Haytham admits he's become bored and complacent in his years as the Grand Master without any serious threats to the Order... until a Master Assassin appears to unravel his plans and kills off his agents. Rather than angry and/or annoyed, he's curious and becomes slightly obsessed with the new challenger. Picture lots of steamy encounters that start with fights and bickering, but end with Haytham walking away all smug and Connor is a flustered emotional mess because he never gets the chance to tell Haytham that he is his son... though when Haytham finds out, he doesn't really mind.
