	After the Assassin's departure, la Touche managed to free himself and rushed to the catacombs to warn his master, who ordered his enforcer to lead a search party and eliminate Arno. However, when la Touche actually came across the Assassin, he sealed himself behind a gate and pointed Arno in the direction of the Roi des Thunes, before fleeing the sewers.

	A month or so later, la Touche met up with other high-ranking Templars at the [[Hôtel de Beauvais]] to discuss their next move with Germain. When [[Marie Lévesque]] expressed her concerns that [[Chrétien Lafrenière]] was targeting them, la Touche informed her that an Assassin had been manipulated into killing the man. La Touche then fetched [[Frédéric Rouille]], whom he berated for having a prisoner thrown out of a window, noting that it could alert someone to their meeting with Germain. La Touche played little part in the subsequent meeting, but supported le Peletier's argument that their patient planning risked discovery since the Assassins had already found and eliminated Sivert and the Rois des Thunes. Germain brushed this aside, however, as the two had already served their purpose.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' – [[The Jacobin Club]]</ref>		A month or so later, la Touche met up with other high-ranking Templars at the [[Hôtel de Beauvais]] to discuss their next move with Germain.

	After the Grand Master had laid out his plans and prepared to leave, la Touche trailed after him and asked what he needed to do. He was subsequently introduced to and placed under the command of fellow Templar [[Maximilien de Robespierre]], with the intent of spreading the Reign of Terror in Versailles once the revolution had sufficiently radicalized.

	In ~~late~~ 1793, la Touche held another public execution, condemning the prisoners for being traitors to the revolution.

La Touche then fetched [[Frédéric Rouille]], whom he berated for having a prisoner thrown out of a window, noting that it could alert someone to their meeting with Germain. La Touche played little part in the subsequent meeting, but supported Le Peletier's argument that their patient planning risked discovery since the Assassins had already found and eliminated Sivert and the Rois des Thunes. Germain brushed this aside, however, as the two had already served their purpose.<ref ~~name="ACU"~~ />		A month or so later, la Touche met up with other high-ranking Templars at the [[Hôtel de Beauvais\|Hotel de Beauvais]] to discuss their next move with Germain.

	After the Grand Master had laid out his plans and prepared to leave, la Touche trailed after him and asked what he needed to do.

To his utter surprise and horror, however, the first prisoner was Arno himself, who quickly broke free and stabbed la Touche with his [[Hidden Blade]] before anyone could react. From his memories, Arno discovered Robespierre's ties to the Templar Order and marked him as his next target.<ref name="~~ACU~~" />		In late 1793, la Touche held another public execution, condemning the prisoners for being traitors to the revolution.
