Biography

In 1788, the Louisiana Brotherhood attempted to investigate Nuñez's suspected Templar ties, though three of their subjects of interest had been killed before they could interrogate them. As they investigated a series of grisly murders attributed to a "Rougarou", they noticed that most of the victims had connections to illicit trades and tenuous links to Nuñez himself. The Brotherhood decided to probe this lead further by infiltrating his residence near Saint Louis Cathedral. Their investigation did not take place, for as they arrived at their destination, they found the house engulfed in flames that had already spread to the municipal building, barracks, and armory nearby.

The werewolf burst out of the house and onto the street from a window, out of breath and severely burned, before both it and the Assassins were targeted by Spanish Army soldiers. Nuñez tracked the werewolf and the Assassins to a Hopewell site mound in the bayou southwest of the city, arriving there with a group of Templars to kill them and take the artifact responsible for the monster. Though he managed to ambush his targets, Nuñez was killed during the confrontation and the Templars did not manage to take the ring.
