'''Armand Bouchart''' (died 1191) was the [[Grand Master of the Knights Templar]], succeeding [[Robert de Sable]].<br />
<br />
==Biography==<br />
===Time in Cyprus===<br />
Armand bought the island [[Cyprus]] from [[Richard I of England|Richard the Lionheart]] after he had captured it from [[Isaac Comnenus]].<ref name="Bloodlines">''[[Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines]]''</ref><br />
<br />
Upon arriving in Cyprus, Armand established his own rule alongside his fellow [[Templars]] and lieutenants: [[Moloch]], [[Shalim]], [[Shahar]] and [[Frederick the Red]]. Together, they sought to locate and evacuate all the artifacts hidden within the sacred [[Templar Archive]].<ref name="Bloodlines" /><br />
<br />
===Death===<br />
[[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], the [[Mentor]] of the [[Syrian Assassins]] and killer of Robert de Sable, sought Armand numerous times during his visit on Cyprus, though with no success.<ref name="Bloodlines" /><br />
<br />
By the time Armand had already completed his plans and evacuated all of the Archive's artifacts, Altaïr caught up to him and the two dueled, resulting finally in Armand's death.<ref name="Bloodlines" /><br />
<br />
==Personality and characteristics==<br />
Armand was a tall, slim man in his 40s. He was a master swordsman, and the most powerful opponent Altaïr faced on Cyprus.<br />
<br />
==Final Words==<br />
[[File:Armand_Bouchart_Death.png|thumb|right|250px|Altaïr strikes Armand.]]<br />
(Altaïr stabs Armand with his sword, causing him to fall.)<br />
<br />
'''Armand:''' ''You are a... a credit to [[The Creed|your creed]], Altaïr.''<br />
<br />
'''Altaïr:''' ''And you have strayed from yours.''<br />
<br />
'''Armand:''' ''Not strayed, expanded. The world is more complicated than most dare admit. And if you, [[Assassins|assassin]], if knew more than how to murder, you ''might'' understand this...''<br />
<br />
'''Altaïr:''' ''Save your lecture on virtue for yourself, and die knowing I will never let the [[Sixth Apple|apple]] fall into any hands but my own!''<br />
<br />
'''Armand:''' ''Keep it close, Altaïr. You will come to the same conclusions we did... in time...''<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*In real life, it was Robert de Sable who bought Cyprus from King Richard I. Armand merely served under Robert's reign, as the latter was still Grand Master of the Knights Templar at the time.<br />
*Cyprus was only headed by 14 to 20 Templar soldiers alongside Armand, whilst Robert de Sable was the general of the mainland forces.<br />
*For some reason his men wear the colours of king richard the lionheart. Especially the archers scattered around the city rooftops.<br />
