This template should be removed from the article 4 October 2023.

The Engine of History was a proposed invention, concocted by the works of both computer programmer Countess Ada Lovelace, and the mysterious figure called "the Magus". Before it could be finished, Ada cut off their letter correspondences once she realized their work led to an engine that would prove fatal and dangerous if constructed.[1] However, plans for the weapon were revitalized by Austrian Templar Countess Konstanze von Visler, who developed the Engine of Histroy to be a method of making calculations about predicting the Assassins' future actions and plans.[2]

History

In 1851, however, the Magus sent thugs to apprehend Ada for her notes, but the acrobat Pierrette Arnaud stopped the kidnapping.[3] For the next couple of years, a dying Ada gave Pierrette her notes about the invention and a request to find her friend, Simeon Price, to stop the Magus from using her invention.[1] Within two decades, Pierrette and Simeon ultimately kept the notes away from both the Magus and his Templar conspirators.[4][5][6]

In 1870, the Engine of History was mentioned again when British Assassin Simeon Price interrogated his target Virgile Donat, who revealed that it was interwined by Art Hennighan's possession of the Ankh, before dying. The plans of the invention was ultimtately resurrected by Countess Konstanze von Visler, who was initially met with resistance from her fellow Templars.[7] With Ada's notebook, she tried to comprehend her notes but was constantly interrupted by Simeon[8] and his Assassin allies. Tinkering with Ada's notes, Konstanze devised to make an alliance with Simeon and to learn about his creed for the next three years.[9][10]

As a result, Konstanze left the Templar Order, began a relationship with Simeon, and joined the Assassins[11] in order to learn from them for the next three years.[12] However, in 1876, after her success on her first mission as an Assassin, she later betrayed Simeon and the Assassins.[13] After rejoining the Order,[14] she used her knowledge about how the Assassins worked and went back on creating the Engine again.[15] Using all of her experience, she created a prototype of the Engine of History, which was a method that was able to make predictions about Assassins' actions and how the Templars can act on beforehand.[2]

In 1889, she and a mysterious figure "F" tested out her engine by setting up the Assassins to blow up the Eiffel Tower by making her messages be intercepted and interpreted by the Assassins as an attack by the Templars using the tower.[15] However, Pierrette figured out Konstanze's plan and tried to tell Simeon and their allies within the French Assassins. Although she was stopped and injured by von Visler, she was able to tell her ward Spider Wallin,[2] who later found and saved Simeon from Konstanze and their alleged daughter Gisela. Telling him of Konstanze's plan, Simeon and Spider thwarted their plans atop the tower and used Morse code to tell French Master Assassin Michel Moulin and their allies below to stop their planned explosion.[16]
