This saw the maid's master Caroline Scott intervening where she helped Edward Kenway from getting in further trouble for the incident. Upon seeing her, Edward had fallen in love with Caroline and wanted to meet her again but she refused to this being a breach of social etiquette as she was of a high class family compared to the Kenways. Thus, her father would not approve of her meeting someone of Edward's standing and also because Caroline promised to Matthew Hague who was the son of an East India Company executive.
Overview
Personality and traits
In appearance, Edward Kenway was a twenty-two-year-old human male of Welsh descent characterized by a tall, heavily muscled physical build, rugged facial features, blue eyes, and long, unkempt blond hair paired with a scruffy beard. In his base state navigating the initial naval battle at Cape Bonavista, he presented himself as a rugged privateer, dressing bare-chested under a worn leather vest, tattered linen trousers, and sturdy leather boots. His skin was heavily weathered and tanned from his prolonged lifestyle exposed to the tropical elements on the high seas. Following his skirmish in the jungle, his appearance radically shifted when he deliberately stripped a fallen combatant to steal his uniform. He donned a highly specialized, form-fitting set of dark blue and white robes adorned with silver trimmings, leather straps, and an imposing, deep pointed hood that partially obscured his eyes. He wore a wide leather utility belt fitted with multiple holsters across his torso to carry his weaponry, leaving his face entirely unmasked while operating under his stolen identity.
He had said that he wanted a decent life where one could eat without getting sick and no walls to hold him back.
Powers and abilities
Edward Kenway was a born member of the human race who possessed an exceptional tier of peak-human physical conditioning, structural coordination, and tactical spatial awareness. On a basic feats level, his rigorous lifestyle navigating the cutthroat privateer ecosystem afforded him a degree of upper-body strength, stamina, and swimming endurance that allowed him to survive a catastrophic ship explosion and swim long distances through heavy ocean currents without sustaining internal trauma. His primary individual capacity on the page manifested through his mastery over dual-wielding swordsmanship and advanced parkour navigation, enabling him to rapidly scale sheer rock faces, sprint across thin tree canopies, and effortlessly outmaneuver highly trained military soldiers. Furthermore, Edward Kenway possessed advanced maritime navigation skills and heavy artillery marksmanship, allowing him to take command of standard naval steering mechanisms and accurately direct complex cannon volleys into enemy hulls under extreme atmospheric pressure.
As a descendant of the Assassin's, Kenway possessed the extra-sensory ability known as Eagle Vision that he came to hone as an adult.
