Might be, might not be. I doubt it though. I think somebody with Adéwalé's skin colour would look somewhat out of place in revolutionary France. Then again, I'm not really an expert on the matter. To be honest, the skin colour of Arnaud looks a tad too light as well to be a descendant of Adéwalé. I think it's entirely possible for it to be another caucasian protagonist, and I would frankly prefer it. Not because I'm racist, but because a Frenchmen involved in the French Revolution simply makes more sense than an African American/Native American (for those hoping it's Connor).
