Assassin's Creed 3 is a work of great significance in the entire series. It opens up a new storyline - the love-hate entanglement of the three generations of the Kenwei family, and the subsequent black flag, rebellion, and even the plot of the Great Revolution are all related to it. There is a saying: The sneak master Connor Jiang, the father is kind and the son is filial and filial. Before tasting the taste of Ubisoft’s Master Kong fried rice, let’s review the plot of Assassin’s Creed 3 and the story of the three generations of the Kenwei family behind this.
The story of the three generations was set during the American Revolutionary War, and the protagonist was a young man named Raton Hajidun from an Indian tribe. After he joined the Assassin, his mentor named him Connor. Connor was a mixed-race descendant of American colonists and Indians, his mother was Indian and his father was Templar Master Helson Kenway. In the initial part of the third generation game, players experience the process of Helson floating across the ocean from England to building the Knights Templars in North America. Connor lived in the tribe with his mother since childhood. It was not until Connor's village was burned and his mother died. Connor found and joined the Assassin Organization under the guidance of Juno, the First Civilization. Connor then participated in the fight against the Templars as an assassin, among which his biggest enemy was the North American commander of the Templars, his father Helson. Connor then met Washington and devoted himself to the War of Independence. During this period, Connor also met his father Helson. The father and son both cooperated and disagree, and jointly promoted the process of the War of Independence. After the war, the father and son disagree with Charles Lee's attitude, and Helson praised Charles Lee very much, and Connor mistakenly believed that Lee was the culprit of burning Connor's village. Eventually, conflict broke out between the father and son, and Connor killed his father and continued to hunt down Charles Lee. Finally Connor killed Charles Lee in a tavern, and learned that the real murderer of the arson was actually Washington.
Connor's father Helson is a key figure and an important clue throughout the 3rd and 4th generations of rebellion and the novel "Assassin's Creed: Abandoned". Helson's father, Connor's grandfather, is the protagonist of the fourth generation game, Pirate Edward Kenway. Edward was born into a British peasant family. His first wife was Caroline, the daughter of a wealthy businessman who fell in love at first sight, and had a daughter, Jenny. In pursuit of wealth and status, Edward became a privateer of the Royal Navy. Later Edward gradually became a pirate, chasing wealth in the Caribbean Sea, and was involved in the assassin's struggle with the Templars. Finally, after experiencing a series of changes such as Blackbeard's death in battle and his friend's departure, Edward reflected on his behavior of pursuing fame and fortune, and chose to join the Assassin Organization. After more than a decade of wandering in the West Indies, Edward returned to England with Jenny, who came to find his daughter, and settled in London.
After returning to the UK, his first wife, Caroline, died of smallpox. Edward married his second wife, Tesha, and gave birth to his son Helson. BoChiben met the Kenway family, but Edward's daughter Jenny discovered his Templar identity and refused his courtship, so Birch held a grudge. Later, in order to steal Edward's diary, Birch hired the murderer to break into Kenway's house and kill Edward and kidnapped Jenny. Birch then appeared and killed the assailant and took Helson away. Birch blamed everything on the servants of the Kenway family and lied to Helson that his father Edward was also a member of the Templars. In the end, Helson became the Templar under the training of Birch.
Helson was sent to the American colony when he grew up, and found five other Templars in the colony Heelson and formed the North American Templars. In order to learn the location of the First Civilization site, Helson rescued and met Kanezio, Connor's mother. The two found the site together and tried to open the temple gate, but failed in the end. A few years later, Helson found and rescued his kidnapped sister Jenny in the Middle East. From Jenny, Helson learned that the real murderer who caused her family tragedy was Birch. Later, Helson and Jenny killed Birch together and successfully avenged his father. But the truth came too late. At this time, Helson was already the leader of the Knights Templars of North America. Although he knew that he had mistakenly entered the Knights Templars, he still chose to continue this path.
While Helson established the Knights Templar, the rebellious protagonist Shay Comack chose to leave because of his doubts about the assassin's concept, and was chased by the assassin organization. Later, under the influence of Colonel Monroe, Shay joined the Templars, and Helson held an entry ceremony for him. Helson and Shea then chased the assassin organization in America. Helson and Shea worked together to kill his father Edward's former adjutant, Advale, who also expressed dissatisfaction with Helson becoming the Templar during the fight. Then the two went to the North Pole to stop the assassin organization. The two in the Arctic killed Liam, the leader of the Assassin Group, and regained his manuscript. Helson also defeated the assassin Achilles, who later Connor's mentor. Helson wanted to kill Achilles, but under Shea's persuasion, he only interrupted Achilles's leg.
A years later, Achilles trained Helson's son Connor into an assassin, just as Birch trained Helson into a Templar. After working together, Helson and Connor became enemies again, and Helson eventually died under Connor's men. In his later years, Shay went to France to hunt down the assassin Chard Dorian, the father of the protagonist of the Great Revolution, and opened the prelude to another story.
Looking back, the story of the three generations of the Kenway family is undoubtedly a tragedy. Three generations went from assassins to Templars, and finally became assassins. Edward's first half of his life was magnificent. After returning to Britain, he was committed to studying the First Civilization and eventually died by protecting his family. He has been training his son to be an assassin, but after his death, Helson was trained to become a Templar and accepted the Templar philosophy. Even after Helson avenged his father, he did not choose to leave the Templars. He already recognized his Templars.share. In the battle between Helson and Advale, Helson showed no mercy to his father's men, and while Advale scolded Helson, he also never forgot to safeguard Edward's dignity.
Helson also has complex feelings for Connor. Like Helson, Connor was also trained and raised in a camp that opposed his father since childhood. Connor and Helson had irreconcilable contradictions in concept. But on the other hand, as his father, Helson, really cares about Connor. In the novel "Assassin's Creed: Abandonment", whether it is the final suicide note or the record of Helson saving Connor from the gallows in the diary, it shows Helson's deep feelings for his son as an ordinary father. The concepts are opposed, but family affection is eternal. This contradiction has been throughout the lives of the three generations of the Kenwei family. The stories of these three generations are not only a tragedy of the Kenway family, but also a tragedy of the Assassin Organization and the Templars.
