Pierre Bellec (1741 – April 1791) was a former French soldier, and a Master Assassin active during the French Revolution.
Having discovered his Assassin lineage while partaking in the Seven Years' War as a corporal, Bellec was careful not to rise in the ranks, being more useful to the Brotherhood as a nondescript soldier. Although he was passionately loyal to the cause, his view on the Assassins' philosophy was rather simplistic, bordering on fanatical, refusing to allow peace with the Templars no matter what the cost. He also showed sympathies with the Jacobin.
Personality and characteristics
Bellec was a grizzled, and argumentative individual, known for possessing a rather crude sense of humor. He also refused to put up with any unreasonable behavior from his compatriots, such as Arno Dorian.
Bellec was very extreme in his methods, refusing to believe that the Assassins and Templars could ever have peace without it implicitly meaning appeasing an enemy and thereby treason, even going so far as to poison Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, comte de Mirabeau, his own Mentor, in order to prevent peace. In contrast to this act of murder, he believed himself to be the successor to other attempts to rebuild the Assassin Order from nothing, like Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and Connor before him.
