Suger of Saint-Denis (c. 1081 – 13 January 1151) was a French clergyman, historian and statesman. As Abbot of the royal Abbey of Saint-Denis, he was a friend and personal advisor of Louis VII of France, and ruled France in his absence during the Second Crusade.
Suger found an Isu Temple beneath the Basilica of Saint-Denis and retrieved the Head of Saint Denis, a lantern holding an Apple of Eden, housed inside it. The abbot used the knowledge he gained from the Apple to create the Eagle of Suger, a powerful sword; moreover, his architectural redesign of the Basilica, generally considered the first Gothic church, also came from visions he had from the Apple.
During the French Revolution, the Assassin Arno Dorian solved the Abbot's riddles and retrieved the Eagle of Suger.
