In Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag Pirates Dominate the Seas (1715 - 1722 AD)

2013's Black Flag was a departure for the series beyond its focus on piracy over parkour. The first game not to feature Desmond as its Animus subject, it delved into Abstergo's attempt to re-write history to make the Templar's look heroic. Set during the 18th century Caribbean's Golden Age of Piracy, it's loosely a prequel of Assassin's Creed III. Star Edward Kenway is the father of AC III antagonist Haytham and grandfather of protagonist Conner.
