Pierre Bellec (1741 – 2 April 1791) was a French-Canadian Master Assassin, and a former colonial soldier, who was active during the French Revolution.
Born in New France and having discovered his Assassin lineage while partaking in the Seven Years' War as a corporal, Bellec was careful not to rise in the ranks, being more useful to the Brotherhood as a nondescript soldier. He came to France just in time to escape the purge of the Colonial Assassins, and trained many Assassins for the French Brotherhood, including Charles Dorian and the latter's son, Arno Dorian.
Although he was passionately loyal to the cause, his view on the Assassins' philosophy was rather simplistic, bordering on fanatical, refusing to allow peace with the Templars no matter what the cost. He also showed sympathies with the Jacobins.
His views on the Assassins led to him poisoning his Mentor Mirabeau in 1791, angered that Mirabeau was friends with several members of the Templars. Bellec put the blame on Elise de la Serre, the adopted sister of Arno Dorian, as she was a Templar. Arno eventually tracked Bellec down to the Sainte-Chapelle. Bellec tried to explain that he was only doing what had happened at Masyaf, Monteriggioni, and the American Colonies in purging the old order and making it stronger. He tried to convince Arno to follow him, but Arno refused and fought him. Bellec was killed in the end, putting an end to Arno's trainer.
