Edward Kenway is a British privateer-turned-pirate and a member of the Assassin Order. Born in relative poverty to an English father and a Welsh mother, Edward was a charming and charismatic individual who aged to become a fairly reckless and selfish young man with a penchant for drinking. During his early teens, Edward's family moved to Bristol, in south-west England, where he eventually met and married Caroline Scott, a woman two years his senior, and with whom he had a daughter, Jenny Kenway. Although a lively marriage by all accounts, Caroline soon grew tired of Edward's inability to find steady work or take his responsibilities as a husband seriously, though it was Edward's grandiose ideas about sailing as a privateer in the West Indies that ultimately led to their estrangement. Determined to prove his worth, Edward pursued his dreams of being a privateer and in late 1712, boarded a ship chartered for Jamaica, with the intention of sailing under the renowned privateer, Benjamin Hornigold. He remained in Jamaica for six months until the Treaty of Utrecht in early 1713, which effectively ended all conflict between the major empires, and as such, British privateers were no longer needed or tolerated in the West Indies, causing Edward to find himself out of work. By 1715, Edward had two years of piracy under his belt, and command of the warship Jackdaw; an experience that had made him deft with a ship and able to climb under even the most extreme conditions.

Second of the Three Unifiers. Unlike his real and Samurai Warriors counterparts, he is depicted as a giant man, whose ambition is to rule all of Japan and form it into a formidable, prospering nation, which causes him to declare Nobunaga as a source of chaos that must be annihilated. Even though he has good intentions, he is drunk with power and will use any means, no matter how ruthless, to achieve it (though he is still charismatic and caring to his subordinates, unlike Motonari). With just his bare hands, he can destroy an entire platoon in just seconds. His weapons are his hands, which can be strengthened with magical arm guards. Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes reveals that he used to be friends with Keiji and was sane (joining Keiji in making pranks here and there), before the hunger for power (fueled by being humiliated by Matsunaga Hisahide) corrupted him into the man he is in Sengoku Basara 2. It's even hinted that he killed his historical wife in Keiji's story to achieve more power. Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣 ç§€å�‰, February 2, 1536 – September 18, 1598) was a daimyo in the Sengoku period who unified Japan. He succeeded his former liege lord, Oda Nobunaga, and brought an end to the Sengoku period. The period of his rule is often called the Momoyama period, named after Hideyoshi's castle. He is noted for a number of cultural legacies, including the restriction that only members of the samurai class could bear arms. Hideyoshi is regarded as Japan's second "great unifier".
