Ulysses S. Grant (1822 – 1885), born Hiram Ulysses Grant, was an American soldier and politician. Prior to his election as the 18th President of the United States, Grant was the Commanding General of the United States Army during the American Civil War.[1]
General Grant worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War. Twice elected president, Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protect African-American citizenship, and support economic prosperity nationwide.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1863, the Assassin Eliza entrusted Grant with one of the Trident of Eden's prongs, the Brotherhood hoping that the General would use the Piece of Eden's powers to end the Civil War and reunite the country. After his success in capturing the fortress-city of Vicksburg, Mississippi, he was deemed the best bet for a Union victory.[2]
However, after his 1868 election as President of the United States, the Templars infiltrated Grant's inner circle and subsequently corrupted his administration. They helped him to master the prong's powers by giving him access to a Precursor box and pages of the Voynich manuscript. The Templars also tried to assassinate Grant's opponent Horace Greeley during the 1872 election, poisoning him and later sending their agent Alice to finish the dying man and recover the pages of the manuscript stolen in Grant's office.[3] Grant kept the prong under the floor of his cottage on Mount McGregor,[4] where it was recovered after he died.
