Pious Knight
Born during the Renaissance, Jean Delacroix was a noble French knight at the court of Charles VIII. A powerful warrior and highly religious man, Jean lived by a strong moral code based on the Christian philosophy of love and compassion.
The pervasive corruption of the church distressed him and he spoke out wherever possible. As a result, the Templars used their political influence to have Jean stripped of his title and disgraced.
During his trial, Delacroix met Machiavelli who educated him about the philosophy of humanism and the Templars' hidden activities. It was then that he learned of the Brotherhood and their mission.
Machiavelli invited Jean to travel to Spain, where his strength and faith could be of service to a local Brotherhood in their fight against the evils of the Inquisition. Eager to fight this symbol of a lost and corrupt church controlled by Templars, Jean accepted and set out to start anew in another country.
