One night in Paris she was approached by a man, apparently gentle and careful, but she read his mind and realized he wanted to rob her jewels and money. Pretending that she was waiting for her sister, she proposed to leave a message with the waiter for her before leaving with the man. She wrote the message, but actually wrote a warning for the gendarmes (the French police).
The man, who actually was the Assassin of Paris, accompanied her for a walk, and took her to a dark alley where he assaulted her. In that instant, a gendarme shot him, saving the Sensational Mademoiselle.

The Assassin of Paris has no known connections to any other "Assassin" character or organization.
The Assassin of Paris was a normal human.
On his first robbery the Assassin killed the victim because she struggled too much to defend herself.
After that, in the following two months he deceived four other women to take their jewels, pearls and money.
One night, however, a woman screamed so swiftly that the gendarmes arrived too early and he had to run away without loot. Then he decided to find the shiest type of woman.
Three nights later he approached an apparently very rich woman. She convinced her to walk through the boulevard, and he even took her to a dark alley, but when he assaulted her he was shot by a gendarme. The lady was the Sensational Mademoiselle and she had read his mind, setting up a trap for him. The Assassin died of the wound.
