	The Templars purchased Cyprus shortly after King [[Richard I of England\|Richard I]] defeated the island's secretly Templar ruler, Emperor [[Isaac Comnenus]], who was imprisoned and eventually killed by Bouchart for endangering the Archive's secrecy.

	After Fredrick's assassination, Armand announced on the steps of Limassol Cathedral that he would tighten security on the island until the killer was found. The Guard Captain [[Osman]] advised against this, believing it would further provoke the majority who did not accept Templar rule. In response, Bouchart killed him as a warning to the [[Cypriot Resistance]], which Osman had secretly supported. Shortly afterwards, [[Maria Thorpe]] arrived and attempted to warn Armand of Altaïr's presence in the city and his search for the Grand Master, but Armand accused her of conspiring against their Order and had her arrested. Nonetheless, Bouchart seemed to take Maria's warning seriously, as he immediately left for [[Kyrenia]] to meet with the rest of his allies.

	Armand was a statuesque man, with a distinguishing feature being blindness in his right eye, most likely caused in battle. He typically wore heavy armor bearing the [[Templar insignia\|cross motif]] of his order, and fought with a [[Bouchart's Blade\|two-handed sword]]. Armand proved a dangerous opponent in battle. He appeared to be a skilled swordsman easily defeating Maria and matching Altaïr in combat. He also possessed a type of fire grenade that he would throw at his enemies.
