- "The time is now near at hand, which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave resistance or the most abject submission. We have, therefore, to resolve to conquer or die!"
- ―George Washington before a battle with the British Army.[src]
George Washington (1732 – 1799) was the commander of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783, and served as the first President of the United States from 1789 to 1797. As stated in a hidden message from one of Subject 16's cluster puzzles, George Washington was a Freemason along with many of America's founding fathers. It is unclear what relationship the Freemasons had with either the Assassins or Templars, however he seems to be allied with Assassins in the upcoming game Assassin's Creed III, and the Assassin symbol does bear a strong resemblance to the Freemason compass
.
During the American Revolution, he was in possession of an Apple of Eden.[1] He was also a friend of Connor Kenway, an Assassin of English and Native American descent.[2]
