Biography

Early life

During the French Revolution, Pierre's father passed away and, in his will, stipulated that Pierre was to receive a portion of their family fortune while the remaining finances were to be controlled by a trusted family friend, Georges Villiers-Segonzac. Enraged, Pierre's mother Valérie contested the will, but ultimately lost her appeal and, with Georges' help, Pierre received the financial payments he was owed.

To make matters worse for Valérie, an old friend of hers, Lucille Thucet, later began a romantic relationship with Pierre, despite their age difference. Enamored, Pierre was accosted by his mother, who accused Lucille of being after the fortune herself.

Losing his mother

During a dinner party, Pierre was one of the guests in attendance and witnessed his mother suddenly die in the garden. The crime was later investigated by the French Assassin Arno Dorian, who questioned the witnesses, including Pierre. Despite his mother's unfortunate passing, he rejoiced at the fact that he and Lucille could be together without any resistance.

After gathering all of the clues, Arno deduced that Pierre's aunt Amélie Monvoisin was the killer, having used an old family recipe to poison Valérie in the hopes of inheriting the fortune. Despite Amélie attempting to frame Georges to cover her crime, she was arrested and imprisoned for the murder.
