Following a successful Templar attack against the Assassins and their recovery of the Shroud of Eden, Pierre de Lancre had François Ascair sent to the Castle of Saint-Pée with the Piece of Eden for safekeeping along with Templar reinforcements from Bordeaux and .

Meanwhile, a group of ten Assassins led by Fabrizzio Auditore and including Margaux, planned a full-scale infiltration of the castle, wanting to take those remaining at the fortress by surprise and preventing from calling on reinforcements while recovering the Shroud of Eden. Playing to their strength in stealth, the group managed to take care of a great number of sentries, essentially halving the numbers of enemies at the location, though eventually the alarm was raised.Assassin's Creed: Fragments – The Witches of the Moors – Chapter 19 - Margaux
François Ascair was stationed outside Ermeline's bedroom at the castle, along with other four soldiers, surprising Margaux and Fabrizzio as the pair tracked down the Shroud. François and Fabrizzio taunted each other before two other Assassins emerged and killed two of the five enemies in the room. Ascair rushed Auditore and Margaux slipped into the bedroom, where she fought Ermeline for the Shroud, emerging victorious.
