Description
Garnier de Naplouse was exiled from France for the cruel and inhumane treatment of his patients. He viewed them less as people but as test subjects. He later re-established his mad business in the city of Acre where he treated his patients cruelly by conducting experiments on them, torturing them, and not allowing them leave (even going so far as having his men break their legs). In order to not draw attention to his acts, he forcefully took his patients from the surrounding cities of Jerusalem and Damascus with help of Talal, a fellow member of the Templars. He had been protected in Acre due to the amount of money his family had donated towards the war effort.
Though claiming to be a man of knowledge, Garnier lacked ethics. He never saw the price of knowledge as too high, even if it had to be paid with another man's blood.
Death
Garnier was assassinated within his Hospitalier Fortress by Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad while attending to his victims. Altaïr first saw him attending to a patient who was trying to escape. Garnier had his men break the man's legs so it wouldn't happen again. During his monologue after his assassination, he spoke of how he was actually helping people. He claimed that the people he took were among the poorest and most ill of the other cities, and that many have recovered and thanked him for his help. He said his methods were necessary to free people from the "prisons of their own minds".
Final Words
Altaïr: Let go your burden.
Garnier: Ah, I'll rest now, yes. The endless dream calls to me, but before I close my eyes, I must know: what will become of my children?
Altaïr: You mean the people made to suffer your cruel experiments!? They'll be free to return to their homes!
Garnier: Homes!? What homes!? The sewers? The brothels? The prisons that we would hide them from?
Altaïr: You took these people against their will!
Garnier: Yes, what little will there was for them to have. Are you really so naive? Do you appease a crying child, simply because he wails? "But I want to play with fire, father". What would you say? "As you wish"? Ah, but then you'd answer for his burns.
Altaïr: These are not children, but men and women, full grown.
Garnier: In body, perhaps, but not in mind, which is the very damage I sought to repair. I admit, without the Piece of Eden - which you stole from us - my progress was slowed. But there are herbs, mixtures and extracts. My guards are proof of this: they were madmen before I found and freed them from the prisons of their own minds... And with my death, madmen they will be again.
Altaïr: You truly believe you were helping them?
Garnier: It's not what I believe... it's what I know.
Trivia
- Garnier de Naplouse (also known as Garnier de Nablus) was a real-life leader of the Knights Hospitalier, who ruled from 1190 to 1192. In contrast to the in-game depiction, the real-life Garnier was a courageous and brave individual who led the Hospitallers and the Crusaders to many victories: not a sadistic and cruel individual as portrayed in the game.
- It is much easier to air assassinate Garnier de Naplouse than to assassinate him from the ground, because his "patients" will push you around which will blow your cover very easily.
