François de la Serre (1733 – 5 May 1789) was the Grand Master of the Templar Order during the late 18th century. He was the father of Élise de la Serre and adoptive father of the Assassin Arno Dorian. Due to his respect for Arno's biological father, François did not try to indoctrinate Arno into embracing Templar ideals, instead allowing him to have a normal childhood.
François attempted to make peace with the Assassins, but this was not accepted by other Templars. He was killed by his fellow Templars in a coup d'état instigated by François-Thomas Germain, which was followed by a shift in power and core ideologies within the Order. After the death of de la Serre, the Order split between the conservative faction led by Élise de la Serre and the followers of the new Grand Master, Germain, who wanted to encourage the rise of the middle class at the expense of the aristocracy.
