Gare de l'Est

The Gare de l'Est is a one of six railway stations and an Assassin bureau in Paris, France.

History

In 1855, former soldier Simeon Price found his way to Paris as he arrived at the Gare de l'Est. After he climbed atop the train station, he was met by the Assassin Amira Benyamina, who led him to the secret quarters beneath the station. There, he was introduced to other Assassins, Michel Moulin and Henri Escoffier, whom he recognized from his time as a soldier. Explaining his background, Price asked them if they received any news about escaped rebel, Felice Orsini. Although they heard nothing, Michel promised to put an alert on Orsini as Amira offered to continue Price's tutelage. Relieved, Price was thankful and continued his training with Benyamina.

By 1858, after the Orsini affair, Assassin Simeon Price rescued Pierrette Arnaud from the bombings and brought her to recover at the station's base. There, she woke up and began to talk with Price about why she came to Paris. Pierrette disclosed that her findings about the Magus' casings led her to the bombing site. Arnaud argued for her reason to stay as Price reluctantly agreed to train her himself. Time passed as they jointly investigated the Magus' identity and plot with the remaining bombs.

Behind the scenes

The Gare de l'Est was established in 1849 and is considered the fifth-busiest railway stations in Paris.
