David Mark Morrissey (born 21 June 1964) is an English actor and director. Morrissey grew up in the Kensington and Knotty Ash areas of Liverpool. He learned to act at the Everyman Youth Theatre, alongside Ian Hart, Mark and Stephen McGann, and Cathy Tyson. At the age of 18, he and Hart were cast in the television series One Summer (1983), which won them recognition throughout the country. After making One Summer, Morrissey attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art before acting with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. Throughout the 1990s, he often portrayed policemen and soldiers, though took other defining roles such as Bradley Headstone in Our Mutual Friend (1998) and Christopher Finzi in Hilary and Jackie (1998). More film parts followed, including roles in Some Voices (2000) and Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001), before he played the critically acclaimed roles of Stephen Collins in State of Play (2003) and Gordon Brown in The Deal (2003). The former won him a nomination at the British Academy Television Awards and the latter a Best Actor award at the Royal Television Society Awards. His film roles have not always been acclaimed; his appearance as the male lead in Basic Instinct 2 (2006) was widely criticised, and The Reaping (2007) bombed at the box office. Since then, he has had leading roles in Sense and Sensibility (2008), Red Riding (2009) and Five Days (2010), acted in the films Nowhere Boy (2009) and Centurion (2010), and produced and starred in the crime drama Thorne (2010).

After partially activating the temple, Juno begins to communicate with Desmond. Desmond is placed in the Animus, where Juno's influence causes him to experience the life of his ancestor, Haytham Kenway.The perspective then shifts to the childhood years of Ratonhnhaké:ton, Haytham and Ziio's son. In 1760, his mother dies during an attack on his village, which Ratonhnhaké:ton assumes was led by Lee. Years later, the village elder informs Ratonhnhaké:ton that it is their tribe's duty to prevent the Temple's discovery, and gives him a Sphere which allows Juno to communicate with him. She leads Ratonhnhaké:ton to retired Assassin Achilles Davenport, whose brotherhood collapsed years ago, and he reluctantly agrees to train him. After completing his training, Achilles suggests Ratonhnhaké:ton rename himself "Connor" to move more freely throughout the Colonies.
