[[Louis XV of France|King Louis XV]] took notice of him, and realized that d'Éon's appearance of a beautiful woman would make him easy to deploy as a spy. He was soon sent on a mission to [[Russia]] in 1756, equipped with a farthingale and a cascade wig. D'Éon listened at doors and stole documents with great dexterity. For this, Louis decorated him with the {{Wiki|Order of Saint Louis}}.<br /> <br /> After 49 years of dressing as a man on most occassions, d'Éon took to appearing publicly as a woman in 1777, sparking a debate on gender. When the [[Bastille]] was [[Storming of the Bastille|stormed]] in July 1789, he wrote to the [[National Assembly]] and offered to lead a division of female soldiers. However, this offer was rejected by the Assembly.<br /> <br /> D'Éon was known for being a skilled swordsman, and frequently challenged fencers to friendly duels, betting they could not defeat a woman. This practice proved to be profitable for him. Sometime during the [[French Revolution]], he contacted the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Arno Dorian]].<br /> <br /> Upon meeting him, d'Éon told him not to be confused by his appearance. He then told Arno that he knew of his allegiance and that he needed his help. To prove that he was capable for the job, d'Éon asked the Assassin to challenge several swordsman to duels and defeat them. After Arno returned triumphant, d'Éon challenged him to a duel as a final test. After the Assassin won the duel, the latter congatulated him on being the best swordsman.<br /> <br /> D'Éon later requested Arno's help in investigating the [[Crimson Rose]], suggesting he help the man so he could be allowed into the Crimson League. Upon his discovery that the league's members were all [[Templars]], d'Éon quickly alerted Arno to this fact, following which the Crimson Rose was assassinated.<br /> <br /> ==Reference==<br /> *''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Eon, Chevalier de}}<br /> [[Category:1728 births]]<br /> [[Category:1810 deaths]]<br /> [[Category:Individuals]]<br /> [[Category:Frenchmen]]<br /> [[Category:French Army]]<br /> [[Category:Freemasons]]<br /> [[Category:Assassin allies]]</div>
