Weishaupt in fiction

A fictionalized version, Adam Weisshaupt, appeared in Cerebus, as a combination of Weishaupt and George Washington. He appeared primarily in the Cerebus and Church and State I volumes. His motives were Republican confederalizing of city-states in Estarcion (a pseudo-Europe) and the accumulation of capital unencumbered by government or church. The Washington-Weishaupt connection is also seen in Illuminatus!.
