"Alexandre Dumas. Military hero of the new Republic. Friend of the Brotherhood. Dumas was hardcore. A war hero that stood alone against entire battalions. Napoleon compared him to a Roman hero."

―Bishop, 2014.

Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, born Thomas-Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie (1763 – 1806) was a French general during the French Revolution. Born to a French white nobleman and one of his black slaves in Haiti, Thomas-Alexandre was nevertheless raised in privilege, being brought to France where he received an aristocratic education. While a Captain in the French Army, Dumas made contact with the Assassin Arno Dorian, who helped him take down Chappe towers signaling Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick's Prussian troops to invade Paris, recover his personal correspondence, and other tasks.

Trivia

• Dumas' model is nearly identical to that of Captain Xavier, an assassination target that featured in Assassin's Creed: Unity's singleplayer demo for E3.
