Orsini affair

The Orsini affair was a series of bombings against French Emperor Napoleon III committed by the Italian escaped rebel Felice Orsini and his four accomplices. In fact, the attempt happened to be aided by experimental military inventions given by a mysterious figure called the "Magus."
==Preparations for the attack==
The assassination plot was directly aided by the Irish Assassin-turncoat Oscar Kane, who used the alias "Magus" and released Felice Orsini from prison in Italy.Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy – Chapter 13 In 1857, weeks before the attack, Kane gave plans for his bomb casings to a third party who then gave it to two industrial workers to ship to Bousquet-Lang in Paris by the end of December. However, the acrobat Pierrette Arnaud learned of their plan and realized the casings matched the same models outlined in Ada Lovelace's notes.Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy – Chapter 14 The casings were later delivered to the warehouse in Bousquet-Lang, where the buyer came and took them.Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy – Chapter 16
==The bombings==
On the day, the buyer took a suitcase towards the as Arnaud tracked him there. Atop the theater opera, the Assassin Simeon Price stood above and waited for the Emperor to arrive. However, once the Emperor's carriage halted, a bomb went off, wounding multiple bystanders and horses though barely injuring the Emperor and his wife. While Price regained his footing, Arnaud chased a bomber above some scaffolding. Pierrette disarmed the bomber, who released a second bomb, which was later caught by Price. However, Simeon was injured when the bomber also struck Arnaud and left her unconscious.Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy – Chapter 15 Two more bombs went off near the Emperor and his company, but they were fortunate to survive this final attempt.
==Aftermath==
The next day, Felice Orsini and his accomplices were arrested for their attempt against Napoleon III, but due to some of Orsini's accomplices being from England, the French public and government held England partly responsible for the attack against their ruler. Thus, the English government enforced harsher laws on its people as a result.Assassin's Creed: The Engine of History – The Magus Conspiracy – Chapter 18
