"
"...Me?"
"No, the otha cock-robin"
"Well I um, I *was* leaving"
"Oh? an now...?"
"Now...I'm going to feed you your teeth"
I feel like Rogue should have been about Haytham
It definitely should have been. The book AC Forsaken should have been the plot of Rogue. It should have showed us how Haytham struggled between his father's legacy and the order he was brainwashed into joining.
Imagine a trilogy for haytham from birth to death!
Yeah... Kinda annoying how they waste that oppertunity, like they made a whole series of ezio from birth to death... Its also a shame we dont play as templars anymore, rogue was the only exception and i loved that game because it opens you're eyes to what the Templars truly belive.
How about a collection of The colonial brotherhood 'The colonial brotherhood collection
With Ac 3,4 rogue liberation freedom cry a game with haytham kenway as protagonist The start of Ac unity and The edward kenway house mission in Ac syndicate
Achilles: I used to be an Assassin like you, until i took a bullet to the knee
This is an excellent video. Informative, entertaining, and a good length. I'd love to see more lore type videos like this one. Here's to 2k. Or 5k? 👀
Good to hear mate, as I much prefer making these to speculation! I reckon I might go for 5K by the end of the year, even if that's a bit much👀
Whattt thee fuckkkkk!!!!! Haytham saved Connor!!???? The fuck man!! Never knew this. We need more videos like this Walshie!!!
His saw his father dead in front of his eyes he couldn't do the same with conor
i one million percent recommending assassin's creed: forsaken! the whole book is from the point of view of haytham. it shows his childhood and how he saved his sister all that jazz
Although I've yet to read Assassin's Creed Forsaken, this really helps me to remember the more obscured events of Haytham's life, so thank you from one Assassin's Creed fan to another.
Also, it was 1756 I believe when Haytham inducted Charles Lee into the Templar Order, not 1774 as you said in the middle of the video.
Are you going to stream the gameplay demo?
Yeah! I've got two days to figure out streamlabs this time so it shouldn't be as disastrous as the trailer stream 😂
Its kinda hard to understand you. You talk too fast and swallow the sentences. But good video tho!
Haytham is like the equivalent of ezio( as in being the best character in the Templar side)
Haytham is one of my favourite characters in Assassins Creed. His father and son are assassins but he chooses to become a Templar. I wish we got to see a Haytham game. His story is very sad and his philosophy is very interesting and he is my favourite Templar he isn’t cartoonishly evil like Rodrigo Borgia Cesare Borgia or Germain. He is a great anti hero. You can see the nobility in him saving the natives and saving his son Connor even though he was a threat to the Templar order. But he also has a dark side wanting to kill Achilles and killing enemies even though Connor wanted to spare him. The moment where Haytham says he’s proud of Connor before dying made me shed a tear.
Doing something on valhalla soon?
I am! The only reason I've been holding out recently is that we've been at an awkward midpoint between the games reveal and the gameplay trailer on Thursday. I feel it'd be better to start making those videos when we know more, rather than doing some now and having them proven wrong/obsolete within the week, I'll be more than happy to oblige after those trailers!
Haytham killed an austrian prince? Very interessting! I am from Austria. Would love to know more about my country in the AC universe! Maybe you could do a video about it? Or about every country in the AC universe? Would be great
I wonder what Edward's reaction to Haytham being a Templar would be?
Probably wouldn't care much, Edward didn't really care for the order that much. Its not like Edward taught Haytham the ideology of the Assasins, he only taught him how to fight like one.
@@reposter6434 edward was going to introduce him to the assassin's but he was killed before it happened
Haytham Kenway: A good Templar, and a bad Father
Wow this is not boring at all , Nathan has always been one of my favourite characters in ac , such a complex dude even when he finds out who and what his father was still held true to his beliefs even if he’s on the wrong side
His ruthlessness and his fighting skills is just like those of his father edward and his dark sense of humor makes him look like he's edward but more darker in nature and more psychopathic
As much as I love Shay, Rogue should have been a Haytham game.
Good bid but hard to understand sometimes due to mumbling.... still gave it a thumbs up though 😁
If you play ac4 before ac3 you will understand the story much better
Haytham was way better than his son
Did you know that Eivor has something that looks like a rope dart? I saw it at 3:01 and 3:13 (watch at 0.25 speed) in the cinematic trailer th-cam.com/video/rKjUAWlbTJk/w-d-xo.html
Damn that's a good spot! It definitely could be a rope dart or maybe even a tool for climbing steep places?
@@WalshieYT1 I really hope it's a rope dart!
It might be similar to the grappling hook from Uncharted 4.
