Charles Gabriel Sebastien Sivert, Baron de l'Esperance (1 December 1725-5 January 1791) was the colonial Governor of St. Pierre and Miquelon from 1783 to 1785, when he retired. He was also a Brigadier-General of the French Army.
Biography[]
Born on 1 December 1725 in Louisbourg, New France (present-day Canada), Sivert was the son of a lieutenant in the Swiss Regiment de Karrer. Like his father, Sivert cose to make his career in the army, serving in New France and the West Indies before returning to Europe in 1785, where he opened up a shipping business. On the eve of the French Revolution in 1789, Sivert and Le Roi des Thunes allied with the sage Francois-Thomas Germain to overthrow the old guard of the order. The two killed Grand Master Francois de la Serre at a nighttime party for his daughter Elise at his mansion, as Chretien Lafreniere's letter warning Francois never arrived. Sivert gained a slash across the face from De la Serre, but Le Roi des Thunes successfully stabbed De la Serre with a poisoned needle. Sivert was now hunted by Assassin Order member Arno Dorian, who was raised by De la Serre as a son. In 1791, Dorian gained his chance when he found out that Sivert was supposed to meet with Templar member Duchesneau in the Notre Dame Cathedral confession room to discuss a deal with other Templars.

Sivert's death
On 5 January 1791 assassin Arno Dorian entered the Notre Dame cathedral in hopes of assassinating Sivert. Dorian killed Duchesneau after finding out about the plan to meet Sivert in the confession chambers, and he entered the room in the place of Duchesneau. Dorian spoke in the disguise of Duchesneau and Sivert had a brief conversation about the deal with him. Eventually, Dorian reached through the window and stabbed him in the side of the face with a hidden blade, killing him. Dorian found out about Le Roi de Thunes' involvement in the assassination of De la Serre, and set out to hunt him down next.
