"Don't you think it's a little strange that the same night his uncle threatens you, he ends up murdered by a sword?"
Kate Bishop to Eleanor Bishop[src]

The Assassination of Armand Duquesne III is the murder of Armand Duquesne III by Eleanor Bishop on behalf of Wilson Fisk.

Background[]

"I've got powerful friends, too. The kind you don't want to mess with."
Armand Duquesne III to Eleanor Bishop[src]

During a charity gala, Armand Duquesne III had an argument with Eleanor Bishop.[2] He told Bishop that he was aware of her connections with Wilson Fisk.[3] Duquesne then proceeded to threaten Bishop and walked away.[2]

Assassination[]

"I handled Armand like you asked."
Eleanor Bishop to Wilson Fisk[src]

At the request of Wilson Fisk, Eleanor Bishop went to Armand Duquesne III's brownstone and stabbed him.[3] She left his body laying in the brownstone and left.[2]

Aftermath[]

"A major NYPD investigation is underway. New York socialite Armand Duquesne was found dead in his home last night. Witnesses saw a mysterious figure leaving the scene. The description matches the masked assailant from last night's auction robbery. These two events have officials wondering if indeed, the Ronin has returned to New York City, if he may be responsible for Armand Duquesne's death, and what he may do next."
Pat Kiernan[src]

Kate Bishop discovered Armand Duquesne III's body in his home, causing her to begin investigating into the murder.[2] Suspecting Jack Duquesne due to the murder being performed with a sword, Bishop accused her soon-to-be stepfather of the murder.[4] She asked Clint Barton for help investigating the murder, and they investigated together but were stopped by Jack Duquesne.[5] Jack Duquesne was framed for the murder following Bishop's suspicions, but remained confident that he would be let out as he had not committed the crime.[1] Eleanor Bishop met with Wilson Fisk and asked to pull out of the organization,[3] which Yelena Belova caught on film[1] and sent to Kate. Fisk sent the Tracksuit Mafia to kill Eleanor, and Kate and Barton protected her, successfully fending them off.[3]
