No, but Assassin's Creed does have a tradition of being fairly accurate with historical events. This, however, is an exception.--[[User:Bovkaffe|Bovkaffe]] ([[User talk:Bovkaffe|talk]]) 22:22, November 15, 2014 (UTC) | |||

de la vs de La?[edit source]

- I would have agreed with the change, if it weren't for the fact that most sources seem to spell it with a capital. Maybe it's an older type of French, like the capitalized nouns in Black Flag's English? I don't know :P I do think we should change it back though, in this instance at least.

Profile pic?[edit source]
I understand that there may be problems trying to find a good profile picture of this guy, but I feel that the concept art is not the best substitute.

- I've asked one of our editors before, but he might've forgotten about it. I have seen the one on the Polish wiki, but I'd prefer one akin to the one of Christopher Gist, so we can see a bit more of Chevalier's upper body, rather than just the head and shoulders.
