Maximilien de Robespierre
With the Revolution in full swing, Arno tracks Germain to the execution of King Louis XVI, but chooses to protect Elise rather than pursue him. Elise rejects him for this, and Arno is exiled from the Brotherhood for ignoring orders, falling into a drunken depression. Arno languishes for months before he is found in Versailles by Elise. She convinces him to return as Paris is tearing itself apart during the Reign of Terror. Arno returns and, with Elise's help, discredits Maximilien de Robespierre, whom Germain, now Grand Master of the Templars, had placed in charge of maintaining chaos. After Arno and Elise find Robespierre, Elise shoots him in the jaw and makes him write down Germain's location.
