Beauvais' death

Gwenael Beauvais was born in Paris, and was an upper-class citizen of the Kingdom of France, living in the Vendome neighborhood. During the French Revolution, he was a reactionary and was opposed to the radical thoughts of many new French politicians. Therefore, he became an enemy of the extremists.

In January 1791, he was present in Vendome while the Palais-Royal was besieged by rioters. Then, two extremists stabbed him to death on the streets, and his death was avenged by Arno Dorian, who proceeded to kill both of the criminals.
