Benedict Arnold is an American general who betrayed his country during the American Revolution, attempting to surrender a fort to the British and then later joining the side of the British.

Although a compitent and capable General, Arnold felt that his services were being other looked while others were be given rewards which he believed should be his. This was his motivation for betraying the American forces.

Following the war he lived out the rest of his life in England.
