11 Edward Kenway is the protagonist of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. A Welsh privateer operating in the Caribbean during the early eighteenth century, Edward begins the story as a self-interested mercenary motivated more by wealth and adventure than ideology. Over the course of the game his encounters with the Assassin Brotherhood and the Templar Order reshape his values, and he earns the skills and convictions of a true Assassin.
