The Defeated General is a character briefly seen in a cutscene shortly after Alexandra Roivas found the Eternal Darkness page for Chapter 8: The Forbidden City. He was named Joseph de Molay in early builds of the game, and was intended to be a Tome Bearer.
The Gifted Knight was a Templar who was restrained by Tamerlane, but saw through his glamour and recognized Pious Augustus within. Impressed, Pious ordered the Gifted Knight to be used as the foundation for the Pillar of Flesh.
Development[]
Joseph de Molay was originally intended to have a larger role, and appeared alongside Pious Augustus and Alexandra Roivas as a playable Tome Bearer in the 2001 E3 Demo, where he could explore the Forbidden City and Oublié Cathedral. His chapter ended up cut because of the September 11 Terrorist Attacks[citation needed] and was replaced with that of Karim. According to Denis Dyack, Joseph was made primarily as E3 material, likely to test gameplay.[1]
