Massanet was recruited into the Watchers out of L'Université de Paris Nanterre in 1977. He was graduated from the Watcher Academy in 1978 with a class rank of 14 out of a class of 90. From 1978 to 1979, he served as an historian before receiving his first and only field assignment:
1980 - 1982: Francoise Mouchoutte
As of 1982, however, he was assigned as an investigator responsible for confirming suspected Immortals. From 1989 he was placed in charge of Special Operations. It was he, therefore, that Adam Pierson turned to during the search for MacLeod after the Dark Quickening.
Massanet's rendezvous with Pierson in Le Havre
Pierson acknowledged his request was irregular and Massanet pointed out he was not supposed to be in the field, but supplied him with the information that MacLeod had called Sean Burns.
In March 1996, Massanet filed a formal complaint about Joe Dawson "overstepping...territorial and administrative boundaries" in his use of "a mere researcher" like Pierson, "someone who can't find his way out of a library without a map," in the investigation of a Dark Quickening.
During his investigation of Watcher murders later that same year, he was himself murdered by Jacob Galati. His name is recorded in the Watchers' Hall of Martyrs.
