Jonathan "John" Pitcairn (1722 – 1775) was a member of the Templar Order and a British marine stationed in Boston, Massachusetts for a time before the official start of the American Revolutionary War.
During the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton assassinated him within his command point atop Moultan Hill.
In his final moments, Pitcarin and Ratonhnhaké:ton talked where Pitcarin started by asking,
Pitcarin: Why...why did you do this?
Connor: To protect Adams and Hancock, and those they serve. You meant to kill them.
Pitcarin: Kill them? Are you mad? I wanted only to parlay. There was so much to discuss. To explain. But you've put an end to that now.
Connor: If you speak true, then I will carry your last words to them.
Pitcarin: They must lay down their arms. They must stop this war!
Connor: Why them and not the Redcoats?
Pitcarin: Do you not think we asked the same question of the British? These things take time. And it would have succedded, had you let me play my part.
Connor: Part of the puppeteer.
Pitcarin: Better we hold the strings than another.
Connor: No. The stings should be severed. All should be free.
Pitcarin: And we should live forever on castles in the sky. You wield your blade like a man, but your mouth like a child. And more will die now...because of that...
Connor: (It is better to have faith in something than none at all).
