Thomas de Carneillon (1276 – 1323) was a banker and a Mentor of the French Assassins late in the Middle Ages.
Biography
A banker from the Republic of Metz, De Carneillon participated in the plot to destroy the official incarnation of the Templar Order. All was in place when the Mentor Guillaume de Nogaret succeeded to push Philip IV of France to attack the Templars and when Benedict XI was poisoned in 1304 and was replaced by Pope Clement V, who sided with the Assassins. Thomas Carneillon did not share the enthusiasm of his brothers, fearing that the destruction of the official Order will pushes the Templars into clandestinity. As it was the case for the Assassins with the Fall of Masyaf, the Master Assassin feared that secrecy make the Templars stronger.
Nevertheless, Thomas de Carneillon provided the King Philip IV of France with a contingent of Flemish mercenaries, in fact Assassins, in order to attack the fortress of the Templar in 1307. During the attack, he attempted to steal the Sword of Eden and the Codex Pater Intellectus, from the Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay. His efforts were halted by a Templar Knight serving as the Grand Master's advisor, who managed to hide the artifacts before being slain by Carneillon.
Despite this, Carneillon's campaign successfully destroyed the Templars' public image, and drove their Order underground. Along with other Assassins, he subsequently spent a decade traveling throughout Europe, eradicating any remnants of the Templar Order that presented themselves.
