#if you're gonna make a game about a mohawk character don't do it halfheartedly

We talk a big storm about Edward meeting Connor and what could have been, but what about the grandparent who was there for him? The Clan Mother was literally the person who called the shots and clashed with Ratohnhaké:ton's mother in the DLC. Haudenosaunee societies were matriarchal, so what did he learn from the Clan Mother, who probably selected their leaders and had to both rebuild the village after it was burned and be there for Ratohnhaké:ton when his mother -- her daughter -- died?

There was just as much family dynamic to be explored through his maternal side as there was with his paternal. I love how much story was put into Assassin's Creed III through its shifting perspectives -- first Haytham, briefly Ziio, and then Ratohnhaké:ton throughout different phases of his life -- but I felt that a lot of pivotal points were neglected screentime.

Maybe Ube Softee could have explored his life further, but as we all know, Connor gets a significant amount of hate coming hot off the heels of Ezio, and his stories have been scrapped.
