	After the session, André again visited the bar to get a drink, where he was found by Violet. She asked him about his encounter in the torture chamber, to which he replied that it felt like dying over and over. Violet then told André that she had spoken to Berg and that the information they had uncovered was not enough, but they could not force André to return to the Animus if he did not want to. When André claimed that he was still uncertain if the Templars were crazy or not, Violet replied that maybe they were, but they were not liars, before handing him a [[Templar pin]] once owned by the Black Cross [[Albert Bolden]].<ref name="T9">''[[Assassin's Creed: Templars]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Templars 9\|Issue #09]]</ref>		After the session, André again visited the bar to get a drink, where he was found by Violet.

He then volunteered to return to the Animus so Berg could complete his investigation. Through the last session, André and Berg learned that Jan had been trained to become the next Black Cross by Tavis Olier and that he had successfully retrieved the Koh-i-Noor, only to seemingly give it away to the Assassins.<ref name="T9"/>		The two later returned to the facility, where they learned that Caitlin had been killed.

	By 2017, André had started working with Berg, helping him in his secret role as the new Black Cross. In February, André was contacted by Berg, who was in [[Hong Kong]] investigating the aftermath of an Assassin raid on an abandoned Abstergo [[Abstergo Industries Hong Kong facility\|office]]. When Berg identified the weapons involved as Assassin weapons, André suggested the possibility of the Assassins and Templars working together, though Berg was unable to confirm it.<ref name="ACUp 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Uprising]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Uprising 1\|Issue #01]]</ref>		By 2017, André had started working with Berg, helping him in his secret role as the new Black Cross.

	The following month, André dressed up as the Black Cross to protect Berg's identity at the [[Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order\|Inner Sanctum]] meeting in [[Charlevoix]], [[Quebec]]. During the meeting, the Inner Sanctum questioned his identity, to which he replied that he was the Black Cross and that he knew all of their identities. André informed the members that Abstergo may have been infiltrated by a number of hostile fifth columns. [[Laetitia England]] asked for the proof, to which André responded with a middle finger, refusing to answer to the Inner Sanctum. Berg pretended to be enraged by the Black Cross' comments and jumped him, only to be thrown across the room. Affirming his independence and warning the members, André threw a [[Smoke screen bomb\|smoke bomb]] and ~~left the meeting~~.<ref name="ACUp 2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Uprising]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Uprising 2\|Issue #02]]</ref>		The following month, André dressed up as the Black Cross to protect Berg's identity at the [[Inner Sanctum of the Templar Order\|Inner Sanctum]] meeting in [[Charlevoix]], [[Quebec]].

	André later returned to Berg's apartment in [[Montreal]], where he was offered a drink by the Templar. André was amazed at how much the Black Cross suit weighed and wondered how Berg was able to move around in it. Berg responded that he had gotten used to it thanks to having worn kevlar vests during his time in the [[Utti Jaeger Regiment]]. He then asked André why he had given the Inner Sanctum the middle finger, to which the latter responded that he had gotten lost in the moment. Berg remarked that the Inner Sanctum was ruthless and that André should count himself lucky that he did not get lost in a landfill.<ref name="ACUp 2"/>		André later returned to Berg's apartment in [[Montreal]], where he was offered a drink by the Templar.
