The following day, while the group sparred with each other in one of the courtyards, they were later informed of Antoine Moreau's death and how Jeanne predicted his death when she spoke to him. Meanwhile, Gabriel was initially asked by Jean about what he saw during the meeting but remained silent about it. Within moments, Gabriel was knocked out and brought by Metz to his Mentor as they discussed helping Jeanne as best they can. Confused, Gabriel was informed about their war against the Templars and how to keep his promise to protect Jeanne.Assassin's Creed: Heresy — Chapter 10
When Gabriel agreed, he was released and was told they were in the dungeon that held de Molay. Alone, he and Metz tried to read de Molay's drawing with Gabriel's Eagle vision but to no success.
