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.
