Armand Bouchart: Difference between revisions
Hello, just adding the VA. As seen to be by this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfTELzYrHxE, it seems this guy was voiced by Gavin Hammon who also voiced Kenny fro walkingdead and Beast from the wolf among us. |
imported>Stormbeast m The fact that I can find nothing on this guy online to confirm this, added that the video doesn't look like it comes from an official YT channel and that they captioned it "AC2: Discovery" makes me have serious doubts. |

Armand Bouchart (unknown - 1193) was the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, succeeding Robert de Sable, following the latter's death in 1191.
During his tenure, Armand purchased the entirety of the island of Cyprus, bringing it under his Order's control.
Biography
Armand bought Cyprus from King Richard the Lionheart, shortly after he had captured it from Isaac Comnenus. Upon arriving in Cyprus, Armand established his own rule alongside his fellow Templars and lieutenants: Moloch, Shalim, Shahar, and Frederick the Red. Together, they sought to locate and evacuate all the artifacts hidden within the sacred Templar Archive.
After the death of Frederick, Armand made a public announcement, threatening to tighten the security on the island. He also murdered Osman in the middle of his speech, sending a warning to the Cypriot Resistance. Shortly afterwards, the Templar Maria Thorpe pleaded with Armand for her safety from the Assassins, though the Grand Master only accused her of conspiring against their Order, and she was taken away. Armand then left for Kyrenia, where he would meet with more of his allies.
As Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad infiltrated Buffavento Castle, he overheard Armand and Shalim discussing their plan to send a bag to Alexander of Limassol, prompting the Assassin to suspect Alexander of treachery. By the time Armand had completed his plans and evacuated all of the Cyprus artifacts, Altaïr caught up to him and the two dueled, resulting finally in Armand's death within the Templar Archive.
Trivia
- Historically, it was Robert de Sable who bought Cyprus from King Richard I. Armand merely served under Robert's reign, as the latter was still Grand Master of the Templars at the time.
- Cyprus was only headed by 14 to 20 Templar soldiers alongside Armand, while Robert de Sable was the general of the mainland forces.
