Hook
Hook (died 14 July 1789) was an English bounty hunter working with Harvey during the French Revolution. The British Templar Carroll family hired the pair hoping to avenge their daughter May after the French Templar Élise de la Serre killed her in combat, intending to kill Élise and the people she associated with, her guardian Frederick Weatherall and her maid Hélène.
Biography[edit | edit source]
The two men traveled to Paris in 1789 and used the lootings that followed the storming of the Bastille to pose as commoners sleeping off their wine in the de la Serre estate after it had been sacked. Waiting there for Élise's return, the hitmen captured the young Templar when she came back to her house and prepared to torture and kill her as ordered by Mrs. Carroll.
However, Élise took advantage of a momentary distraction from Hook, who was bodily searching her while Harvey held her at gunpoint, to attack the man and thus prevent Harvey from instantly shooting her. During the brawl, Élise used a broken banister strut to deal a mortal blow into Harvey's eye and succeeded to recover her pistol while Hook was doing the same. Holding each other at gunpoint, Élise used the former British Assassin Bernard Ruddock's timely arrival to shoot a distracted Hook in the mouth, instantly killing him.
