In 1803, Philippe D'Estaing made an announcement to the family about who would control the estate upon his death. He told his adopted son, Morgan, that it would be his younger brother, Bernard, who would inherit, since he was actually of D'Estaing blood.
Furious, Morgan believed that he shouldinherit as he'd been long expecting, since he was the oldest. Philippe told him he would get a monthly allowance, but Morgan was none to pleased, and stalked away. Later that night, Morgan went to his brother's bedroom and tried to smother him with a pillow.
Philippe discovered the murder attempt and stabbed Morgan to death in order to stop him. Morgan, however was a latent Immortal, who revived later, in his coffin. Xavier St. Cloud, saw potential for his kind of training in the new Immortal. He introduced himself to Morgan and told him what he was. Morgan became Xavier's student, and pushed for immediate revenge against his family. Xavier told Morgan that he must be patient.
Three years passed, and Morgan and Xavier returned to the Chateau D'Estaing, where the D'Estaings were about to flee encroaching English troops. Xavier asked Philippe where the rest of his wealth was. After the threat of torture, Phillipe revealed all. Xavier suggested they have a drink of wine to show they are still civilized, but the wine was poisoned and the whole family died.
