The '''Austrian Brotherhood of Assassins''' was the branch of [[Assassins]] located in [[Vienna]], [[Austria]].

==History==
In 1851, the [[Ireland|Irish]] Assassin [[Oscar Kane]], who was stationed in Vienna, ordered a fellow Assassin, [[Henri Escoffier]], to board the [[Royal Navy]] [[frigate]] [[HMS Birkenhead|HMS ''Birkenhead'']], [[Assassination|assassinate]] a target, and find a potential recruit, [[Simeon Price]].<ref name="Chapter 13">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 13</ref><ref name="Prologue">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Prologue</ref> However, during his time in the city, Kane had secretly begun working with the local [[Templars]], providing them with information in exchange for access to their inventions. By 1852, Kane welcomed Price as his [[Assassin apprentice|apprentice]], who took on the alias "Jack Straw".<ref name="Chapter 03">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 3</ref>

Within two years, Kane began to teach Price how to be an Assassin,<ref name="Chapter 04">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 4</ref> while secretly continuing his collaboration with the Templars.<ref name="Chapter 05">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 5</ref><ref name="Chapter 07">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 7</ref> In 1853, unknown to Price, Kane, under the guise of the "Magus", manipulated the [[Hungary|Hungarian]] tailor [[János Libényi]] into plotting Emperor [[Franz Joseph I of Austria|Franz Joseph]]'s assassination, but the attempt failed.<ref name="Chapter 07"/> To cover his tracks, Kane and Price tried to save the tailor but ultimately failed, as János was later hanged.<ref name="Chapter 08">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 8</ref>

By 1854, Price had grown disillusioned with Kane and his teachings and left his mentor in order to work through his own issues.<ref name="Chapter 10">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy]]'' – Chapter 10</ref>
