'''Nikola Tesla''' (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, and a mechanical and electrical engineer. Tesla planned to create a worldwide network able to transmit information and electricity to anywhere on the planet, the knowledge of which came from a [[Fourth Apple|Piece of Eden]] he had acquired.

==Biography==
===Early life===
Born in Smiljan, [[Croatia]], Tesla was one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern [[Wikipedia:Alternating current|alternating current]] (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution, and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution. He also invented the first light bulb, but his apprentice: Thomas Edison stole his idea and got all of the credit. Modern Archeologist have discovered many blue prints for time travel devices puzzling the scientists making them wonder if time travel is realy possible. Tesla was one of the greatest inventers of his time and ours.

===Acquiring a Piece of Eden===
Tesla planned to create a worldwide network able to transmit information and free electricity to anywhere on the planet, the knowledge of which came from a [[Fourth Apple|Piece of Eden]] he had acquired. According to [[Subject 16]], Tesla found the Piece of Eden in [[Croatia]]. The [[Templars]], most prominently [[Thomas Edison]], opposed this idea, as it would be a serious impediment to the Templar goal and Edison's ideals. To this end, Edison demonstrated a series of experiments, such as the electrocution of a circus elephant, that he released as proof that Tesla power was dangerous, causing public disapproval towards Tesla's invention. Tesla's Apple of Eden seemingly disappeared, along with some of his designs.

===Working with the Assassins===
Later on, the [[Assassins]], including [[Nikolai Orelov]], contacted Tesla and enlisted his help in destroying both the recently located [[the Staff|Staff]] and Templar constructed Tesla coil using his powerful particle beam weapon. He fired the machine from America with the words "Rot in hell, Thomas". The resulting explosion became known as the [[Tunguska explosion]], which, according to Orelov, destroyed the Staff completely. A shard of it would later be possessed by the infamous monk Rasputin.
