"See, Michel? I told you it could be done, the puzzle could be solved. I could solve it. If only you gave me the time I needed then..."

―Alice's dying words, 1869

Alice (died 1869) was a member of the British Brotherhood of Assassins. During an expedition to Bath, Somerset in July 1844, Lavinia, Alice, and Michel Reuge were co-discoverers of the sealed sarcophagus that housed the Aegis. The trio set up an underground chamber in London to guard the item, only for Alice to become obsessed with unlocking the sarcophagus and betray Lavinia and Reuge to the British Templars. Instead of allowing her to continue attempting to open the casket, the Templars imprisoned and tortured her, keeping her captive for over 20 years. During this time, Alice's obsession did not abate, and she continued to hum the melodies produced by the music boxes she knew were the key to open the sarcophagus.

In 1869, she escaped captivity and immediately returned to the vault. Alice created a number of bombs and caltrops to aid in her endeavour, boobytrapping the vault and the tunnels leading to it. One of the items she made was a small music box that detonated in Southwark, alerting Jacob and Evie Frye and causing them to return to the vault. At the chamber, which she had filled with thick white smoke and a discordant tune from a music box, Alice attempted to open the sarcophagus while humming to the tune. In spite of their hindered visibility and hearing, as well as Alice's own knives, the Assassins managed to fatally wound Alice.

Behind the scenes

Alice was first introduced in a series of database entries detailing the event surrounding Michel Reuge and the Aegis planned for the 2015 video game Assassin's Creed: Syndicate. However, these entries did not make it into the final product, only being discovered through datamining.
