'''François de la Serre''' (1733 – 5 May 1789) was the [[Grand Master]] of the [[Templars|Templar Order]] during the late 18th century. He was the father of [[Élise de la Serre]] and adoptive father of the [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Arno Dorian]]. Due to his respect for Arno's biological father, François did not try to indoctrinate Arno into embracing Templar ideals, instead allowing him to have a normal childhood.

François attempted to make peace with the Assassins, but this was not accepted by other Templars. He was killed by his fellow Templars in a coup d'état instigated by [[François-Thomas Germain]], which was followed by a shift in power and core ideologies within the Order. After the death of de la Serre, the Order split between the "old guard" led by [[Élise de la Serre]] and the followers of the new Grand Master, Germain, who wanted to encourage the rise of the middle class at the expense of the aristocracy.

==Trivia==
*François is a French variant of the name Franciscus, Latin for "Frenchman". The family name comes from the French ''Serre'', meaning "talon" or "greenhouse", while ''de la'', "from the", indicates nobility.
