			Around 1789, the Roi des Thunes became aware of the existence of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]] and appealed for membership, claiming the advantages of his underground connections. However, [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[François de la Serre]] refused him membership in the Order as he did not believe his position was fruitful.

Despite this, the Assassin managed to elude the snipers, reach the Roi des Thunes and kill him with his [[Hidden Blade]]. In the process, he witnessed the Templar's memories, learning that the Roi des Thunes and Sivert had acted under someone else's orders when they murdered de la Serre.<ref name="LeRoiEstMort"/>

			After the Roi des Thunes' death, Arno claimed a trophy from the late monarch in the form of the [[Officer's Pistol]], the [[Firearm\|gun]] used by Brasseur before his murder. Meanwhile, what was left of the Templar's "kingdom" fell under the leadership of the Marquis de Sade,<ref name="LeRoiEstMort"/> who later wrote a letter alluding to his predecessor's death, remarking that "the King is dead, and none of his miracles can now save him".<ref name="Database"/>
