Engine of History
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]
In 1851, however, the Magus sent thugs to apprehend Ada for her notes, but the acrobat Pierrette Arnaud stopped the kidnapping.[2] 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.[3][4][5]
