Thomas Lévesque (née Lobit) was a French nobleman and the husband of the merchant Marie Lévesque.
Biography
Thomas was born to the Lobit family, who, by the 1770s, had become ennobled and prosperous. In the meantime, the Lévesque family was struggling financially and married their daughter, Marie, to Thomas in 1771. At the insistence of her father, Thomas took her bride's surname. Eager for legitimacy among the nobility, the Lobits agreed.
After the French Revolution broke out, Thomas discovered that Marie was a member of the Templar Order and was engineering famine to stir discontent among the populace to incite violence and anarchy. To keep him from interfering, Marie had Thomas imprisoned in the Luxembourg Palace, where she was hoarding grain and hosted a party. When the Assassin Arno Dorian infiltrated the palace to kill Marie, he freed Thomas, who warned him of Marie's capabilities.
