	Bellec was a highly skilled Master Assassin, having been trained by the Brotherhood from a young age and serving as a soldier in the [[French Army]]. Because of this, he was proficient in unarmed combat, swordsmanship and [[freerunning]]—skills he would later tutor Arno in—along with [[pickpocketing]] and [[lockpicking]]. In terms of equipment, Bellec was armed with a [[Hidden Blade]], [[Smoke screen bomb\|smoke bombs]], a sword, and a [[Firearm\|pistol]].<ref name="ACU">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]''</ref>		Bellec was a highly skilled Master Assassin, having been trained by the Brotherhood from a young age and serving as a soldier in the [[French Army]].

	Arno followed Bellec back to the Assassin headquarters, where they presented the ledger to the Council. Bellec then criticized [[Mentor]] [[Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau\|Mirabeau]] for his truce with the Templars, prompting [[Guillaume Beylier]] and [[Sophie Trenet]] to remind Mirabeau that the truce was with de la Serre, who had been dead for almost two years by that point.

	Bellec subsequently accompanied his apprentice to the [[Notre-Dame]], where Sivert was set to meet with his associate [[Duchesneau]]. Although he would not assist him during the assassination, Bellec nonetheless gave Arno advice on how to ~~cary~~ it out. He told him to exploit opportunities to reach his target and that, should all other approaches fail, he could always confront his target head-on and kill him at the cost of his own life, as was the way during the [[Levantine Brotherhood of Assassins\|Levantine era]].<ref name="Confession">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – [[Confession]]</ref>		Bellec subsequently accompanied his apprentice to the [[Notre-Dame]], where Sivert was set to meet with his associate [[Duchesneau]].

	Arno managed to gain the upper hand in the fight and threw his mentor into the chapel, gravely injuring him in the process. When Élise arrived, Bellec, believing she was the source of Arno's "weakness", tried to shoot her, claiming that Arno would thank him one day.

	With his dying words, Bellec urged Arno to finish him off as it was the only way to stop him. His apprentice complied and stabbed Bellec with his Hidden Blade, in the process witnessing his memories, including his poisoning of Mirabeau and him rescuing his father Charles during a mission. Arno then gave Bellec his last rites and left his lifeless body in the Saint-Chapelle,<ref name="Confrontation" /> where it was eventually discovered by priests who took notice of his "strange garb."<ref name="Database" />		With his dying words, Bellec urged Arno to finish him off as it was the only way to stop him.

	Bellec's radical views on the conflict between the Assassins and Templars culminated in poisoning of Mirabeau in order to prevent peace between the two factions. In contrast to this act of murder, he believed himself to be the successor of other Assassins who managed to rebuild the Brotherhood after it had undergone defeat and disaster, as [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze\|Ezio Auditore]], and [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] had done. He also planned to poison the other Council members to ensure that they did not pursue Mirabeau's plan, even though they had shared his reluctance in accepting a truce with Élise de la Serre.<ref name="Confrontation" />		Bellec's radical views on the conflict between the Assassins and Templars culminated in his poisoning of Mirabeau in order to prevent peace between the two factions.

	Despite his coarse attitude, there was a softer side to Bellec's personality. He trusted Arno like he did with the latter's father, but believed that he was influenced by the wrong kind of people. Before he died, he admitted his respect for Arno and his decision, and urged him to kill him in order to strengthen his conviction. He even stated his opinions to Mirabeau that he trusted Arno with his own life, but he did not trust Élise.<ref name="Confrontation" />		Despite his coarse attitude, there was a softer side to Bellec's personality.

	Bellec's Assassin robes are identical to those worn by members of the Parisian Brotherhood, albeit with a different ~~colors~~. There are also some notable differences between the robes he wears and the set Arno receives upon killing him; namely, Bellec's have a hooded cloak and only one glove.

	Possibly as a result of his prior military service, Bellec is the only member of the Assassin Council to carry a sword. He is also, oddly, the only one of their number to wield a Hidden Blade, and despite being a Master Assassin, Bellec is never seen with his hood on.
