The Tragedy of Jacques de Molay was a virtual representation of one of a French Templar's genetic memories, stored in the Helix, relived by the Assassin initiate.
Description
The French Templar Esquieu de Floyrac approached the Temple in Paris.
Dialogue
- Guard: Who goes there?
- Esquieu: A friend of the Temple.
- Guard: Floyrac, the Council's message was absolute. You're not welcome here.
- Esquieu: I must speak with the Grand Master.
- Guard: He is in session. They all are. Another day, perhaps.
- Esquieu: King Philip disagrees.
- Guard: Damn, you man. Why you're not rotting in a cell at this moment, I cannot fathom–
The guard opened the door, allowing Esquieu to stab him in the back. With the guard dead, Esquieu and his forces stormed the Temple. Alerted by the ensuing battle, Jacques de Molay and his men ended their meeting.
- Jacques: We are betrayed! Draw your swords, men! Defend the Temple!
Jacques' men, along with the unidentified French Templar, began to depart.
- Jacques: Not you, brother–I have a different task for you. Come with me.
- Templar: King Philip's moving faster than we expected.
- Jacques: Mm. Another hand is at work here.
- Templar: The Pope?
- Jacques: The Assassins.
- Templar: Assassins? I thought the Mongol Khans broke their power decades ago.
- Jacques: The Assassins are far older than Masyaf, my friend. Their anarchic delusions are virulent as the plague, and less easily eradicated. We will not prevail this night. But if you make haste, we may yet save our Order.
- Templar: What must I do?
- Jacques: Go to the tower. Take the Sword and the book. Hide them. They must not fall into the Assassins' hands!
- Templar: Grand Master, I won't–
- Jacques: Go!
- Ally: Make haste, brother! Do not let the Grand Master's wisdom die with us!
The Templar ran through the battlefield, approaching the tower.
- Templar: Hold the bridge! Hold! Damn. Have to take a different way.
Employing several ladders and his freerunning prowess, the Templar scaled the building and found his way inside. Upon entering the tower, the Templar noticed smoke and more fighting inside.
- Guard: Stop him! Don't let him through!
The Templar approached a downed guard.
- Guard: The tower! They've breached the tower! They've taken the...
The Templar took notice of an Assassin, Thomas de Carneillon, who ran out the window and leapt to a nearby hay bale. The Templar followed suit and chased the Thomas, eventually engaging him in a sword fight. Being bested by the Templar, Thomas dropped the Sword he was carrying. The Templar managed to pick it up, using its power to blast Thomas off his feet. With the Sword and book in hand, the Templar returned them to their resting place in the Temple. As the Templar left the room, he noticed Jacques had been captured. Before he could rescue the Grand Master, the Templar was stopped by a revived Thomas, who stabbed him with his Hidden Blade.
Seven years later, Jacques and his affiliates were set to be burned at the stake. Before perishing, Jacques shouted to the Pope and King overseeing his execution.
- Jacques: Pope Clement, hear me! Before this year is out, you will answer for your crimes before God almighty. And you, King Philip, no punishment is too heinous for the great evil you have inflicted upon the Temple. I curse you! Curse you to the thirteenth generation of your blood! You shall be cursed!
Outcome
With the death of Jacques de Molay, the Templar Order disbanded.
