Margaux

Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service? This article has a lot of room for expansion. Please improve it with additional information in accordance with the Manual of Style

Margaux (born c. 1593) was the adoptive daughter of Catherine and the younger sister to Ermeline, as well as a member of the French Brotherhood of Assassins. Both sisters were raised in the Landes region of France, but while Ermeline dreamt of settling in a town, Margaux flourished in the simple life they led. In 1609, her mother was accused of witchcraft and taken to Bayonne, where she was burned alive as part of the Labourd witch-hunt of 1609. The Templar responsible, Pierre de Lancre, captured Ermeline as a hostage while Margaux managed to flee. She was taken in by Nicodemus, an Assassin close to her mother, who then began training her in the ways of an Assassin.

After meeting Avicenne, the Mentor of the Brotherhood at the time, and having witnessed her sister using a strange shroud, Margaux, wanting to free her sister from her captors, pleaded with Avicenne to interfere. Though Avicenne originally chose to not have the Brotherhood go against Pierre de Lancre, instead only ordering Nicodemus to train Margaux, having recognized her as the daughter of Florine, a notoriuos French Assassin, when Margaux confronted him with her sister's ability to also use the Shroud, he relented, telling her they would meet again in a week, after some information-gathering.

After meeting Fabrizzio Auditore, an Italian Assassin and assassinating Pierre de Lancre, Margaux travelled to America, in order to hide the shroud. From there on, she served as the founder and one of the first members of a precursor for the Colonial Brotherhood

Behind the scenes

• While her biological mother was stated to be the late Assassin Florine, the identity of her father is not revealed in the book. Yet, it is strongly implied that Isaac was in fact her father.
• Margaux had a very high count of Isu DNA, having naturally developped Eagle Vision during infancy. She was able to activate the Shroud enthrusted to her adoptive mother in mere seconds while it took up to twenty minutes to Catherine and her adoptive sister, who both had an above average count.
