Biography
Around 1140,[1] Suger found an Isu Temple beneath the Basilica of Saint-Denis, managed to enter it with the matching key, and discovered the Head of Saint Denis, a lantern containing an Apple of Eden. The abbot used the knowledge he gained from the Apple to create the Eagle of Suger, a powerful sword,[2][3] and ordered Parisian goldsmiths to create a gold mount for an antique vase in which he hid the sword.[1] Moreover, his architectural redesign of the Basilica, generally considered to be the first Gothic church,[4] also came from visions induced by the artifact.[2]
Eventually, Suger decided to hide the sword he had created, but left behind a series of clues, allowing the Assassin Arno Dorian to later retrieve the Eagle of Suger from a secret chamber within the Basilica during the French Revolution.[2]
