'''Paris''' is the capital and largest city of [[France]].<br />
<br />
On 18 March 1314, Pope [[Clement V]], influenced by the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], had [[Jacques de Molay]], the [[Grand Master of the Templar Order]], burned at the stake in the city. His death marked the disbanding of Knights Templar, and their conversion into an organization operating in secret.<br />
<br />
During the [[Renaissance]], France was ruled by King [[Louis XII of France|Louis XII]], though he left the kingdom under the charge of his courtiers, who were secretly allied with the Templars. A group of [[Italian Assassins]], sent by their [[Mentor]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]], traveled to Paris to battle that Templar influence.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]'' - [[Contracts (Project Legacy)|Contracts]]</ref><br />
<br />
In 1527, [[Giovanni Borgia]] and [[Maria Amiel]] traveled to the [[Louvre]] in order to find the second half of "[[Book of Abraham|the Book]]", which had been used by [[Nicolas Flamel]] to [[Philosopher's stone|turn lead into gold]]. Afterwards, they visited the Flamel tomb in Paris' [[Holy Innocents' Cemetery]], but only found it devoid of bodies, or any sign of the Book.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' - [[Divine Science: Chapter 1 - Maria Amiel]]</ref><br />
<br />
Sometime towards the end of the 19th century, [[Samuel Liddell Mathers]], accompanied by the disembodied being of [[William Robert Woodman]], met one of the Secret Chiefs in Paris. The Chief, who wore a ring marked with the [[Templar insignia]], informed Mathers that his Order's partnership with the [[Hermeticists#Modern times|Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn]] had ended.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy'' - [[Divine Science: Chapter 4 - Frater V.O.V.]]</ref><br />

In 2014, [[Eric Cooper]] set up an Assassin headquarters in Paris to help infiltrate a data hub for the [[Helix]], [[Abstergo Entertainment]]'s upcoming cloud-based game service.<ref>[https://twitter.com/acinitiates/status/529996213291343872 AC Initiates Twitter]</ref><br />
