Javert
Javert was a St. Bernard dog and companion animal to both the British Assassin Simeon Price and the then-former Austrian Templar Countess Konstanze von Visler.
Biography
In 1873, an adult Javert appeared to both Simeon and Konstanze one day at their cabin in the Alps. They adopted him and began a new life together over the next three years away from the Assassins' and Templars' eyes, with Javert gradually growing old but still able to bark at trespassers.[1] In September 1876, Javert joined Simeon in fleeing the cabin after the Assassin discovered Konstanze had betrayed him and the Zurich Brotherhood of Assassins in her first mission for the Assassins,[2] though Simeon did not elaborate to his allies later about Javert's existence or whereabouts.
Behind the scenes
Javert is likely named for the fictional police detective Javert in the French author Victor Hugo's 1862 novel Les Misérables, which would have been published only a decade prior to Simeon and Konstanze adopting him.
