Database: Orelov Versus the Staff of Eden

BORKI//RUSSIAN EMPIRE//1888-10-29

The Assassin Nikolai Orelov was sent to assassinate Tsar Alexander III, in order to loosen the Templar's grip on Russia. Nikolai infiltrated the Imperial train which was transporting the Tsar from Crimea to Saint Petersburg. The intelligence he had received suggested that his target would be alone in the dining car, but when Nikolai entered, he was shocked to discover the Tsar's family.

Nikolai and Alexander fought, and their battle derailed the train. Alexander held up the remains of the dining car so that his children could escape. The angry Tsar then taunted Nikolai with the Staff of Eden, challenging the Assassin to kill him with it. Despite his training and the Staff, Nikolai was defeated by Alexander. However, Nikolai was allowed to escape as the Tsar did not want to commit murder in front of his children.
