Arpinon

""Make sure that it goes smoothly." (Ass). When have I ever—"

―Arpinon complaining about Sivert's instructions, 1791.

Arpinon (died 1791) was a member of the French Rite of the Templar Order and an associate of Charles Gabriel Sivert. He was part of a group of Templars that aimed to gain recognition from the new Grand Master, François-Thomas Germain, by procuring funds from the nobility and the clergy.

Biography

Having made disadvantageous deals and subsequently extorted money from imprisoned and desperate aristocrats on the orders of Sivert, Arpinon met with his accomplice at the Conciergerie in January 1791. There, he inquired about their progress and received further instructions from Sivert, along with a ledger containing details of their operation.

Following Sivert's departure, Arpinon began complaining about his orders to make sure everything ran smoothly, taking insult at Sivert's apparent lack of faith in his abilities. At that very moment, however, the Templar was killed by the Assassin Pierre Bellec, who had spied on Arpinon and Sivert's meeting. Retrieving the ledger from Arpinon's body, Bellec and his apprentice, Arno Dorian, escaped from the Templar's oncoming guards.

Shocked by the news of Arpinon's death, Sivert's other accomplice, Duchesneau, increased security around the Notre-Dame for a meeting with him the following day.
