This was demonstrated when Maria attempted to warn him of the Assassin presence in Limassol, but he dismissed her, quoting one of the verses of the Latin Rule, which forbade consorting with women.
Bouchart claimed that Robert de Sablé ignored that rule by taking Maria under his wing and that he would not repeat that mistake. However, despite such display in public, he ultimately heeded Maria's words and took steps to secure the Templar Archive in secret. He was also shown to be ruthless, killing Osman on the spot when the Templar questioned his plans to tighten the grip on the citizens of Cyprus to find Fredrick's killer.

He appeared to be a skilled swordsman easily defeating Maria and matching Altaïr in combat. He also possessed a type of fire grenade that he would throw at his enemies.
