	Germain was extremely ruthless, willing to go to great lengths to see his ambitions fulfilled, and humanity returned to the role of slaves. This was seen through the turmoil of the French Revolution, where his machinations caused millions of civilians across France to starve, and thousands more to die under the Reign of Terror. He also expressed little remorse for the deaths of his Templar followers, even forsaking them if they were ever to outlive their usefulness, as seen with Robespierre.

	As a Sage, Germain was capable of using Isu artifacts without suffering from any detrimental effects. He was able to wield the Sword of Eden with great proficiency, accessing its abilities of physical displacement, creating illusions and projecting energy with relative ease. Germain could use the sword as a melee weapon as well, being able to hold his own in a sword fight against Élise, as he was trained in the art of swordsmanship by Frederick Weatherall, making him a highly skilled swordsman.<ref name="ACU"/>		As a Sage, Germain was capable of using Isu artifacts without suffering from any detrimental effects.

	*Germain's character is only partly based on the historical French silversmith. His nature as a Sage derives from the {{Wiki\|Count of St. Germain}}, an anonymous courtier whose urban legends and alleged prophesies of the French Revolution made him popular in 19th century occult circles as a supposed immortal believed by some to have once been the [[Wandering Jew]].		*Germain's character is only partly based on the historical French silversmith.
