In Assassin’s Creed III, which historical figure leads the Continental Army?

In Assassin’s Creed III, George Washington leads the Continental Army.

The game is set during the American Revolutionary War and presents Washington as a major historical character encountered by Ratonhnhaké:ton, also known as Connor. Washington’s military leadership connects Connor’s personal conflict with the wider struggle between the American revolutionaries and the British forces.

The Continental Army was created by the Second Continental Congress in 1775. Washington served as its commander in chief throughout the Revolutionary War and later became the first president of the United States under the Constitution.

Assassin’s Creed III uses real figures and events while adding fictional Assassin and Templar storylines. Benjamin Franklin appears as an inventor and statesman, Thomas Jefferson is associated with the revolutionary era, and John Adams was a political leader, but none of them commanded the Continental Army. Washington is the specific answer to the question.
