Xavier's death

Dorian believed Xavier to be in a social club, but instead, he found Jean-Paul Marat on the third floor. He found out that Xavier was at the Palais de Justice at the executions, so Dorian headed to the crowds that watched as people were guillotined. Xavier gave speeches in front of the platform, and had a "sower of public discord" beheaded. Dorian headed to the execution, where he jumped on top of the guillotine and jumped down to impale Xavier through the neck with his hidden blades.
