François-Joseph Paul, Marquis de Grasse Tilly, Comte de Grasse (13 September 1722 – 11 January 1788) was a French Navy admiral, best known for his command of the French fleet at the Battle of the Chesapeake, which directly led to the British surrender at Yorktown.
The Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton sought Admiral de Grasse's help, through Marquis de Lafayette, in order to shell Fort George and create a distraction so that he could slip inside undetected and kill Charles Lee. After Connor assisted de Grasse's fleet in the Chesapeake, the admiral agreed to the Assassin's plan, though he admitted it made no sense to him.
Ten days later, de Grasse's fleet was anchored in New York's harbor, flying British flags scavenged from the wrecks in the Chesapeake. After Connor lit a signal fire, the fleet opened fire, breaching Fort George's walls and creating the diversion Connor desired.
