Owners

History

French Revolution

The first known human possessor of the Apple was Napoleon Bonaparte, a key member of the French Revolution, and a military and political leader of France, who later became Emperor of France under the name Napoleon I.[2]

Modern times

The next owner of the Apple was Harry Houdini, a Hungarian-American magician and escapologist. He used the Apple to execute stunts that, even to this day, are considered impossible.[3]

Houdini with the Apple.

While Houdini officially died from peritonitis from a ruptured appendix, Clay Kaczmarek's Glyphs suggested that Houdini had been killed by Templar agents who wished to take possession of his Apple.[3]

The Apple was later used in the assassination of John F. Kennedy, to cause the "Phantom on the Hill" effect. This effect created the illusion of a second gunman on the grassy knoll of Dealy Plaza in Dallas, Texas.[4]

The goal of this illusion was to make it more difficult to persecute Lee Harvey Oswald (a probable Templar sleeper agent) later on, and to disguise the true intentions of the Templar-executed assassination from later investigation.[4]
