Thomas Hickey was a solider in the Continental Army and a member of the Templar Order in Assassin's Creed III.
Arriving in Boston in 1752, Hickey was assigned to William Johnson's personal guard. In 1754, Haytham Kenway contacted Johnson for information on the First Civilization site and was directed to Hickey for help in retrieving the information from mercenaries. He later joined Hayhtam and the other members of the order on the attack of Edward Braddock.
In 1776, Hickey resurface in New York, where he counterfeited currency for the black market and was a part of George Washington's personal bodyguard, likely at the request of the Templars, before attempting his assassination and being killed at the hands of Connor Kenway.
