Armand Bouchart (died 1191) was the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, succeeding Robert de Sable.

Biography

Armand bought the island Cyprus from Richard the Lionheart after he had captured it from Isaac Comnenus.

Upon arriving in Cyprus, Armand established his own rule alongside his fellow Templars and lieutenants: Moloch, Shalim, Shahar and Frederick the Red. Together, they sought to locate and evacuate all the artifacts hidden within the sacred Templar Archive.

Upon the death of Frederick, Armand Bouchart made an announcement, threatening to tighten the security on the island. He also murdered Osman in the middle of his speech, sending a signal to the Cypriot Resistance. Maria Thorpe then pleaded with Armand for her safety, though Armand accused her of conpiring against their Order, and she was taken away. Bouchart then left for Kyrenia, where he would meet with more of his allies.

As Altaïr infiltrated Buffavento Castle, he overheard Armand and Shalim discussing their plan to send a bag to Alexander of Limassol, prompting the Assassin to suspect Alexander of treachery.

Not long after that, Altaïr started conferring with several pirates to find out Bouchart's whereabouts, planning to assassinate the Grand Master.

By the time Armand had already completed his plans and evacuated all of the Archive's artifacts, Altaïr caught up to him and the two dueled, resulting finally in Armand's death.

Final Words

Altaïr strikes Armand.
  • Armand: You are a... a credit to your creed, Altaïr.
  • Altaïr: And you have strayed from yours.
  • Armand: Not strayed, expanded. The world is more complicated than most dare admit. And if you, assassin, if knew more than how to murder, you might understand this...
  • Altaïr: Save your lecture on virtue for yourself, and die knowing I will never let the apple fall into any hands but my own!
  • Armand: Keep it close, Altaïr. You will come to the same conclusions we did... in time...

Trivia

  • In real life, it was Robert de Sable who bought Cyprus from King Richard I. Armand merely served under Robert's reign, as the latter was still Grand Master of the Knights Templar at the time.
  • Cyprus was only headed by 14 to 20 Templar soldiers alongside Armand, whilst Robert de Sable was the general of the mainland forces.
