Arthur Connolly

Arthur Connolly was a British captain who worked for the British East India Company. He was executed along with fellow British officer Charles Stoddart by the Emir of Bukhara, Nasrullah Khan in 1842 for spying for the British Empire. He is often credited for inventing the term Great Game to describe the struggle between the British Empire and Russia for domination over Central Asia.
