In Assassin's Creed III, which historical figure leads the Sons of Liberty?

Samuel Adams leads the Sons of Liberty in Assassin's Creed III.

The game places part of its story in Boston and New York during the American Revolution. Samuel Adams appears as a historical ally of Ratonhnhaké:ton, the assassin commonly known by the name Connor. His role reflects the real Samuel Adams, a Massachusetts politician and organizer associated with colonial resistance to British rule.

The Sons of Liberty were a real political group that opposed taxation and other British policies. Their name became especially associated with protests in Boston before the Revolutionary War. Assassin's Creed III adapts real people and events into its fictional conflict between Assassins and Templars.

George Washington and Paul Revere also belong to the game's historical setting, which makes them plausible alternatives. Washington becomes a major figure in the Revolution, while Revere is linked to the famous 1775 midnight ride. Benjamin Franklin likewise appears, but he is not the leader identified by this question.
