After the downfall of Maximilien de Robespierre, knowledge of Germain's garrison, the Temple, was exposed to Arno Dorian and Elise de la Serre, who both infiltrated the Temple on their own and attempted to assassinate Germain; it was during this endeavor that Germain was tracked by Arno to the Temple's rooftop.

Faced with the choice of helping Arno free himself or preventing Germain's escape, Élise initially went to aid Arno, but soon changed her mind, engaging in a sword-on-Sword duel with the Templar Grand Master. In the exchange of blows, Élise managed to damage the Piece of Eden, so much so that when Germain attempted to use the artifact's lighting to prevent himself from coming to harm, the resulting explosion that occured badly injured himself and killed Élise; just prior to the blast, Arno succeeding in breaking free, but arrived too late to stop the event happening.
Mournfully, Arno looked over to the body of his dead love, before turning to assassinate Germain in the latter's disabled state with his Hidden Blade. In a bizarre deviation from gathering the memories of his previous targets, Arno witnessed Germain speaking directly to him in his mind, who then elaborated on the memory of the First Civilization and explained its driving factor in his motivation to purge the Templar Order.
