[[File:ACLD Locus - Mark Twain before the British Museum map|left|thumb|250px|Mark Twain near the museum's map]] | |||
In October 1861, after his return to London, [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Simeon Price]] read a short news item on {{Wiki|The Times}} about an Assyrian eye artifact being discovered amidst the museum's recent acquisitions from excavations at {{Wiki|Nimrud}}, [[Mesopotamia]]. Expecting the news to be a trap set by his former mentor [[Oscar Kane]], Simeon had his protégé [[Pierrette Arnaud]] visit the [[Crystal Palace]] while going to the British Museum by himself. At the museum, Simeon found Kane and was given the ultimatum of either joining Kane or being arrested for desertion as he had already summoned the police. While trying to escape, Simeon broke his leg and was ultimately arrested.<ref name ="Magus"/> | In October 1861, after his return to London, [[Assassins|Assassin]] [[Simeon Price]] read a short news item on {{Wiki|The Times}} about an Assyrian eye artifact being discovered amidst the museum's recent acquisitions from excavations at {{Wiki|Nimrud}}, [[Mesopotamia]].

In 1872, the museum was discovered to hold pages of the [[Voynich manuscript]] by the [[American Rite of the Templar Order]], as well as by [[Horace Greeley]], who had a mole amidst [[Ulysses S. Grant]]'s administration. The [[Templars]] had their field agent [[Alice (Templar)|Alice]] travel to London after the pages. A first attempt by her to recover them was seemingly foiled by [[Mark Twain]], [[Pinkerton]] detective [[Tommy Greyling]] and Sergeant [[Frederick Abberline]], though she managed to evade capture through the museum's rooftops.<ref name="Locus 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus 1|Issue #01]]</ref> The next day the group, aided by Assassins [[Evie Frye]] and [[Jayadeep Mir]], would learn that the chase was a distraction: while Alice was on the rooftops, she had crooked constable [[Niall Hobday]] retrieve the personal details of Head Clerk of Acquisitions [[Edward Feather]]. Needing to locate the item quickly, she kidnapped and tortured Feather until he told her the number of the box where the pages had been archived.<ref name="Locus 2">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus 2|Issue #02]]</ref> | In 1872, the museum was discovered to hold pages of the [[Voynich manuscript]] by the [[American Rite of the Templar Order]], as well as by [[Horace Greeley]], who had a mole amidst [[Ulysses S.

[[File:ACLocus - Tommy and Evie confronts Alice.jpg|thumb|250px|Alice being confronted in the Reading Room]] | |||
After setting a trap at a slaughterhouse, Alice returned to the museum, accompannied by several [[Blighters]], and searched the Aquisitions Department managing to locate the pages before being confronted by the Assassins and the police. While the Blighters and the others traded shots in the department, she attempted to slip away but was stopped by Evie and Tommy at the museum's reading room. Alice then threw a smoke bomb, which forced Evie to stay behind and attempt to control any fire that could arise from a stray spark while she slipped away, pursued by Tommy.<ref name="Locus 3">''[[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Last Descendants – Locus 3|Issue #03]]</ref> | After setting a trap at a slaughterhouse, Alice returned to the museum, accompannied by several [[Blighters]], and searched the Aquisitions Department managing to locate the pages before being confronted by the Assassins and the police.
