Edward Kenway is a young, brash Welshman born to an English Father and Welsh mother. He is charismatic and clever, but has a recklessness that borders on pathological. He is generally kind, but naturally selfish, and has a habit of valuing his own ludicrous ideas long before he will consider sensible or rational approaches to any problem. And he enjoys his drink, much to the detriment of his vital organs.

By the time Edward was in his early teens his family had moved to Bristol in the south West of England where he eventually met and married a woman two years his senior, the lovely and stable Caroline Scott. By all accounts the marriage was a lively one, but Caroline soon grew tired of Edward’s inability to find steady work or take his responsibilities as a husband seriously. But it was Edward’s grandiose ideas about sailing as a privateer in the West Indies and earning a fortune in gold that eventually disrupted what should otherwise have been a happy marriage.

Caroline eventually left Edward to return to her family’s modest home, leaving Edward alone with his bitter ambitions. But — much to everyone’s surprise – made good on this one promise. In late 1712, he boarded a ship and set sail for Jamaica to sail with renowned privateer, Benjamin Hornigold. And here he would remain for six months, until history threw Edward and his company another complication: Peace broke out.

In 1713, the treaty of Utrecht effectively ended all conflict between the major empires. British Privateers were no longer needed or indeed tolerated in the West Indies, causing thousands of previously active sailors to find themselves out of work. Not the most ideal situation for these young and restless men … for as the old saying goes, “Idle hands are the Devil’s workshop…” And indeed, in the following years, Edward, and so many of his bretheren would find the Devil’s work far more attractive than their King’s…

By 1715, Edward has already been a sailor for 2 years, an experience that has given him a taste for all the dangers and excitements to be found at sea. He can reef a sail, weigh an anchor, and swab a deck as any average sailor must. He has also developed extraordinary sense of balance and talent for climbing, even under the harshest conditions – “every finger’s a fishhook” as sailors of old were known to say. --ACsenior (talk) 13:22, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

What is the story of Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag? Where does it take place?

ACIVBF tells the story of Edward Kenway, a young British man that left the navy to embrace piracy during the final decade of the Golden Age of Piracy in the West Indies (now known as the Caribbean).

Edward will be thrown in the middle of the ancient war between Templars and Assassins. He will be trained by them and finally become the first Kenway member of the Assassin Order. He’s the father of Haytham, Connor is therefore Edward’s grandson

Nationality
To head off any edit-wars over Edward's nationality. On the assumption that Edward was born before 1707 (which is highly likely, in my opinion), Edward would have technically been born in England (Wales was a principality and legally a part of the Kingdom of England up until the Act of Union 1707), but upon the Act coming into force his nationality would have changed to 'British'. As the game is set after the Act, I propose (and recommend) that we keep him labelled as British and avoid any arguments that might stem from his parentage. -- 13:35, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Skills and veapons
Source official AC4:BF Q&A

Stealth wise, Edward’s brash behaviour gives him new ingredients to play with. Using people’s homes (hiding doors) to evade patrols, hiring prostitutes to distract guards and getting drunk pirates to do some dirty fighting for him.

Edward’s main arsenals are the dual swords and multi-pistols. The multi-pistols are a tool that can be combined with any other weapon to have insane kill counts. Besides this Edward also gets a blowpipe with multiple effect darts, the double hidden blades (AC classic) and is able to use all the weapons enemies carry (Rifles, single sword, knives and Heavy Axe). The Rope Dart will also make a return.--ACsenior (talk) 13:39, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

YOB
Edward's YOB is no longer unknown. He is described as being 22 years old in 1715, so that would mean he was born in 1693 (maybe 1692 if his birthday was late). If one wants to play it safe, we could say circa 1693.Darth Something (talk) 14:14, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Grand Master of Templars?
Really? Where did this info come from? Xeoxer (talk) 19:36, March 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * That refers to his son, Haytham. The commas are supposed to be parentheses, but I understand your confusion. -- 19:39, March 6, 2013 (UTC)

Dude? Did you read it properly? 19:38, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * The commmas were most certainly not meant to be parenthesis; the parenthesis is an abomination against grammar and have no place in an articles introduction. That said, a hyphen would probably have been clearer. -- 09:41, March 7, 2013 (UTC)
 * Jasca, I put the commas there, so I know what it was supposed to mean. But, regardless, it was a misjudgment to put them there, I accept that.  17:43, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
