Biography
Marie Levesque was the wife of Thomas Levesque, and was a merchant like her husband. Her family was affiliated with the Templar Order since the Third Crusade, and she was the only one who argued against the exile of the powerful Templar François-Thomas Germain. Marie threw in with him during his plot against François de la Serre and in 1792 participated in intrigues involving the stealing of food from peasants.

In the summer of 1792, Théroigne de Méricourt and Assassin Arno Dorian killed her assistant Flavigny to stop the riots in Les Halles caused by the stealing of bread from the people, and in October Arno found out about her involvement in the plot of stealing orders from the captain of a grain barge at the Hotel de Ville docks. The orders told Arno that she was at the Palais Luxembourg, where she stored the grain. The people believed that the royal family had hoarded the grain, adding to the anti-King Louis sentiment that could place the Templar Maximilien de Robespierre in power.

Arno was able to infiltrate the Luxembourg Palace and kill Marie in the ballroom. He found out that Louis-Michel le Peletier, Marquis de Saint-Fargeau was planning to have the King executed due to the Templars' success in their plot. Arno subsequently tracked le Peletier.
