Oscar Kane was obsessive about science and dedicated most of his time to educating himself further, inventing new devices, and performing scientific experiments.<ref name="Chapter 06" /> As the Magus, Oscar Kane has shown himself to be a master of manipulating people to the point where it was akin to brainwashing. He revealed that he sought out Simeon only because of his connection of Ada. He was even responsible for radicalizing people like [[János Libényi\|Libényi]] and [[Felice Orsini\|Orsini]] to commit [[Assassination attempt on Franz Joseph I of Austria\|acts]] of [[Orsini affair\|terror]].

			He held strong connections in the world of Assassins and the world of the Templars, but was never fully integrated with either of them.<ref name="Chapter 06" /> Despite being a secret member of the Templar Order, Oscar Kane never fully trusted them and even went as far as to state to Simeon that he only used with them for their innovations. However, it became clear to him and Simeon that even the Templars were using him as well by feeding him some false information. Oscar Kane went on to rant about how his grand scheme was about forcing people to rise up against their masters and so that the working people will never be under the rule of a tyrant ever again.<ref name="Chapter 27" />
