==Biography==
===Under Mirabeau===
Little is known of Quemar's early life and how he came to be an Assassin. By 1789, he had earned a position on the Assassin Council, which directed the Brotherhood's activities in Paris. With the burgeoning French Revolution, the council endeavored to keep the peace and decided to form a truce with the Parisian Rite of the Templar Order through their Grand Master François de la Serre to achieve this.Assassin's Creed: Unity – Graduation
Although de la Serre was murdered shortly thereafter, the council continued to operate under the assumption that the truce was being honored. In 1791, Quemar encountered Arno Dorian, one of the Brotherhood's newer recruits, in the Café Théâtre's armor room and informed him of the history behind Thomas de Carneillon's robes, which were being kept in a vault there. However, said vault had not been opened for two centuries since the seal that opened it had been broken and become scattered across Paris; Arno subsequently decided to track down the fragments.Assassin's Creed: Unity – Explore the Café Théâtre
That same year, Arno brought evidence that Templar Charles Gabriel Sivert was extorting money from nobles for an unknown purpose, leading Quemar and the others to realize the truce had long been broken. They then gave the young Assassin permission to track down de la Serre's killers, but were outraged when Arno's zeal in this matter caused him to pursue targets without the council's permission.Assassin's Creed: Unity – The Jacobin Club
Tensions worsened on the 2nd of April, when Arno brought his lover and Templar Élise de la Serre to the Assassin headquarters underneath the Sainte-Chapelle. Mirabeau saw in this an opportunity to renew the truce, but Quemar and the other council members opposed the idea.Assassin's Creed: Unity – A Cautious Alliance Later that day, Quemar was visited in the Assassin sanctuary by Arno, who informed him that Mirabeau had been murdered.Assassin's Creed: Unity – Meeting with Mirabeau
Initially intent on summoning the rest of the council, Quemar agreed to give the young Assassin a day to find the killer. When informed that Mirabeau had been poisoned with aconite, he suggested Arno visit an apothecary in Le Marais, from whom Quemar himself occasionally procured aconite to treat his heart condition. Arno eventually discovered it was Pierre Bellec who had poisoned Mirabeau and, during a confrontation at Sainte-Chapelle, struck down his former mentor, leaving the council deprived of two of its members.Assassin's Creed: Unity – Confrontation
===Under Trenet===
In the aftermath of Mirabeau's death, Quemar and the others uncovered his correspondences with King Louis XVI. To prevent copies of these letters from falling into the hands of the Templars, the council sent Arno to the Tuileries Palace to find and destroy them. While he succeeded in this task, Arno continued to pursue François-Thomas Germain and his accomplices, which the council had expressly forbidden him from doing.Assassin's Creed: Unity – The King's Correspondence
After the execution of Louis XVI in 1793, the council confronted Arno about his actions, with Quemar claiming he had only joined the Brotherhood for revenge, not because he shared the Brotherhood's ideals. Sophie Trenet, who had inherited Mirabeau's position, then called for his expulsion, to which both Quemar and Guillaume Beylier agreed, causing Arno to be banished from the Parisian Brotherhood.Assassin's Creed: Unity – Bottom of the Barrel Arno was later reinstated, after he reformed and demonstrated true fidelity to the Creed.Assassin's Creed: Unity – The Temple
