| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Battle of Bunker Hill===
| |
| During the Battle of Bunker Hill, Putnam was approached by the [[Assassin]] [[Ratonhnhake:ton]], who desired a Patriot victory as the British troops were under the command of a [[Templar]], Major [[John Pitcairn]].
| |
| | |
| To achieve this, Putnam tasked him with disabling two British frigates who were bombarding the nearby area from the harbor. Once the deed was done, Putnam rallied his troops, delivering a harrowing speech, as Connor set out to assassinate Pitcairn.
| |
| | |
| He succeeded in killing the major, but nevertheless, Putnam was outnumbered and forced to retreat, granting the British a Pyrrhic victory.
| |
| | |
| ===Vouching for Connor===
| |
| One year later, Connor was captured by the Templars and falsely accused of plotting to assassinate General [[George Washington]], a crime the Templars themselves had committed.
| |
| | |
| He later escaped execution and killed the true conspirator, [[Thomas Hickey]], before he could strike Washington. When surrounded by armed guards after murdering Hickey, it was Putnam who arrived to vouch for Connor's innocence, proclaiming him a hero to the Patriot cause.
