Zurich Brotherhood of Assassins

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 Zurich Brotherhood of Assassins was a branch of the Assassin Brotherhood located in the Swiss city of Zürich, founded by the French Assassin Henri Escoffier in the late 1860s.

History

By 1867, Henri Escoffier had left Paris for Zürich to aid revolutionary Mikhail Bakunin in his various uprisings. While there, he founded the Zurich Brotherhood and stationed their base of operations in the home of retired Assassin Irene Egli.

In 1873, Henri welcomed his old friend, the British Assassin Simeon Price, and his lover, the former Austrian Templar and Countess Konstanze von Visler, both of whom were hiding from the Templars. Henri cautioned Konstanze over the Assassins' principles and rules but remained hospitable to their new addition. For the next three years, Konstanze divulged information about the Templars and how they mapped known locations of Pieces of Eden, but the Assassins were ambivalent to chase them. Meanwhile, Simeon took the responsibility of training Konstanze while at their home in the Alps.

In September 1876, the Zurich Brotherhood assigned Konstanze her first mission, which was to infiltrate an international conference held by King Leopold II of Belgium and assassinate Templar cartographer Maynard Poole. Within two months, Konstanze completed her mission but was caught in a private meeting with the king himself. After returning home with explorer Henry Morton Stanley, she betrayed Simeon and later left their home before the Zurich Brotherhood could respond. As a caution, they burned down Egli's home and found a new safehouse to serve as their base.
