Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace (née Byron; 1815 – 1852), best known as Ada Lovelace, was an English mathematician, translator, and writer. The only child of poet Lord George Byron and mathematician Lady Anne Byron, she was married to William King-Noel and had numerous children, including Annabella and Byron.

Ada was known for her work on Charles Babbage's proposed mechanical calculator, and she is often regarded as the first computer programmer.[1]

Ada was a childhood friend of Simeon Price, who would later join the British Assassins. As an adult, Ada's scientific work drew the attention of a figure known only as "the Magus", and they contacted her to make the weapon called the Engine of History. While attending the Great Exhibition of 1851, Ada was rescued from a gang of thugs by the acrobat Pierette. Once the pair were safe, Ada revealed she was deathly ill,[2] having developed terminal uterine cancer,[1] and sent Pierette on a journey to find Simeon and work with him to stop the Engine from being used.[3]
