Helene Dufranc

"My name is Helene Dufranc. I was born into a family of Assassins like yourself...but unlike you, I have no patience for the duties of the Order."

Helene, in Barcelona.

Helene Dufranc was a French rogue born into a family of Assassins. She trained in the arts of combat and stealth of the order, learning their ways until she left, due to her lack of interest and patience to the Order's nature. She left and sought the life of a rogue.

She first met the Assassin Ezio Auditore in Barcelona, where she stole his blade, making Ezio give chase. She then met with Ezio again in Zaragoza, where she tried to ambush the Cygnet. There, Ezio began to recognize her Assassin-like skills. After giving a fair warning, Ezio and Helene parted ways.

Their last encounter was in Granada, where she warned him about the Templars' assassination attempt on Queen Isabella during King Muhammad's abdication ceremony. Intercepting the assassins before her, Ezio was able to beat Helene.

She then finally gave herself a formal introduction to Ezio. After giving her respects to Ezio, Helene and he parted ways.
