| '''Benjamin Tallmadge, Jr.''' (1754 – 1835) was a member of the {{Wiki|United States House of Representatives}} during the [[American Revolutionary War]]. He also organized the spy circle, the [[Culper Ring]], under the orders of General [[George Washington]] in the summer of 1778, during the British occupation of [[New York City|New York]] at the height of the American Revolutionary War.

| | |
| Despite his father, [[Benjamin Tallmadge, Sr.]], being an [[Assassins|Assassin]], Tallmadge chose not to join the Brotherhood, saying that he hoped to have a family someday and that living in two worlds was not ideal. However, he did help the Order as much as he could, and maintained correspondence with the Colonial [[Mentor]], [[Achilles Davenport]].<ref name="AC3">''[[Assassin's Creed III]]''</ref>

| | |
| When he discovered that the Assassin [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] had uncovered a plot to kill George Washington, he helped him gather evidence by leading him to a group belonging to a counterfeiting ring, orchestrated and led by [[Thomas Hickey]], the latter of which were printing false money. Fortunately, as they were passing by a market, a seller yelled at one man for using counterfeit money, whom Connor chose to tail.<ref name="AC3"/>
| |
| | |
| After both Connor and Hickey had been arrested and imprisoned, Tallmadge insured that Hickey would remain in [[Bridewell Prison]] by using his position in the government to publicly accuse Hickey of the assassination plot. The following investigation worked as planned, but Hickey was ultimately pardoned.
| |
| | |
| A few days later, Tallmadge was standing beside [[Israel Putnam]] as the General ordered the Patriots to stand down after Connor had stopped Hickey from killing Washington. However, Connor chose to depart for [[Philadelphia]], stating that Hickey did not act alone.
