In this installment, the player first sees a memory from 1307 where a sword and a book are being hidden in a crypt in France. The player is then contacted by the Brotherhood and informed that Abstergo is searching for the corpse of a Sage in order to obtain precursor DNA from it for what is called the Phoenix Project.

We are then introduced to the memories of Arno Dorian, the son of a French nobleman in 1776. Arno’s father was an Assassin, unbeknownst to Arno himself, and his father is murdered. Arno is taken in by Templar Grand Master De La Serre who knows the truth about Arno’s heritage.

Years later, Arno is supposed to deliver a message to De La Serre but neglects to do so. He finds De La Serre dead and is wrongfully accused of his murder. While imprisoned in the Bastille, he befriends a prisoner named Pierre Bellec, an Assassin, and they escape together during the Storming of the Bastille.

Arno joins the Brotherhood and sets out to assassinate those responsible for De La Serre’s death. He frees François-Thomas Germain, a prisoner of Grand Master Lafreniere, and kills Lafrenierre himself. He learns, however, that the prisoner he freed is actually the Sage and he killed Lafrenierre wrongfully. This fatal error causes Arno to track down Germain as well as rescue his long-time love, Elise.

Together, Arno and Elise track down Germain and they assault him. Germain has the Sword of Eden which Germain uses to temporarily incapacitate Arno and kill Elise, but Arno ultimately kills Germain. Arno puts his skeleton in the Catacombs of Paris which means Present day Abstergo will never find his corpse.
