'''Charles Messier''' (1730 – 1817) was a [[France|French]] astronomer who discovered the existence of the {{Wiki|Whirlpool Galaxy}}.

==Legacy==
In a 2012 [[Animus#Animus 2.0|Animus 2.0]] [[Database]] entry written by [[Shaun Hastings]], he theorized that the 414 steps of the [[Campanile di Giotto]] (completed in 1359) predicted the discovery of the Whirlpool Galaxy by Messier 414 years later in 1773, though quickly retracted this statement.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed II]]'' – [[Database: Giotto’s Campanile]]</ref>
