The Untold Story of Richard James Kenway

Richard was born in Manchester's Franklin Memorial Hospital to Matthew Kristofer O'malley and Grace Kenway-Goltimbers in 1685. ==Childhood == Richard's childhood was spent learning the ways of the Assassin Brotherhood. From a young age, his mentor, Victor Birch tought him of the creed and the fighting techniques. When he was just eight years old, he became an official assassin. ==Teen Years == At the age of nine, Richard met a rich gypsy named Erin Perkins. She was notorious for the theft of swords from soldier encampments near the tents of her fellow gypsies, gaining her the nickname Sword Stealer. Richard took a liking to her for her rare beauty and raw attitude. They quickly became friends and worked together on many missions to fight Templars in the British Rite. ==Adulthood == As a young adult, Richard began to hate being named after his shameful father, changing his name from Matthew Richard O'malley to Richard James Kenway, after Grace's husband and his adoptive father, James Mathem Kenway. Richard ended up being recruited into an Templar militia, in 1711, known as the Black Palladins led by ex-knight, Matthew Wilvyne. Kenway served under Commander Peter Bluehawk of the Tortugan Palladins. During his service, he proposed to Erin Perkins, against the wishes of his family, and married her in 1714. Shortly after his marriage, he was excommunicated from the Palladins for a power struggle. When he caught Erin cheating on him, they divorced. After a brief period of depression, Kenway joined the EITC only to be discharged for his light ties to the Palladins. Kenway went on to marry Erin yet again and after 3 months of a solid marriage, Erin was forced to divorce Richard by decree of her lord, Nicholas Nikolai. Shortly after the loss of Erin, Richard met another fine woman, Grace Belle Wilde, in 1725. Grace demanded that they marry right away and they did. 6 months later, Richard was asked to be acting King of Switzerland while the Kroshbon family decided on a new leader. After they decided on a successor, Kenway stepped down and left the Swiss out of fear for his life, briefly going under numerous aliases. Richard went missing in early December 1745, only to turn back up around Christmas. In late February 1746, Richard rekindled his ties to the Assassin Brotherhood and began working to secure peace with the newly reformed Templars, led by Sir John Ragnar Glorbon. Kenway currently resides at the Antama Estate in Manchester, England. However, he is mostly found frequenting the Abassa district of London.
