Biography[edit | edit source]
Circa 1593, Avicenne tasked Florine and Nicodemus with stealing a Shroud of Eden from the Templars. Due to Templar interference, however, Nicodemus had to leave the Shroud in the care of a Brotherhood ally, Catherine. It was only in 1609, after Catherine and one of her adopted daughters, Ermeline, were captured by Master Templar Pierre de Lancre's witch-hunt that Nicodemus managed to deliver the Shroud to Avicenne, also bringing along Catherine's other daughter, Margaux.[2]
Margaux, wanting to free her sister from her captors, pleaded with Avicenne to interfere. Though Avicenne originally chose to not have the Brotherhood go against Pierre de Lancre, instead only ordering Nicodemus to train Margaux, having recognized her as the daughter of Florine, when Margaux confronted him with her sister's ability to also use the Shroud, he relented, telling her they would meet again in a week, after some information-gathering.[2] During that week, Avicenne and the Assassins under him managed to get the map of the castle Ermeline was being kept in and the times of the changing of the guard, as well as identify three other Templars in Pierre de Lancre's entourage and plan a rescue.[3]
However, unknown to the Assassins, Pierre de Lancre managed to discover the time and place for their meeting, launching an attack as Avicenne explained the plan to Nicodemus and Margaux. Avicenne was impaled in the chest by glass pane and died instantly.[3]
