	To improve the financial prospects of her house, Marie Lévesque was compelled to marry [[Thomas Lévesque\|Thomas Lobit]] of a lesser yet more prosperous house.

			The exact familial connection between the two most prominent members of the Lévesque family, Magdelaine and Marie, is unknown. Marie appears as a supporting antagonist in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' while Magdelaine is exclusively mentioned in the [[war letters]] that can be collected in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]''; since she is never seen in person, it can not be inferred whether Magdelaine was Marie's mother, grandmother, or a more distant relative.
