History
3rd century
In mid-to-late 3rd century, the Roman bishop of Lutetia Saint Denis was beheaded and martyred in Montmartre for his faith. Legend then tells that he picked up his head and walked to the village of Catolacus, later Saint-Denis, where he finally collapsed and was buried.[1]
19th century
In 1889, the British Assassin Simeon Price found a residence there while working low-level missions for the French Brotherhood under Master Assassin Michel Moulin. He was soon visited by French Assassin and friend Fabrice Sabourin, who informed him of his task to find and assassinate Simeon's former partner Austrian Templar Countess Konstanze von Visler, who arrived in Paris for the Gallery of Machines. Agreeing not to interfere, Simeon knew better and left to locate her hotel room near the gallery.[2]
After his failed attempt to locate Konstanze,[2] Simeon soon received his former apprentice and Assassin Pierrette Arnaud and her ward Spider Wallin at a train station. They came to help stop the countess and her plans with the Engine of History at the Eiffel Tower, in order to perserve Ada Lovelace's memory.[3]
