“	We have lost ourselves in politics and revolutions. We are not a nation. But an army. And in the military, "make peace with the enemy" equals "betrayal."	„
	~ Pierre Bellec to Arno Dorian, justifying his betrayal.

“	Do you think it's the first time this's happened? The first time that the Assassins have been forced to purge their leadership? The first time that the Order has been forced to build itself back up from nothing to power?	„
	~ Pierre to Arno.

Pierre Bellec is the tritagonist of the 2014 action-adventure video game Assassin's Creed: Unity.

Bellec is a member of the Parisian Brotherhood of Assassins and Arno Dorian's mentor. Initially portrayed as Arno's disgruntled but faithful mentor, Bellec gradually displays an extremist approach to the Creed, fueled by his hatred towards the Templars after suffering many losses at their hands.

When the Assassins and Templars attempt a temporary truce in response to the French Revolution, Bellec goes rogue and attempts to murder the Assassin's leadership so he can guide the Order toward his personal perception of the Brotherhood's principles.

He was voiced by Anthony Lemke.

History[]

Background[]

Bellec emerges as a courageous soul born in New France in 1741. At the tender age of 16, fate guided him into the French colonial militia, just as the Seven Years' War raged in its fury. Her courage and dedication earned her a high mention after her participation in the Battle of Fort Bull.

However, her path was not left alone on the battlefield, but was intertwined with a startling revelation. Sometime during that tumultuous time, Bellec discovered her ancestral lineage as an Assassin and joined the mysterious Colonial Assassins. Although he rose to the rank of corporal, he chose to remain a low-ranking soldier, knowing that his skill would be more valuable in that position.

The Murder of Charles[]

Bellec found his home on the streets of Paris, rising as a Master Assassin and leading member of France's Council of Assassins. With dedication and wisdom, he assumed the important responsibility of training the Order's new apprentices, among them the young Charles Dorian, whom he took in as his ward and ward.

During a risky mission, fate brought Bellec and Charles together at a crucial moment. In the middle of a sword fight with a Templar, the young Dorian found himself in danger, but his teacher acted with precision and shot down the enemy from above, thus saving the life of his apprentice. At that moment, Bellec gave Charles a pocket watch, urging him to take care of his son and return to him safely.

However, fate had dark plans in store for Charles. In December 1776, the American Templar Shay Cormac carried out a heinous act, assassinating Charles in the Palace of Versailles. The loss of his ward affected Bellec deeply, leaving an indelible mark on his heart.

Training Arno[]

In May 1789, Bellec arranged to have himself imprisoned in the Bastille. At that very moment, a young man was thrown into his cell, accused of murder. Seizing the moment, while the young man was sleeping, Bellec found Charles's watch in his possession and realized that he was Charles's son, Arno. When Arno woke up to find his watch missing, Bellec challenged him to a duel to get it back.

The confrontation developed intensely, but it came to a sudden end when Arno urged him to return to the glyphs in the corner of the cell. It was at that moment that Bellec realized that Arno possessed Eagle Vision to see those enigmatic symbols. Impressed by Arno's gift, he returned Charles's watch, revealing to him that his father was an Assassin.

For two months, Bellec dedicated himself to training Arno in combat and instructing him about the Assassins and Templars, immersing him in a world of intrigue and ancient secrets. With patience and dedication, he also taught Arno to use his own Eagle Vision, allowing him to see beyond the obvious.

On July 14, in the midst of the revolutionary assault on the Bastille, Bellec and Arno found an opportunity to escape. Reaching the edge of the battlements, Bellec handed a medallion to Arno, telling him that he would take it to the Assassins, before taking a bold leap of faith into the moat below.

Following the path indicated by the medallion, Arno did indeed find the Assassins' headquarters under Sainte-Chapelle, exceeding Bellec's expectations. After being greeted by the members of the Assassin's Council, Arno was initiated into the Brotherhood with Bellec's testimony. As a result, Bellec was assigned to mentor and guide Arno on his path as a young Assassin.

Amid pressure from the Council of Assassins, Arno was commissioned by Mirabeau to assassinate Templar Charles Gabriel Sivert. Bellec was reluctant to give him any direct help, but advised Arno to take advantage of opportunities to fulfill his goal. If the assassination attempt failed, Bellec warned Arno that it was better to sacrifice his life than compromise the Brotherhood.

Betrayal of Brotherhood[]

Templar Élise de la Serre, daughter of the late Grand Master François de la Serre and adoptive sister of Arno Dorian, was led to the Assassins' hideout by Arno. In an attempt to achieve an alliance with the Assassins against an extremist faction within the Templar Order, Élise appealed to her reason and conviction. However, Bellec strongly opposed the idea of an alliance, expressing his reservations about the possibility of peace with the Templars.

Frustrated by the pacifist views of Mirabeau, the leader of the Assassins, Bellec made a drastic decision. He threatened an apothecary to obtain monkshood, a deadly poison. With the substance in his possession, Bellec confronted Mirabeau and gave him one last chance to change his mind. However, realizing that his words would have no effect, Bellec decided to act and slipped the monkshood into Mirabeau's drink.

Once Mirabeau ingested the poisoned wine, Bellec took it upon himself to be present during the last moments of the leader of the Assassins, paying him his final honors.

Death[]

Eventually, Arno managed to track Bellec to the Sainte-Chapelle, where the Master Assassin attempted to explain his actions. Bellec argued that he followed the example of the Assassins in Masyaf, Monteriggioni, and the Thirteen Colonies, purging the old order in order to rebuild it with greater strength, power, and conviction. Fervently, he tried to persuade Arno to join his cause, but the young Assassin refused, sparking a duel between the two.

Despite Bellec's best efforts, Arno managed to gain the upper hand in the fight and was forced to face the painful decision of taking down his former mentor. When Bellec tried to attack Élise, Arno made a difficult decision and killed him in self-defense. Before exhaling her last breath from him, Bellec praised Arno for defeating him and urged him to end his life, warning him that he would not stop if he was allowed to continue to exist.

With Bellec's death from injuries sustained in the duel, Arno honored his memory by paying him the final rites. The assassin robes that once belonged to Bellec were then given to his former apprentice, representing the passing on of the legacy and the responsibility that Arno would assume as the new Master Assassin.

Skills[]

A veteran Master Assassin of the Brotherhood, Bellec was an extremely skilled fighter and covert operative, being the best field agent the French Assassins had before Arno surpassed him. Bellec was a master swordsman and hand-to-hand fighter, being only eventually defeated by his former apprentice Arno. He was also highly skilled in espionage and tactics, having effectively run the Brotherhood's primary field operations for over a decade by the time of the start of the revolution, and was able to outsmart Mirabeau, a fellow Master Assassin and mentor of the Brotherhood, to the latter's demise. He was able to effectively hide most traces of his involvement in Mirabeau's death, with his part only discovered due to Arno's keen deductive skills assisted by his eagle vision.
