Thomas Hickey
Thomas Hickey (unknown - 1776) was a member of the Templar Order and later a soldier in the Continental Army.
Death
Thomas Hickey was assassinated in 1776 by the Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton on the day that the Assassin was to be executed, while Hickey was attempting to murder George Washington.
He was involved with an assassination plot to kill George Washington. The Assassin Ratonhnhaké:ton discovered this plot and confronted Hickey, who was creating counterfeit money at the time. Hickey fled, but after a chase Connor captured him but both were arrested and sent to prison. Haytham Kenway and Charles Lee managed to make his stay more comfortable by giving him a better cell. Connor managed to steal the warden's key and get into Hickey's cell. Connor began to choke a sleeping figure but he learned it was the already dead warden. Hickey and Lee arrived and defeated Connor. They blamed the plot and the murder of the warden on Connor. The next day Connor was taken to be hung, with a large crowd, including Washington in attendance. At this point Connor's mentor Achilles Davenport cut him loose and handed him a tomahawk, with other Assassins killing guards situated on the rooftops. As Hickey tried to flee he was blocked by the crowds, allowing Connor to kill him. As he died he revealed he was in the Order for his own good, rather than believing in the Templars' cause.
