I doubt Ubisoft are actually going to make it their mission to root out these characters and craft another story around them because right now, they're worth nothing.

They may as well just make the french comics as a whole non-canon and stop messing about. Even I'm doubtful they're going to carry on calling the new Conspiracies comic canon because of Nikola Tesla being in them, since his inclusion is wholly counterproductive to his motivations in the series prior to this, and I'd much rather Ubisoft not even endorse those comics than announce them and have to go back on it.

The issue is that Aquilus is acknowledged as an ancestor of Desmond's in various media. I'm very doubtful they'll ever pick up on these characters too.

As for Conspiracies, having read it myself I can say it fits into the canon perfectly without any inconsistencies. It even acknowledges the French Revolution as a Templar conspiracy in reference to Unity. Tesla working for the Templars is surely a red herring that'll have further elobaration later on.
