History

The first known human possessor of the First Apple was Napoleon Bonaparte,[1] a major force in the French Revolution, and a military and political leader of France who later became Emperor of France under the name Napoleon I. How he came to possess the Apple, how long he had it, and whether he lost it or gave it away, are all unknown.

The next owner was Harry Houdini, a Hungarian-American magician and escapologist, stunt performer, actor and film producer. He used to the Apple to do stunts that, even to this day, are considered "impossible".[2] While the official story is that Houdini died from peritonitis from a ruptured appendix, Subject 16's Glyphs in Assassin's Creed II indicate that Houdini had been killed by Templar agents (probably J. Gordon Whitehead), so as to take possession of the Apple.

The Apple was then later used in the Kennedy Assassination[3] to cause the "Phantom on the Hill" effect, to help make it more difficult to prosecute Oswald later on, and to disguise the true intentions of the assassination from later examination.
