Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Who is Edward Kenway?

Hey Internet! This is actually my first post to cover the same video game as a previous one. I am again going to cover AC4: Black Flag (Assassin's Creed IV.) Today, I will discuss who exactly the main character is. For years, the Assassin's Creed series has been focused around one, legendary assassin: Ezio Auditore living in Renaissance Italy. However, last year, Ubisoft made a revolutionary milestone when they jumped forward a few hundred years to Colonial America during the American Revolution and introduced a new protagonist: Connor Kenway, a Native-American  assassin who strives for justice in the English colonies around New York and Boston. This year, Ubisoft is again changing characters but not so drastically. The newest assassin is Edward Kenway and based off of his name, you should be able to tell he's related to Connor from AC3. back in time before it's predecessor game. However, he's not his son. Edward Kenway is actually the grandfather of Connor and  lives in the Caribbean a few decades before the countries revolution...and he's a pirate! Edward Kenway was originally in the British Royal Navy and  was stationed in the West Indies. However, Britain's war with Spain ended and hearing stories of gold and fame pulled Kenway into a life of piracy. This is said to be where the game picks up, after Kenway is already a pirate. Kenway is pretty much the typical stereotypical pirate you might imagine. He is selfish, deadly, and bends his knee to no nation. However, an interesting personal struggle emerges within Kenway. He is contacted by and asked to join the Assassins, the only problem is that to be an assassin, one has to be selfless...something a pirate is not. This causes Kenway to have a strong personal struggle but also causes him to have no loyalty to the Assassins. He joins them only for their knowledge, combat techniques, and their treasure. If this isn't bad enough, it's said that he will even at times be persuaded to work with the templars! Of course, the Assassins wouldn't stand for this and the developers have said that this whole ordeal will be a big part of the game's story-line and so not much more has been said about it. That's all I have for today, but thanks for reading!
