Biography
Childhood
Shortly after his birth, an unnamed child was stolen from the maternity ward by the organization known as the Thieves' Guild, who believed him special due to his red eyes (which earned him the nickname of "Le Diable Blanc" or "The White Devil"). It was believed by many in the Thieves' Guild that Le Diable Blanc would be the man who would unite the Thieves' Guild and the Assassins' Guild, who were constantly at war with each other. Soon after he was raised by one of the Thieves' Guild's smaller street gangs who raised the child.
When the boy attempted to steal from Jean-Luc LeBeau, who was in fact the leader and patriarch of the Thieves' Guild, Jean-Luc adopted the boy and named him Remy LeBeau.
