	Born in 1746, Condorcet was a brilliant student. He entered the Royal Academy of Sciences in 1769, where he developed his own mathematical theories working on statistics and probabilities.

	Leaving Paris on 25 March 1794, Condorcet hid his manuscript in the coffin of [[Louis IX of France\|King Louis IX]] at the royal necropolis underneath [[Saint-Denis\|Franciade]] and left behind a drawing of a royal crest as a clue. On 27 March, he was arrested and subsequently imprisoned in {{Wiki\|Bourg-la-Reine\|Bourg-l'Égalité}}, where he died shortly after. It is widely believed that Condorcet had poisoned himself, although the [[Templars\|Templar Order]]'s opposition to Enlightenment thought makes it likely that they murdered him in the hopes of acquiring the manuscript.<ref name="DK" />		Leaving Paris on 25 March 1794, Condorcet hid his manuscript in the coffin of [[Louis IX of France\|King Louis IX]] at the royal necropolis underneath [[Saint-Denis\|Franciade]] and left behind a drawing of a royal crest as a clue.<ref name=":0">''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' – ''[[Dead Kings]]'' – [[Buried Words]]</ref> On 27 March, he was arrested and subsequently imprisoned in {{Wiki\|Bourg-la-Reine\|Bourg-l'Égalité}}, where he died shortly after.

	Shortly after Condorcet's death, the [[Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade\|Marquis de Sade]] took an interest in his manuscript and sought to find it. Contacting Arno for help, he showed the exiled Assassin the drawing of the crest, which directed him to the necropolis. Upon finding the coffin, however, Arno learned that the manuscript had been stolen by a local thief named [[Léon]]. The former was eventually able to give de Sade the manuscript, which was published in 1795 and is considered a highly important piece of Enlightenment philosophy.<ref ~~name="DK"~~ />		Shortly after Condorcet's death, the [[Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade\|Marquis de Sade]] took an interest in his manuscript and sought to find it.
