'''Silas Thatcher''' (1720 – 1754) was a high-ranking officer of the [[British Army]], and a prolific slave trader.

Silas was responsible for the ransacking of [[Benjamin Church]]'s house, and his subsequent interrogation, alongside a man called "Cutter". However, shortly after he left, [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Charles Lee]] freed their associate, through infiltrating the location Church was kept – after they determined his whereabouts through [[eavesdropping]] – and the silent assassination of Cutter and two guards.

Later, while posted at [[Southgate Fort]] in [[Boston]], he would receive deliveries of prisoners. In 1754, one such convoy, full of [[Mohawk]] tribespeople, was commandeered by Haytham and his men as a means to enter the fortification.

Shortly after, on discovering the ruse, Silas ordered his men to fire on the [[Templars]], but he was cornered by Haytham and executed by Church, as a means of payback for the latter's previous maltreatment.

==Trivia==
*In the official E3 gameplay of ''Assassin's Creed III'', Silas was portrayed as a Templar, and was intended to be an assassination target of the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]].
*Unlike other prominent British [[Redcoats]] such as [[John Pitcairn]] and [[Edward Braddock]], Silas was not a historical figure.
