	In the late 18th century, Versailles was the childhood home of the [[Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins\|French Assassin]] [[Charles Dorian]]'s son [[Arno Dorian\|Arno]], who was taken in by the [[Parisian Rite of the Templar Order\|French Templars]]' [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[François de la Serre]]<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' – [[Memories of Versailles]]</ref> following Charles' assassination in December 1776 by the [[American Rite of the Templar Order\|Colonial Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[QXNzYXNzaW5hdGlvbg0K]]</ref>		In the late 18th century, Versailles was the childhood home of the [[Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins\|French Assassin]] [[Charles Dorian]]'s son [[Arno Dorian\|Arno]], who was taken in by the [[Parisian Rite of the Templar Order\|French Templars]]' [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[François de la Serre]]<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' – [[Memories of Versailles]]</ref> following Charles' assassination in December 1776 by the [[American Rite of the Templar Order\|Colonial Templar]] [[Shay Cormac]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Rogue]]'' – [[QXNzYXNzaW5hdGlvbg0K]]</ref>

	By 1793, the [[Reign of Terror]] had plunged the former capital into a state of misery, destitution, and chaos. Crime and vandalism had become rampant, and its population had been reduced to a mere fraction of what it once was, with many either fleeing the city altogether<ref name="ACU"/> or dying at the hands of [[Aloys la Touche]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Unity'' – [[Rise of the Assassin]]</ref> The ~~Palace~~ had become a popular target for looters as well.<ref name="~~ACU~~"/>		By 1793, the [[Reign of Terror]] had plunged the former capital into a state of misery, destitution, and chaos.

	In the summer of 1855, the French Assassin [[Amira Benyamina]] traveled to the small city with [[Simeon Price]], a former [[soldier]] from the [[British Army]]. Rowing through a canal, Amira asked ~~Price~~ to perform a [[Leap of Faith]] into the waters and dive to the bottom. After grabbing mud from the bottom of the ~~waters~~, ~~Price~~ presented it to ~~Benyamina~~. Although ~~Price~~ felt down, Amira explained that his faith proved opposite and she [[Initiation into the Assassin Order\|inducted]] him into the Brotherhood.<ref ~~name="Chapter 13"~~>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 13</ref>		During his exile from the Brotherhood, Arno sought refuge in Versailles, where he was convinced by [[Élise de la Serre]] to help her fight against the radical faction of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]], which was responsible for the Reign of Terror.<ref name="Bottom of the Barrel"/> Before accompanying Élise back to Paris, Arno assassinated la Touche to end the public executions in Versailles.<ref name="Rise of the Assassin"/>

			In the summer of 1855, the French Assassin [[Amira Benyamina]] traveled to the small city with [[Simeon Price]], a former [[soldier]] from the [[British Army]]. Rowing through a canal, Amira asked Simeon to perform a [[Leap of Faith]] into the waters and dive to the bottom. After grabbing mud from the bottom of the canal, Simeon presented it to Amira. Although Simeon felt down, believing he had failed his test, Amira explained that his faith proved the opposite, and she [[Initiation into the Assassin Order\|inducted]] him into the Brotherhood.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 13</ref>

	Despite the 2014 video game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' depicting the [[French Revolution]] as starting immediately after players have completed [[Arno Dorian]]'s first [[genetic memory]] sequence with the mission "[[High Society]]", this political change is already present in Versailles when players start the sequence in "[[Memories of Versailles]]". Citizens congregate in a revolutionary mood, with some wearing {{Wiki\|Phrygian cap}}s. Others fly France's national flag instead of the [[House of Bourbon]]'s {{Wiki\|File:Royal Standard of France (early 17th-century–1789, 1814–1830).svg\|royal standard}}, even though {{Wiki\|heraldic flag}}s were used only by people of high rank to identify themselves to others of equivalent or similar status, and so it is unlikely that the common populace would have their own copies of the banner.
