'''Jacob Frye''' (1847 – unknown) was a [[Master Assassin]]<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/assassins-creed-syndicates-evie-gets-statue-weapons-backstory/ Gamesradar: ''Evie's signature weapon gives us a clue to Assassin's Creed Syndicate's story'']</ref> of the [[British Assassins|British Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]] active in [[London]] during the [[Victorian era]], and the younger twin brother of [[Evie Frye]] and an ancestor of Desmond Miles. <ref name="ACS YT">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKS8554XAmM ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' - Jacob Frye]</ref>

Born in {{Wiki|Crawley}}, where they were raised as Assassins from birth, Jacob and his sister moved to London<ref name="IGN Reveal">[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2015/05/12/assassins-creed-syndicate-officially-announced IGN - ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' Officially Announced]</ref> after their [[Ethan Frye|father]], died of natural causes.<ref>[http://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-syndicate-twin-assassins/ Ubiblog - ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' - Twin Assassins]</ref> There, they sought to overthrow the oppressive [[Templars|Templar]]-led establishment and help the poverty-stricken masses.<ref name="IGN Reveal" />

Alongside Evie, Jacob led the [[Rooks]], a criminal syndicate opposing the Templars. At some point in his life, Jacob came into contact with the novelist [[Charles Dickens]], and the biologist [[Charles Darwin]].<ref name="IGN Reveal" />

==Personality and characteristics==
{{Quote|I'm no criminal. I just do as I please.|Jacob Frye.}}
Unlike his level-headed and stealthy elder sister, Jacob was a reckless and rebellious individual.<ref name="ACS YT" /> While he was brought up as an Assassin, he did not appear to be a fervent believer in the Creed's tenets like his sister, preferring action over philosophical thoughts and a good fight over discretion.<ref name="Ubisoft">[http://assassinscreed.ubi.com/en-US/games/assassins-creed-syndicate/jacob-frye.aspx Assassinscreed.ubi.com: Jacob Frye]</ref>

===Equipment and skills===
{{Quote|Leave the sneaking and spying to my sister. Toss me my brass knuckles and point me to a good brawl.|Jacob Frye.}}
Having been trained by the Brotherhood from birth, Jacob was a skilled Assassin, adept at both stealth and combat, despite his preference for the latter. He was also a skilled [[Freerunning|freerunner]] and possessed the rare ability of [[Eagle Vision]].<ref name="Ubisoft" />

An experienced brawler, Jacob was proficient in hand-to-hand combat, using his [[brass knuckles]] for brutal take-downs. Due to the era's restriction on open weaponry, Jacob utilized an arsenal of hidden tools including his [[Hidden Blade]], which was equipped with a rope launcher – a versatile tool that he could utilize to access and scale areas quickly, as well as create zip lines.<ref name="Walkthrough">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKR42Ci000k ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' Gameplay Walkthrough]</ref>

Accompanying this, the Hidden Blade contained [[Poison darts|hallucinogenic darts]], allowing him to eliminate groups of enemies at a distance upon the dart's contact with an open flame. Other weapons in his possession included a [[Machetes|kukri]] blade, a [[Swords|cane-sword]], a six-shot [[Firearms|revolver]] and [[throwing knives]].<ref name="Walkthrough" /><ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/assassin-s-creed-syndicate-story-characters-and-se/1100-6427217/ Gamespot: ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' Story, Characters and Setting]</ref>

==Trivia==
*Jacob's name is of Biblical origin, with the meaning being either ''he who grasps the heel'' or ''supplanter''. Frye is a derivative of the English word ''free''.
*Jacob keeps a shilling around his neck as a memento.
*He possesses a scar on his right eyebrow, as well as one on the left side of his beard.
