Description

A Failed assassination attempt on her beloved.  A tragic and forbidden romance is shared between them.Heart 

Been a while.  Had a lot of trips across the state due to family affairs, but things are beginning to settle down a bit.I think I've fainted.   In the mean time, I managed to finish Assassin's Creed Unity.  Had so much fun I thought I should commemorate with a repeat of "Assassin Erza" motif. 

I styled Erza's assassin attire loosely on Arno Dorian's original outfit.

For Gerard I styled his templar gear loosely after Shay Cormac.

The Templar Shay Cormac killed Assassin Charles Dorian, Arno's father in 1776 at the Versailles Palace to retrieve the Precursor Box. Arno was later adopted by the Parisian Templar Grand Master Francois De la Serre immediately when Arno saw his biological father's dead corpse. Arno would not give the pocket watch he had to anyone. This is what actually happened:


In 1776, Arno accompanied his father in the Palace of Versailles, where Charles was attending a meeting with his fellow Assassins regarding the safety of the Precursor box, a First Civilization artifact recovered from the Colonial Templarsyears ago. In the palace, Arno met and befriended Élise de la Serre, a young noble girl who also accompanied her father to a meeting with King Louis XVI. During his absence, Arno's father was assassinated by Shay Cormac, who recovered the Precursor box from him.[2]

Arno and his father

Following the assassination, Arno was adopted by François de la Serre, the Grand Master of the Parisian Rite of the Templar Order, who kept his allegiance secret from the boy, out of respect for his father and suggestion of her daughter and wife,Julie. Arno was raised alongside Élise, with whom he bonded over the years. However, he remained distraught after the loss of his father, and wrote letters to him upon François' suggestion, in order to cope with his grief.[1]

When Julie fell ill, Élise stopped playing with him and spent her time at her mother's bedside. Arno, who barely knew Julie and was forbidden to enter her room, spent his days alone. François, distraught with his wife, found comfort in being Arno's guardian. He began training the boy, sparring with him and teaching him how to hunt. The Grand Master found hope for the boy to join the Order, and arranged Arno's timetable so he could train with the governor.[3]

Julie's death hardly gave Arno a thought, and was only a mere inconvenience to him since François and Élise stopped playing with him. When Élise was sent to Maison Royale de Saint-Louis school at Saint-Cyr to continue her education, she sent letters to Arno regarding her negative feelings for the students and teachers.[3]

By 1788, Arno moved away from the de la Serre household to the digs of the villages where he spent his days and nights drinking, playing cards and entertaining women. He still kept contact with his surrogate father François and Élise.[3]

One year later, having lost his father's watch in a card game to two brothers, Hugo and Victor, Arno endeavored to steal the memento back, but was discovered. When his pursuers chased him back to the de la Serre mansion, François attempted to mediate the situation, assigning Arno to assist his butler, Olivier, with chores, which entailed cleaning the horses for François' carriage ride to meet Élise.[1]

Arno agreeing to deliver the message

As François left, a Templar messenger, Perrault, arrived in an attempt to deliver a letter from Chrétien Lafrenière, which Arno volunteered to deliver. Unfortunately, Hugo and Victor cornered him before he could reach François. Though he bested his attackers, he was forced to flee from the guards. Returning to the mansion, Arno decided to slip the letter under the door to François' study, confident that it would be found upon his return.[1]

That evening, Arno infiltrated the Palace of Versailles in order to attend the party held in Élise's honor. After sharing a romantic moment with her, he forced to evade the guards upon being discovered. At the courtyard, Arno came upon a mortally wounded François de la Serre, mistaking his state for intoxication. As François collapsed and Arno rushed to help him, one of the attackers, Charles Gabriel Sivert, called out to the guards, who assumed Arno was responsible for François' death. They subdued the young noble and subsequently imprisoned him in the Bastille.[1]

I copied and pasted because there was not enough time for me to explain in detail.

Arno even lost his stepfather in the process. Elise lost her biological father and became a Templar and love interest of Arno shortly after to find the murderers of both Charles Dorian and Francois De la Serre.

Confirmed by Assassin's Creed Unity novel and the game itself.
