	Born as part of a long line of executioners, Sanson became concerned about the strain on his shoulders and back if he were to carry out the numerous executions demanded after the outbreak of the [[French Revolution]]. For this reason, he supported the adoption of the more efficient [[guillotine]] as the official method of execution in France.<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – [[Database: Charles-Henri Sanson]]</ref>		Born as part of a long line of executioners, Sanson became concerned about the strain on his shoulders and back if he were to carry out the numerous executions demanded after the outbreak of the [[French Revolution]].

	Around 1792, Sanson began the construction of a guillotine with his friend, [[Tobias Schmidt]]. After Sanson had executed two corrupt tax collectors, the latters' henchmen stole the components to the guillotine out of vengeance and in an attempt to lure the executioner into a trap. In response, Sanson contacted the [[Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins\|French Assassin]] [[Arno Dorian]] and had him recover the components. After Arno had recovered them, Sanson and Schmidt tested the machine, before he helped them fight off an ambush by the henchmen.

	In January 1793, Sanson oversaw the execution of King [[Louis XVI of France\|Louis XVI]], and soon became a notorious figure of the [[Reign of Terror]]. He asked that the public donated old rags and other cloths to clean up the blood on the guillotine stage. In April 1794, Sanson also oversaw the execution of [[Georges Danton]] and a number of other enemies of [[Maximilien de Robespierre]].

			Although, Sanson is mentioned to execute a sentence on [[The Execution\|Louis XVI]], [[Danton's Sacrifice\|Danton]] and [[Jacobin Raid\|Robespierre]], he is not seen at the guillotine in any of the three memories pertaining these executions in the game.
