In Assassin's Creed III, which historical figure does Connor meet and assist?

In Assassin's Creed III, Connor meets and assists George Washington.

Connor, whose Kanien'kehá:ka name is Ratonhnhaké:ton, becomes involved in the American Revolution while seeking to protect his community and oppose the Templar influence surrounding the conflict. Washington is a major historical character in the game and is portrayed as a military leader during the Revolutionary War.

The story uses real events and figures but places them within Assassin's Creed's fictional conflict between Assassins and Templars. Connor works with Washington during several missions, including operations connected to the Continental Army and the wider war.

Washington later becomes the first president of the United States, serving from 1789 to 1797. The game also includes figures such as Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere, and Charles Lee, which can make the historical cast easy to confuse. Washington is the specific leader most closely tied to Connor's military storyline.
