	'''Benedict Arnold''' (1741 – 1801) was a Major General in the [[Continental Army]] who ~~ultimately~~ defected to the [[British Army]] during the [[American Revolutionary War]]. Initially considered a war hero, Arnold was given command of the fort at [[West Point]], where he was exposed as a traitor when the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton\|Connor]] discovered his plans to surrender the stronghold to the British.

'''Benedict Arnold''' (1741 – 1801) was a Major General in the [[Continental Army]] who later defected to the [[British Army]] during the [[American Revolutionary War]].

			Initially considered a war hero, Arnold was given command of the fort at [[West Point]], where he was exposed as a traitor when the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhaké:ton\|Connor]] discovered his plans to surrender the stronghold to the British. Since then, his name has become synonymous with traitor and treason in the United States.

	In 1780, the Assassin Connor was asked by [[George Washington]] to expose a rumored plot to overthrow West Point.

	Investigating the Major General, Connor eavesdropped on Arnold as he discussed plans with John Anderson—secretly Major [[John André]] of the British Army—to deliver a letter to the British General Henry Clinton. Once the conversation ended, Benedict went back to the fort while his associate met up with British Regulars to acquire a uniform.<ref name="A Spy Among Us">''[[Assassin's Creed III]] – [[Benedict Arnold (DLC)\|Benedict Arnold]]'' – [[A Spy Among Us]]</ref>		Investigating the Major General, Connor eavesdropped on Arnold as he discussed plans with John Anderson—secretly Major [[John André]] of the British Army—to deliver a letter to the British General [[Henry Clinton]].

	Anderson later came back to the fort, but was caught when Connor stopped two Continental soldiers from killing him.

	Unaware he had been compromised, Benedict waited for André's return and also for the Regulars to arrive with his money. However, Connor ~~arrived~~ first and exposed Arnold for the traitor he was, right as the Regulars arrived, at which point Benedict fled the fort while the British began their [[Battle of West Point\|assault]].<ref name="Battle of West Point">''[[Assassin's Creed III]] – [[Benedict Arnold (DLC)\|Benedict Arnold]]'' – [[Battle of West Point (memory)\|Battle of West Point]]</ref>		Unaware he had been compromised, Benedict waited for André's return and also for the Regulars to arrive with his money.
