Oscar Kane's Assassin cell

I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given.

The Austrian Brotherhood of Assassins was the branch of Assassins located in Vienna, Austria.

History

In 1851, the Irish Assassin Oscar Kane, who was stationed in Vienna, ordered a fellow Assassin, Henri Escoffier, to board a Royal Navy frigate, the HMS Birkenhead, assassinate a target, and find a potential recruit, Simeon Price. However, during his time in the city, Kane had secretly begun working with the local Templars, providing them with information in exchange for access to their inventions. By 1852, Kane welcomed Price as his apprentice, who took on the alias "Jack Straw".

Within two years, Kane began to teach Price how to be an Assassin, while secretly continuing his collaboration with the Templars. In 1853, unknown to Price, Kane, under the guise of the "Magus", manipulated a Hungarian tailor, János Libényi, to assassinate Emperor Franz Joseph, but the attempt failed. To cover his tracks, Kane tried to save the tailor with Price but ultimately failed as János was later hanged.

By 1854, Price had grown disillusioned with Kane and his teachings and left his mentor in order to work through his own issues.
