Biography
A banker from the Republic of Metz, Thomas de Carneillon participated in the plot to destroy the official incarnation of the Templar Order. He was present during the preparations for this act, during which the Mentor Guillaume de Nogaret succeeded in convincing King Philip IV of France and Pope Clement V to brand the Templars as heretics and arrest their Grand Master, Jacques de Molay. De Carneillon did not share the enthusiasm of his brothers, fearing that the destruction of the Templars' public image would push them into using more clandestine methods, and strengthen them in the end.
Nevertheless, Thomas provided King Philip with a contingent of Assassins disguised as Flemish mercenaries, in order to attack the Parisian Temple in 1307. During the attack, de Carneillon attempted to steal the Sword of Eden and the Codex Pater Intellectus, but 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, Thomas' campaign successfully destroyed the Templars' public image, and drove their Order underground. Along with the other Assassins, he subsequently spent a decade traveling throughout Europe, eradicating any remnants of the Templar Order which operated openly.
