Nikola Tesla (10 July 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American inventor, and a mechanical and electrical engineer. Tesla planned to create a worldwide network able to transmit information and electricity to anywhere on the planet, the knowledge of which came from a Piece of Eden he had acquired.

Biography

Background

Born in Smiljan, Croatia, Tesla was one of the most important contributors to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for his many revolutionary developments in the field of electromagnetism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Tesla's patents and theoretical work formed the basis of modern alternating current (AC) electric power systems, including the polyphase system of electrical distribution, and the AC motor, with which he helped usher in the Second Industrial Revolution.

Acquiring a Piece of Eden

Tesla planned to create a worldwide network able to transmit information and free electricity to anywhere on the planet, the knowledge of which came from a Piece of Eden he had acquired. According to Subject 16, Tesla found the Piece of Eden in Croatia. The Templars, most prominently Thomas Edison, opposed this idea, as it would be a serious impediment to the Templar goal and Edison's ideals. To this end, Edison demonstrated a series of experiments, such as the electrocution of a circus elephant, that he released as proof that Tesla power was dangerous, causing public disapproval towards Tesla's invention. Tesla's Apple of Eden seemingly disappeared along with some of his designs.

Working with the Assassins

Later on, the Assassins, including Nikolai Orelov, contacted Tesla and enlisted his help in destroying both the recently located Staff and Templar constructed Tesla coil using his powerful particle beam weapon. He fired the machine from America with the words "Rot in Hell, Thomas". The resulting explosion became known as the Tunguska explosion, which, according to Orelov, destroyed the Staff completely, or possibly blasted the Piece of Eden miles away.
