Geoffrey LeCroix François de Bullion was a French Templar operating in the city of Paris during the Revolution. He was the second son of Andrés and Quintina de Bullion, the younger brother of Louis-Dominique, Madeleine, and the older brother of Élise François de Bullion.
With his siblings and parents dead in 1790 and his younger sister out of France, Geoffrey inherited the income of the Bullion-family – this included the estate in Paris, the Luxembourg Palace. Because of his location, he became the key-financier of the Luxembourg fighters, and became the lover of Madeleine de Gambais.
After surviving two assassinations while serving the Order, Geoffrey left them for the Assassins.
He is the direct ancestor of the Assassin Madeleine François.
