Biography
François was born as a minor nobleman in 1733. He owned an estate in Versailles and a smaller house in Paris, and was married to fellow Templar Julie de la Serre. At some point, he became a close confidant of King Louis XVI and the Assassin Mentor, Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau.
In 1776, the Assassin Charles Dorian was murdered by Shay Cormac, and François adopted the former's son, Arno. Out of respect for Arno's father and at the request of his wife and daughter, François did not attempt to bring Arno into the Templar Order, although he asked Élise to influence him in joining their cause. As his wife, Julie, deteriorated due to her illness, he started spending time with the boy and arranged his time table for him to take lessons from the governor and hunting.
During the Estates-General of 1789, François was a delegate for the nobility of Second Estate. He attempted to make peace with the Assassins, but this was not accepted by other Templars. He was killed by his fellow Templars in a coup d'état instigated by François-Thomas Germain, which was followed by a shift in power and core ideologies within the Order. After the death of de la Serre, the Order split between the conservative faction led by Élise and the followers of the new Grand Master, Germain, who wanted to encourage the rise of the middle class at the expense of the aristocracy.
