Biography

Little is known of Quemar's early life and how he came to be an Assassin. By 1789, he had earned a position on the Assassin Council, which directed the Brotherhood's activities in Paris. With the burgeoning French Revolution, the council endeavored to keep the peace and decided to form a truce with the Parisian Rite of the Templar Order through their Grand Master François de la Serre to achieve this.

Although de la Serre was murdered shortly thereafter, the council continued to operate under the assumption that the truce was being honored. In 1791, Quemar encountered Arno Dorian, one of the Brotherhood's newer recruits, in the Café Théâtre's armor room and informed him of the history behind Thomas de Carneillon's robes, which were being kept there.

Quemar suffered from a heart condition and used small amounts of aconite as medicine. He also suffered from gout, which at times became so severe that he could not even climb a flight of stairs without assistance. For this reason, he was not a very active member of the Brotherhood, instead preferring to read and study the many volumes kept in the sanctuary. He was also very knowledgeable about Assassin history, as shown when he related the significance of robes to Arno Dorian.

Trivia
