I think the Benefactor could be Matt. I remember in season 2 that he asked Scott for the beastiary because he wanted to know what was happening to him. He had the kanima scales on the side of his torso. I think that Matt was turning and after Gerard drowned him, he had like a recovery state/healing process. He also knew about the supernaturals in beacon hills. He also probably stayed in the shadows while Kate and Derek led him to the vault so that he could get the bearer bonds.

Comments or other theories?
