Profile

Edward was born in Swansea, Wales, to Bernard Kenway and Linette Hopkins; at the age of ten, his family relocated to a farm in Bristol, in South West England. At the age of seventeen, Edward met Caroline Scott, a woman two years his senior who intervened on his behalf during an altercation outside a tavern. They married within a year, and then the trouble really began, as Edward had... hm.... issues with keeping a mere farm labourer's job under the thumb of a harsh taskmaster when the opportunity for gaining real wealth and station could be had at sea.

Ultimately, Edward's grandiose ideas about sailing as a privateer in the West Indies led to their estrangement, and she left to live with her parents prior to his departure. He signed on with Benjamin Hornigold's crew as a privateer in 1712, so quite naturally the Treaty of Utrecht brought the wars between Spain and France and England to a close the very next year, because isn't that always the way?

Well, when you can't be a legitimate privateer any more, there's always piracy...


Edward Kenway is from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, and is the property of Ubisoft and everybody else involved in the game's making and distribution. This journal is intended for roleplaying purposes only and no money is being made from anything to do with it. Probably rather the opposite, in fact.
