Colette (fl. 1790's) was an informant working for the Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins during the French Revolution. The owner of Café Théâtre and Assassin Charlotte Gouze sent her to investigate Les Actes des Apôtres, a royalist group which organized crimes through Paris. Colette, posing as a war orphan, became a scullery maid for Azelma and an innkeeper, two members of Les Actes des Apôtres. She discovered information on their leader, Renard, but she was compromised by Azelma who ordered to the innkeeper to kill Colette. Gouze sent the Assassin Arno Dorian to save Colette. With the innkeeper dead, Colette could resume her work. Later she discovered that Renard wanted to sell the Sancy diamond which was stolen during the raid on the royal treasury. With this information, Arno could steal the diamond and send it far from France.[1]
