Historical Background
Historically, Alexander III is infamous in Russia for instuting pogroms against the Jews and overturning many of the reforms set in place by his father, Alexander II. The Tsar came to power just two weeks after his father had been murdered by revolutionaries. Alexander took revenge by executing the assassins, then built the massive cathedral of the Church of the Holy Savior of Spilled Blood on the site in St. Petersburg (Petrograd) where his father had been murdered. He then set about to stamp out all traces of revolutionary fever in Russia, while simultaneously continuing the policy of forced industrialization that his father had begun years before.
Alexander III was eventually stalked by remnants of the same circle of revolutionaries who'd killed his father. Through his secret police, the Tsar learned they plotted to kill him as well; he had them rounded up and executed. Unfortunately for Russia's future, one of the executed revolutionaries left behind a devoted younger brother who would change Russia and the world under his Marxist nom de guerre, Vladimir Ilich Lenin.
After a violent reign of thirteen years, Alexander died in 1894, leaving the throne to his eldest son, Nicholas II. The exact circumstances of Alexander's death will likely be revealed in Assassin's Creed: The Fall.
