Ludger Duvernay
Ludger Duvernay (1799 – 1852) was a Canadian journalist and a member of the Canadian Brotherhood of Assassins.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1832, Duvernay posted a number of articles accusing the Canadian administration of serving the Château Clique, leading members of the local Templars at that time. The Assassins financed him, hoping to expose the government's connections to the Templars.[1]
A few weeks later, Duvernay was arrested and imprisoned on charges of spreading false information, and the Clique even rallied the public against Duvernay. The Assassins quickly freed Duvernay from jail. After his release, Duvernay founded the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Society, hoping to spiritually unify Quebec and gain independence from Canada.[1]
On 24 June 1834, Duvernay orchestrated a soirée for his secret society, rallying his followers to stand up against those he deemed oppressors.[2] Ludger later met Camille Dupuis, with whom he had two children, Guy Menard and Samuel Lucier.[3]

Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
Ludger Duvernay is a historical figure who was first mentioned in the 2010 Facebook game Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy before later appearing in the 2011 Facebook app Assassin's Creed: Revelations – Discover Your Legacy. Contrary to the app's claim that Ludger married a woman named Camille and had two boys named Guy and Samuel, in truth, he married Reine Harnois, the daughter of Captain Augustin Harnois[4] and Josephte Déjarlais,[5] and they had nine children. Five survived past infancy: Louis-Napoléon, the eldest; Ludger-Denis, who protested at his brother's inheriting the entire family business and demanded that it be split equally; Marie-Reine-Joséphine, who married the Montreal city clerk Charles Glackmeyer; Marie-Adèle-Victorine, who married Doctor Ovide Pelletier; and Franklin, who was named after the American statesman Benjamin Franklin and died while Duvernay was exiled in Lower Canada.[4]
