Jean Delacroix was a Frenchman who joined the Spanish Assassins under Niccolò Machiavelli's mentorship in their fight against the Spanish Inquisition.
Biography[edit | edit source]
Born during the Renaissance, Jean Delacroix was a noble French knight at the court of Charles VIII. A powerful warrior and highly religious man, Jean lived by a strong moral code based on the Christian philosophy of love and compassion.[1]
The pervasive corruption of the Church distressed him and he spoke out wherever possible. As a result, the Templars used their political influence to have Jean stripped of his title and disgraced. During his trial, Delacroix met the Italian Assassin Niccolò Machiavelli, who educated him about the philosophy of humanism and the Templars' hidden activities. It was then that he learned of the Brotherhood and their mission.[1]
Machiavelli invited Jean to travel to Spain, where his strength and faith could be of service to a local Brotherhood in their fight against the evils of the Inquisition. Eager to fight this symbol of a lost and corrupt church controlled by the Templars, Jean accepted and set out to start anew in another country.[1]
Personality and traits[edit | edit source]
Jean Delacroix was a deeply religious and morally principled person, guided by his faith. Courageous and outspoken against corruption, Jean was also honorable and dignified. His willingness to learn a different philosophy showed open-mindedness, and his choice to join the Assassins demonstrated a commitment to justice and truth.[1]
Skills and equipment[edit | edit source]
When confronted, Jean would righteously strike enemies and assume a defensive position recovering lost stamina. He could also adeptly deflect blows back at enemies and through his faith could almost heal his own wounds. When cornered however, he could strike with a deadly precise attack. Jean could also recover through evasion. Jean was also skilled in the art of armorsmithing.[2]
Jean's knight armor consisted of a gorget to protect the neck; pauldrons on his shoulders, with a gardbrace on his right affixed with a Christian cross besagew; plated vambraces on his arms with his hands simply gloved; and plated greaves protecting his shins. Below this, he wore a blue-colored surcoat adorned with a golden Assassin insignia. His weapon of choice was a greatsword,[3] upgraded to perfection by the Spanish Brotherhood's own blacksmith, Bartolomé Ortiz.[4]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Jean Delacroix is a playable hero in Assassin's Creed: Rebellion, he is a legendary rarity unlockable costing 25 DNA fragments. His class is Enforcer, and his subclass is Tank. He is based on Rebellion's project content manager Jonathan Lavergne. [citation needed]
Etymology[edit | edit source]
Jean is a masculine French given name derived from the Old French Jehan. Derived from the Koine Greek Ioannes (Ιωαννης), which itself is derived from the Biblical Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning "YHWH/The Lord is Gracious".
Delacroix is a French surname meaning "of the Cross". Its Spanish variant "de la Cruz" is shared by Flora de la Cruz and Charlotte de la Cruz. Despite being a French noble, Jean Delacroix didn't display the usual Nobiliary particle (de, du, des, de la, d') in his family name. As he was stripped of his titles, "Jean de la Croix" could have possibly dropped the particle from his name after his trial.
