1) Brunski (orderly at Eichen House)

He's not a main character but I wouldn't be surprised. When Meredith told Lydia that the Benefactor told her not to say anything, is when this theory hit me. Who has constant access to Meredith? Maybe Meredith is the one that helped compile the list of supernaturals for him. Just a theory..

2) Peter Hale

This would be the obvious answer since his name isn't on the list, although I think its highly unlikely. But, what if Peter set up the heist himself. What if it were the assassin with no mouth that helped him steal the money, therefore, knows his identity. Sure he put a hatchet into Peter's chest, but I'm sure he knew he wouldn't die from it. When he was caught (not like he could of said anything), but he could of written something down to identify the Benefactor. So before that even had a chance to happen, Peter kills him.

3) Mr. Tate

Malia's dad has been through hell which gives him the revenge factor. He lost his wife and daughter. His only surviving daughter is a werecoyote. From a motive standpoint, he has just as much of a reason to kill supernatural beings..if he knew about them. With his meager lifestyle, he's someone that would definitely have to steal that kind of money.

4) Character not introduced yet

I think the Benefactor is someone that is already on the show, so this is my longshot.

5) Meredith

An even longer shot, but its a theory. What if she's not this crazy banshee that she's portraying herself to be. Lydia found an old picture that had Meredith in it, but she looked the same. Who is she to Lydia and what is that picture doing in her lake house? Meredith could very well be this mastermind that faked her own death when people were getting too close and Brunski, my #1 suspect, is her accomplice.

My long shot pick. Who would of thunk
