In the resulting fight, Chauvelin was killed, and the Crimson League could continue its operations unopposed.[1]
Later, however, Arno discovered the fact that the Crimson Rose and the other members of the League—such as the Comte de Choisy—were all Templars. He consequently killed all the members, including the Crimson Rose himself, thus completing Chauvelin's task.[2]
