'''Donatien Alphonse François de Sade''' (2 June 1740 – 2 December 1814), better known as the '''Marquis de Sade''', was a [[France|French]] aristocrat, [[French Revolution|revolutionary]] politician, philosopher and writer famous for his libertine sexuality. He also became the new '''Roi des Thunes''' after Arno killed the former bearer of the title. He was a proponent of extreme freedom, unrestrained by morality, religion or law.

He had been held prisoner in the [[Bastille]] for several years, but was transferred to another prison shortly before angry [[Paris]]ians stormed the stronghold.<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-06-23-assassins-creed-unity-everything-we-know-so-far Eurogamer: ''Assassin's Creed Unity'' – everything we know so far]</ref>

==Trivia==
*[[Alexandre Amancio]] described ''Unity'''s depiction of the Marquis de Sade as being based on {{Wiki|Hannibal Lecter}}.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/podcasts/archive/2014/09/03/special-edition-podcast-assassin-39-s-creed-unity.aspx GameInformer: Special Edition Podcast – ''Assassin's Creed Unity'']</ref>
* He seems to have a fetish of bestiality, sexual priests/nuns, and other acts of debauchery as he has mentioned it several times before.
* Marquis de Sade also seems to have an attraction to [[Elise de la Serre]].

'''Jacques de Molay''' (c. 1244 – 1314) was the last publicly recognized [[Grand Master]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], and presumably a [[Sage]].<ref name="AENEH">''[[Assassin's Creed Unity: Abstergo Entertainment - New Employee Handbook]]''</ref> Upon his execution, the Templars fled and went underground.

==Biography==
Jacques led the Templars from April 20, 1292 until 1312. Around this time, he possessed the [[Shroud of Eden]], but passed it on to a fellow [[France|French]] Templar, [[Geoffroy de Charny]].<ref name="ACPL">''[[Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy]]''</ref>

During the early 14th century, even as Jacques led his Order into their Golden Age, the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] influenced the French King [[Philip IV of France|Philip le Bel]] to turn against them. The Templars were branded heretics, their fortress was stormed, and hundreds of them were arrested.<ref name="ACR">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

As their Grand Master, Jacques understood that the Templars could no longer survive in a public image, and decided to make the ultimate sacrifice. Before his inevitable death, he sent nine of his most trusted men - who possessed "knowledge of the [[First Civilization|Ancients]]" - out into the world to continue his work.<ref name="ACR" />

In 1314, Jacques allowed himself to be interrogated, then burned at the stake. By doing so, he saved the lives of his brethren, and made their enemies believe that the Order had died along with him, though they had merely moved underground.<ref name="ACR" />

Jacques was later commemorated in 1937 by the Templar Order's new public front, [[Abstergo Industries]]. There, an image of him was displayed prominently in the room accessible only to members of the Order's [[Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order|Inner Sanctum]].<ref name="ACR" />

In 2001, researchers at the Vatican Secret Archives uncovered a document written in 1308 by Pope Clement which absolved Jacques de Molay of all charges. The parchment was later mysteriously lost.

==Trivia==
*Contrary to other known Sages, Jacques de Molay did not appear to be affected with {{Wiki|Heterochromia iridum|heterochromia}}.
* Jacques de Molay is somewhat of a grand hero to the [[Templars]], considered their messiah and greatest savior in history; similarly to what [[Altair Ibn La-Ahad|Altair Ibn La 'Ahad]] is to the [[Assassins]].
** Some even speculate that Jacques is the [[Father of Understanding|"Father of Understanding"]] that the Templars worship. However, this isn't likely, as the Templars have been reciting "May the Father of Understanding guide us" since the [[Third Crusade]] -- approximately 50 years before Jacques de Molay was born, and about 120 years before he died.
