Thomas Edison.

Thomas Alva Edison (11 February 1847 – 18 October 1931) was an American inventor, scientist and businessman, famous for inventing devices such as the phonograph, motion picture camera and the incandescent light bulb.

Edison was secretly a member of the Templar Order, and used his influence to discredit Nikola Tesla, who had invented AC (Alternating Current) which was more efficient than Edison's DC (Direct Current). Tesla was in possession of PE4, which granted him his efficiency in the AC electricity. He had planned to set up a worldwide electrical grid with free power for all based on his discoveries from PE4. As this would have affected Templars' plans for worldwide control by improving long-distance communication, Edison began a smear campaign against Tesla's use of alternating current, inventing the electric chair and having an elephant filmed while being electrocuted to promote public resistance to Tesla and his ideas. He may have also used PE4, which was taken from Tesla and passed it on to Henry Ford, another Templar.