I wish we could of played as haythem in rogue instead of shay we would of had 3 games of the kenway family
Although haythem is a temple but he still love his son and saving him from the hanging
Edward:my son is gonna be a good assassin like me
Haytham:”becomes a templar”
Edward:😑😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Wait Haytham threw the knife to save Connor from being hanged!? 😱
I always thought it was someone else. Man Connor really is an a$$, not only did he kill a man that saved his life (and personally the best character in the game) but he “regrets” killing his father later on. 🙁😭
I really hope Ubisoft makes a game just about Haytham’s life, with Adrian Hough as his voice, like the comment if you agree.
This dumb comment is a rollercoaster lmao
AC Rogue should have been about him Haytham's life story.
@@loneaquila I do agree but I did enjoy playing as Shay 🙂, I think Haytham deserves his own game, he has a perfect story for a game. 🥺
Haytham would have been better off as an assassin
A side to the Templars that isn’t necessarily evil.
He is my main character in second file in assassin creed. I slayed British troops a lot
I always wondered how and why did Edward name is son Haytham ? a clear arabic name ?
Wow this is actually pretty accurate 👍
I love Haytham. Flawed, yes. But well written
Anyone else always get slightly disappointed and sad knowing that the badass Edward Kenway gets killed in a home invasion...not the most satisfying way
Haytham's mother dose not make any sense to me, Haytham was training with the sword under his father meaning one day he was gonna use those skills to kill other weather that was for good or evil. He saved her life an she like "oh YoUr a KiLlEr nOt My SoN" like wtf that makes no sense at all!
Haytham was the only Templar I felt sorry when I killed him
Wish we could keep going with kenway a bit more...
I am a templar, may the father of understanding guide us.
There must be a game based on haythem's life.
They should make an assassins creed game on haythams childhood and how he became a Templar
Haytham kenway is the greatest templar of all time
Haytham: I.... am your Father.
Connor: Nooooooooooo
Will you live stream the live gameplay of ac valhalla?
Yep! The trailer reaction last time was a bit disastrous but I'm gonna make sure streamlabs is sorted in the next two days.
Haytham is Jamaican
What Assassin's Creed Forsaken DIDN'T TELL YOU (SHOCKING ANCESTRY REVEAL)
He could've actually killed Connor, but haythem let connor kill him.
I’m Haithum. He’s lying i was born in 1993
I wonder if an Assassins Creed game will take place in the 1800’s and no it better not be in the Wild West!
Ac syndicate....
That's Syndicate for you. Lol.
what I don't understand is why Lee and the rest of templar under Haytham act like a complete assholes when saving the native is one of their goal. they want to gain the native trust by beating one of their child, insulting their way of life and on top of that burning their village?? really? please don't tell me its not one of those lazy way to make things more dramatic because its just make no sense.
Me, who finds this video after reading Adsassin's Creed Forsaken: 👁 👄 👁
So was haythem part of the assassins and then converted to templars? Is so when got kinda confused watching
What did Houston and Shane never fight when they had opportunity to scrap one another what did he hate then hold his hand back from Shane?
He was my one of my favorite
Sorry sir but I couldn't underatand 90% of what youre saying.
Haytham was the meat of this story i was actually disappointed they chose to kill him earlier than i wanted.
This is a good sum up of the book if you don't want read it gives a bit more insight in the character
If it weren’t for those sour grapes the poor guy tasted he would have been an Assassin
Great breakdown of Haytham Kenway!!
It was a very good and easy to understand video about Haythams story. Many thanks!
U deserve more subscribers mate, btw quite great documentary
What became Jenifer scott the daugter of Edward ?
She lived to be very old, about 90 I think. After she moved back to London she cut everyone off, even Haytham as she didn't like that he remained a Templar after killing Birch. Weirdly she actually worked a bit with Elise to try and form a truce between the Assassins and Templars.
Walshie oh cool thanks so she is more close to the philosophie of her father. Did she met Connor ?
As for as lore with her goes there's no mention with Connor. It kind of seems like she hates both sides as they killed everyone she loved.
Walshie damn the story of the kenways is fucking tragic
@@WalshieYT1 Elise was after Haytham's letters right? If I remember correctly, the contents of those sort of show an attempt by Haytham to reconcile the Templar and Assassin philosophies.
Where do we get the history between the games?
A lot of this comes from the book "Forsaken" that follows Haytham, as well as Assassin's Creed Initiates.
@@WalshieYT1 Thanks
Rogue should’ve been about Haythem
They should have made Haytham a proper game.
Haytham kenway had class no other templar has
I think they should have made a game just on haytham
I have hug respect For Haytham
Hey walshie, I'd love to see a ranking of your favourite characters outfits. Great video.
You speak too damn fast!
Thank you good sir!
6:38 That’s one person by the way LOL
Wow, great video. Very good for connecting the dots.
Wait it was haytham that threw the throwing knife and saved Connor?
Fried Chicken
Yes
Who is miko
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
You should do more videos like this on other characters 👍
