Switzerland is a country in Europe.
History
Bombastus
Around 1520, the Swiss scholar Bombastus had his laboratory located in Basel, where he worked alongside his assistant Maria Amiel. The laboratory was also the place where Bombastus held the first half of the Book and where he created the Philosopher's Stone.[1]
Giovanni Borgia also visited the laboratory to deliver a Crystal Skull for Bombastus to examine, as he was working with the Assassins at that time.[1]
Later on, when Giovanni and Maria returned from Paris, Bombastus had become mentally unstable and eventually disappeared.[2]
Mathers
Switzerland was the birthplace of Moina Mathers, however, she did not stay long in the country as her family moved across Europe often, and she eventually settled down in London.[3]
Assassin hideout
The Brotherhood had maintained a base of operations in Switzerland – an isolated cabin in the Swiss Alps – for 200 years.
During World War II, Assassins working from of this area trained, supplied and led Maquis cells during the latter's conflict with the Germans.
In September 2012, Lucy Stillman had intended to use the Alpine cabin as a new hideout for her team, which had recently fled Rome. She believed it would be one of the few places around the area of Europe that her team previously resided at, where they could set up the Animus 2.0 without arousing suspicion.
However, this plan would not come to fruition, as the Templars had set up a roadblock, preventing them from reaching the cabin and forcing to them taking a detour to Monteriggioni.[4]
