'''Isabelle Ardant''' (née '''Chu'''; 1969 – 2015) was an Operations executive in the Historical Research division of [[Abstergo Industries]], and a member of the [[Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order|Inner Sanctum]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Isabelle was born in [[Hong Kong]] in 1969 and moved to the [[United Kingdom]] to attend the University of Cambridge, where she specialized in computer science.

===Early years with Abstergo===
At one point, she was recruited by [[Abstergo Industries]] as a part of their "Young Innovators" program. She worked as a digital archivist for the [[Project Legacy]] program, eventually learning about the existance of the [[Pieces of Eden]]. Isabelle worked her way up through the ranks, finally securing her position as the Operation Executive for the Historical Research division, and being inducted into the [[Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order|Inner Sanctum of the Templar Orden]] in 2011.<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref><ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

In 2014, Ardant sent an email to [[Álvaro Gramática]], in which she briefed him about the 2.7 seconds of footage depicting the [[First Civilization]], that had been successfully extracted from [[John Standish]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]]. Although the data was relatively mangled, she was able to make out architectural styles and large guard-like figures, which excited her.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>

===Quest for the Shroud===
In 2015, Abstergo was on the trail of a [[Shroud of Eden]]. Ardant entered her office in [[London]], where she shared a video conference with Gramática, who was heading the search, promising to bring in [[Sigma Team]]. Seconds after she ended the call, she was confronted by the [[Assassins]] [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]]. However, [[Juhani Otso Berg]] and [[Violet da Costa]] turned up, but a set of explosives allowed the Assassins to escape. Angered by their escape, Isabelle ordered Sigma Team to hunt them down.<ref name="ACS" />

Some time afterward, the Templars learned that the Shroud was hidden underneath [[Buckingham Palace]], but unknown to them, so had the Assassins. Hastings, Crane and [[Galina Voronina]] attacked Ardant, da Costa and Berg. While Ardant attempted to escape with the Shroud, Hastings snuck up behind the Templar and stabbed her in the back with his [[Hidden Blade|Shock Blade]].<ref name="ACS" />

==Trivia==
*Ardant's maiden name, Chu, can be written as 朱 in the {{Wiki|Wade-Giles spelling system}}, in which case it would mean "red, scarlet", or as 楚 in the {{Wiki|Pinyin|pinyin system}}, referring to one of the kingdoms in the Zhou dynasty.
