The Silversmith

The Silversmith was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.

Description
The Assassin Council tasked Arno with investigating the silversmith, François-Thomas Germain.

Dialogue
Arno returned to the Assassin Council. Arno reached the silversmith's workplace, noticing large amounts of guards. Arno started infiltrating the workshop, eventually reaching the room where Germain was working. Arno killed the first group of guards. Arno led Germain to the exit. Arno killed the sentries on the roofs. Arno found Germain held by several soldiers. Germain killed the remaining guard. Arno and Germain made their way to safety.
 * Arno: You look terrible.
 * Mirabeau: For months, I have been wrangling the Brotherhood, the National Assembly, and the King. Taken all together they have the political acumen of an especially stupid village council. I believe that excuses my appearance, young man.
 * Arno: I meant no disrespect, Mentor. I am only... concerned.
 * Mirabeau: Forget me, Arno. Weep for France. But enough politics. I hope you have happier neews. What of (Lord) De La Serre's murderers?
 * Arno: The King of Beggars is dead. He was carrying this.
 * Beylier: (Rest in peace). You should keep it. It'll do no one any good moldering in a forgotten crypt. Carry it with honor.
 * Arno: Thank you. I will.
 * Mirabeau: The mission...?
 * Arno: The King of Beggars and Sivert were only pawns in a larger game. Someone sent them after (Mister) De La Serre.
 * Mirabeau: Templars do nothing simply, do they? Do you have anything solid on this mysterious chess player?
 * Arno: The only lead I have is the instrument that killed De La Serre. A pin fashioned by a silversmith named Germain. But how he's involved, I can't yet say.
 * Mirabeau: It seems your course is clear. Find this silversmith, learn what part he plays.
 * Arno: Well, that's not suspicious, is it?
 * Arno: (Mister) Germain? The silversmith?
 * Germain: Thank God! They've been holding me for months! Please, get me out of here!
 * Arno: First, I need to know about this.
 * Germain: No time! I'll tell you all I know once we're away, but we must leave, before the guards return!
 * Arno: Fine. Let's go.
 * Germain: No! They'll be watching the front entrance. We'll have to... go downstairs and across.
 * Arno: Follow me, then. And stay quiet.
 * Arno: Follow me.
 * Germain: As you say.
 * Germain: Keep one eye to the roofs. They often post sentries there as well.
 * Arno: Just how important are you as a prisoner?
 * Germain: Help!
 * Arno: No need to do anything foolish. Let the silversmith go.
 * Guard: Stay back!
 * Germain: God be good... what have I done?
 * Arno: Only what you had to. Come, we must go.
 * Germain: Yes, of course.
 * Germain: Thank you, my friend. You've done me a great service today.
 * Arno: Perhaps you can return the favor.
 * Germain: Yes, of course. I made the first some years ago, on a private contract for a man called Lafrenière. It seemed an unusual commission, I confess curiosity got the better of me. Recently, I started looking into Lafrenière's background and... What I discovered... you wouldn't believe it.
 * Arno: He's a Templar. Is that whay you found?
 * Germain: Yes, I... I believe so. I didn't know how to take it. In any case, I was careless and Lafrenière found out about my schemes. Kept me under house arrest ever since. I do as he bids. Weapons mostly.
 * Arno: Where can I find him?
 * Germain: Well, Lafrenière is a very difficult man to pin down. Not long ago, I overheard him talking about protecting the shipments at la Halles aux Blés. It sounded ominous, whatever he meant. If I may ask, why are you so interested in him?
 * Arno: He killed someone very dear to me. I want to know why.
 * Germain: I see. You have my sympathies.
 * Arno: They will come looking for you again. Make yourself scarce.
 * Germain: Yes. I believe I might.

Outcome
Arno freed the silversmith, who informed him about Lafrenière.
