'''François-Joseph Carbon''' (1756–1800) was a man in command over a group of [[France|French]] [[Royalist]]s who attempted to assassinate [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] in the aftermath of the [[13 Vendémiaire]].

==Biography==
On 5 October 1795, an army of twenty-five thousand Royalists staged an uprising in order to restore the French [[Louis XVI of France|monarchy]]. However, they were opposed by Napoleon and five thousand [[French Army|troops]] under his command, and defeated by the use of [[Cannons|artillery]]. Carbon nonetheless led a charge straight into the cannonfire, only to be blasted to the ground and see most of his men killed by grapeshot. Carbon escaped being captured, but was left with severe facial scarring, blind in his right eye and a burning passion to see Napoleon dead.<ref name="The Infernal Machine">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – [[The Infernal Machine]]</ref>

On 24 December 1800, Carbon amassed the remainder of his men in an attempt to assassinate Bonaparte while he was attending an opera. He placed several snipers in the buildings along the route taken by Napoleon's carriage, and planned to used an explosive device known as the "[[Infernal Machine]]", should the gunmen fail.<ref name="The Infernal Machine" />

The snipers were killed by [[Arno Dorian]] and a team of [[Assassins]], who sought to prevent the royalists from returning to power. The "Infernal Machine" detonated too early as well, far away from Napoleon's carriage. With the failure of the assassination, Carbon planned to flee from [[Paris]], but was tracked down and killed by Arno before he could attempt his escape.<ref name="The Infernal Machine" />
