Biography[]
Sir Guy de Saint-Michel was a Templar Knight who specialized in the occult and dark magic. His reputation was said to be the cause of the Knights Templar's downfall, which resulted in the death of its Grandmaster, Jacques de Molay, in 1314. Following this event, the remnants of the Knights Templar scattered across Europe to hide their remaining relics. Guy, alongside his four bastard sons, traveled south, carrying with him an amulet known as "Obscurus Altilium". Guy settled at a new city, that would be known in the future as Avalon, where he resided in a citadel, and ruled over the state. Despite owing much of his success to his sons, Guy never acknowledged them officially, nor even knighted them, despite their best efforts to win his favor. Instead, Guy only saw them as his enforcers, denying them a father's affection.
At some point prior to his passing, Guy passed down his most treasured weapons to his sons, a set of blades known as The Bastard Swords, each of which required completing a separate ritual to activate its true form. He also left the Obscurus Altilium to one of the sons, knowing that they would fight each other to obtain it. Guy left behind an astral recording of himself, speaking to the would-be winner of that conflict, while tasking them with completing one last trial to acquire the amulet: defeat its Guardian, a stone golem that Guy created himself.
Following Guy's death, his citadel would fall into the hands of the bastard sons' descendants, who would later found the French Syndicate. The citadel eventually was abandoned, only used by the Syndicate for illicit activities. In spite of this, they never managed to uncover Guy's secrets, including the treasures he left behind. It was not until February 1991 that they were uncovered by the Requiem team, who was instructed by Professor Gabriel Krafft to acquire the Obscurus Altilium. After recovering the Bastard Swords, Requiem found Guy's astral recording, hidden within a key that they later used to summon the Guardian.
