Zürich is a city in northern Switzerland.

History

In 1855, Simeon Price spent two weeks in the city, trying to find the escaped convict, Felice Orsini. After spying on Orsini's family and talking with the locals, Price found no indication of Felice's presence and soon left for Paris to find Orsini.

In 1867, the French Assassin Henri Escoffier arrived in the city on assignment to aid Mikhail Bakunin on his revolutionary mission. While there, he founded the Zurich Brotherhood and stationed their base of operations in fellow Assassin Irene Egli's home. In 1873, he welcomed Simeon and his lover and former Templar Countess Konstanze von Visler secretly at their base. Explaining their rules and methods, all three agreed to work together as they continued Konstanze's training as an Assassin.

In the next three years, Henri assigned Konstanze her first mission in Brussels to assassinate Maynard Poole. However, after Henri returned, he and his Assassins were met by Simeon, who informed them of Konstanze's betrayal. Instantly, they burned down Egli's home and moved to a safehouse. Zurich Assassin Beatrice was sent to Simeon and Konstanze's cabin in the Alps but found no trace of Konstanze. They all promised to locate and kill Konstanze but excluded Simeon from the task due to his personal feelings.
