The Tontine

The Tontine is a faction featured in Call of Duty: Mobile.
==History==
The Tontine was once a fellowship of five who participated in the . Under the guise of religious fervor, they amassed wealth in the and used it to gain power to crush their order and erased their names from history. Working in secrecy, the Tontine infiltrated and influenced every royal court and church in Europe.
Their leader, Gideon Couteaux, was said to be the "mightiest" and "most devout" of the Tontine. However, the other Knights turned against him out of fear and jealousy. To save his life and family, Gideon fled the Tontine bringing his legendary armor with him and hiding in the French Alps. As retaliation, the Tontine hunt down Gideon's descendants ever since, including Édouard "Templar" Couteau and his daughter, Sophia.
In modern times, Fiona St. George, a descendant of one of the Tontine Knights was approached by another member, Dark Shepherd, who warned her about Templar and his daughter. Reluctant at first to pursue them, she ultimately wore her armor and ambushed the Couteaus, and Cecilia "Dame" Perrin, at a campfire in Russia. However, she was defeated, but left alive by Templar to deliver a message to the four families. Shepherd believes that Templar intends to head to the Couteau stronghold to claim the mythic Gideon armor, and orders their agents in France to be activated so that they can reclaim their 'stolen armor'. Afterwards, Shepherd orders his secretary to call Ghost.
Tempest, who is revealed to be an agent of the Tontine, is working with Edward Richtofen. Following the demise of the Director at Kestrel's hands, who is also a Tontine member, Richtofen releases Lazarus to hunt down the Phantom Corps. Lazarus succeeds in capturing David Mason, and Mason is brought to Richtofen's lab. Kestrel, in the meantime, escapes Memnos Island. 
Meanwhile, Stitch, who is now held captive by the Couteaus, is presented to Death Angel Alice as a prize. Stitch is revealed to be a Tontine lord, and after much deliberation, Alice agrees to lead the Couteaus to the stronghold where the Gideon armor is kept. While Sophia and Templar make their way to the Monastery, Stitch is kept with Dame and Alice. Unknown to them, Nyx, also revealed to be working for the Tontine, spies on the Couteau duo as they attempt to make their way to the Monastery, and she is instructed to keep Interpol agents off their tail. Back in the Solyudansk Industrial City, Templar's Shadow and Kryptis, also revealed to be Tontine affiliates, are planning a calamity that will implicate the world, having amassed large amounts of chemical weapons.
Back in Richtofen's lab, Tempest has implanted a chip in David Mason's head to study his memories in a virtual simulation. However, the simulation is cut short when Mason's memories decohere, and Tempest decides to continue the following day. Elsewhere, in Michigan, Tontine soldiers have found the Phantom Corps house, and have surrounded the house with weapons ready. As they attack, the Corps members attempt to escape through the backyard while fending off the Tontine troops. However, Wicht Warden arrives in the helicopter to reinforce them, and he attacks Alias after spotting her.
