- "Our hopes as to the condition of the human species may be reduced to three points: The destruction of inequality between nations, the progress of equality in one and the same nation and lastly, the real improvement of man."
- ―Nicolas de Condorcet in his manuscript, 1784.[src]
Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas de Caritat, Marquis de Condorcet (17 September 1743 – 28 March 1794), commonly known as Nicolas de Condorcet, was a French mathematician, philosopher and a political scientist.
In 1793, when Condorcet was issued an arrest warrant, his academic rivals stole his research on political progress and hid it in Paris. He asked the help of the Assassin Arno Dorian to recover his papers from his rivals. Condorcet was later imprisoned and presumably killed by Templars.
After Condercet's death, the Marquis de Sade tasked Arno to retrieve one of his manuscripts, which was placed inside the tomb of King Louis IX in Franciade.
