The unnamed agent employed by Armand Bouchart, Grand Master of the Templar Order, was Bouchart's best man and a covert agent that specialized in espionage and assassination. He was stealthy, an incredibly fast killer, and a spy who was able to easily escape from Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad not only once, but twice. He wore his Order uniform most of the time, and usually hid his face.
His mission was to infiltrate and sabotage the Cypriot resistance, which he achieved by killing Barnabas and impersonating him. Under this disguise, he misled Altaïr, whom he manipulated to kill Jonas, a popular merchant in Kyrenia.
Later, he met Altaïr again and killed an important person that the Assassin had intended to interrogate. Finally, Armand Bouchart's agent killed Alexander, the leader of the resistance, and prepared a trap for Altaïr near to the entrance of the Templar Archive.
There, he revealed himself as the one posing as Barnabas, and he was sure that he would kill Altaïr, though he ended up being stabbed from behind by Maria Thorpe before their fight could even begin.
Trivia
- Armand Bouchart's agent was the only major enemy that isn't killed by Altaïr, but by an ally instead, being Maria.
- His true name was unknown. When asked, he replied, "What did I tell you in Kyrenia? Was it... Barnabas?"
