Biography
Execution of Jeanne d'Arc
On the fateful day of 30 May 1431, in the Old Marketplace of Rouen, Geofrroy was yelled at by impatient onlookers to carry on with the execution.[2] When he executed who he believed to be Jeanne d'Arc, he saw that Joan's Heart refused to burn, leading him to burn the body twice more, but still the artifact stayed whole. Frightened, he threw the girl's remains and the artifact into the Seine river, though the actions would come to haunt him, fearing he would be damned for killing a holy girl.[3]
Later life
Following his career as the royal executioner, Geoffroy eventually fathered at least one child.[4]
Legacy
In 1981, his descendant Warren Vidic, a scientist who worked on Abstergo Industries' Animus Project, relived Geoffroy's memories when he volunteered as his own subject for the Animus Project. Details of Vidic's Animus session were later compiled in a series of audio files entitled "Subject Zero", and by 2013 downloaded and listened to by an Assassin-affiliated research analyst working for Abstergo Entertainment.[4]
Personality and traits
Geoffroy Thérage appeared as a formidable man, standing at a towering height of over six feet, which was considered quite imposing for his time. His robust build added to the intimidating presence he exuded, complemented by his dark hair and thick black beard.[5]
