'''A Room with a View''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Evie Frye]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived through the [[Helix|Helix Navigator]].

==Description==
While [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] worked on ending Starrick's control of [[London]]'s transport, Evie searched for the [[Shrouds of Eden|Shroud of Eden]] at the [[Monument to the Great Fire of London|Monument]].

==Dialogue==
Jacob, Evie and [[Henry Green|Henry]] discussed their plans.
*'''Henry:''' ''Owning the railway wasn't enough. Now [[Crawford Starrick|Starrick]] has bought an omnibus company as well. I suppose he wants to control the neighborhood's workers and keep them under his thumb.''
*'''Jacob:''' ''[[Pearl Attaway]] is Starrick's competitor, is she? Perhaps it's time I went into business.''
*'''Henry:''' ''And Ms. Frye? What are your plans?''
*'''Evie:''' ''I studied the history we recovered from the [[Kenway Mansion]]'s hidden room. I'm off to a certain monument.''
Evie and Jacob looked at the Monument from a nearby rooftop.
*'''Jacob:''' ''So the "hints" you found in the Kenway house lead... to the Monument?''
*'''Evie:''' ''What a wonderful use of your time, following me around asking obvious questions.''
*'''Jacob:''' ''Well, since Henry isn't here, I thought you might enjoy the company.''
*'''Evie:''' ''I don't require any company. And Mr. Green is following up on some leads of his own.''
*'''Jacob:''' ''"Oh, yes, Mr. Green. That's a fascinating idea". "Oh, please, Mr. Green, come and take a look at this book and stand oh-so-close to me, Mr. Green.''
*'''Evie:''' ''I do not- Well, perhaps you have nothing better to do, but I am busy protecting the [[Assassins]].''
*'''Jacob:''' ''Are you, really? What was it [[Ethan Frye|Father]] used to say...''
*'''Evie:''' ''"Don't allow personal feelings to compromise the mission".''
*'''Jacob:''' ''Precisely. Anyway, I'm off. If I find any more wild geese for you to chase, I'll be in touch.''
Jacob left.
*'''Evie:''' ''It will be all the more pleasant for your absence.''
A woman held a speech in front of the Monument.
*'''Speaker:''' ''Please, show some respect for our guests! Our new proposal will ensure that these slums will be replaced with better, safer houses.''
Evie placed a disc in a mechanism at the base of the Monument. Atop the Monument, a ring on the sculpture turned. After making her way up there, Evie placed a disc on the sculpture, which depicted St. Paul.
*'''Evie:''' ''This looks familiar.''
Evie looked over at [[St Paul's Cathedral]]. Making her way there, she ascended the cathedral and placed two discs on the back of a statue's base, which then opened to reveal a compartment with cogwheels. Evie rotated the cogwheels in the right direction, opening a hatch to a room atop the cathedral's main tower. Making her way up there, she found a key.
*'''Evie:''' ''The key to the vault... and the Shroud.''
She put on the necklace to which the vault key was attached and inspected it. [[Lucy Thorne]] then appeared.
*'''Thorne:''' ''Good day, Ms. Frye. I'll take that.''
*'''Evie:''' ''You want the Shroud to cement your own power - but what if you cannot control it?''
*'''Thorne:''' ''And why do you want the Shroud? Merely to keep the [[Templars]] from having it. How like an Assassin - to hold the power of eternal life, and yet be too afraid to use it.''
*'''Evie:''' ''Eternal life? Is that what you think the Shroud offers?''
*'''Thorne:''' ''What I think is no longer your concern.''
Evie and Thorne fought. After the latter was knocked down, she tossed a bomb at Evie, and the two entered a struggle. As Thorne lunged at her, Evie threw her through a window, forcing the Templar to hold onto her necklace.
*'''Thorne:''' ''Coming with me?''
*'''Evie:''' ''I have other plans.''
As Thorne dropped, she took the necklace with her. Evie looked out of the broken window and saw that her nemesis had escaped.
*'''Evie:''' ''Damn it!''

==Outcome==
Although Evie found the key to the vault holding the Shroud, Lucy Thorne took it from her.

'''Dame Evie Frye''' (1847 – unknown), born to [[Ethan Frye|Ethan]] and [[Cecily Frye]], was a [[Master Assassin]] of the [[British Assassins|British Brotherhood]] active in [[London]] during the [[Victorian era]], and the elder twin sister of [[Jacob Frye]]. She was a member of the [[Order of the Sacred Garter]], and later in life, the grand-aunt of [[Lydia Frye]].

Originating from [[Crawley]], Evie and her brother moved to London to overthrow the oppressive [[Templars|Templar]]-led establishment and help the poverty-stricken masses, following the death of their father by natural causes. To accomplish this, she and Jacob founded the [[Rooks]], a criminal syndicate that opposed the Templars.

During their time in London, the twins came into contact with the biologist [[Charles Darwin]], the novelist [[Charles Dickens]], the inventor [[Alexander Graham Bell]], and [[Metropolitan Police Service|Metropolitan Police Sergeant]] [[Frederick Abberline]].

== Biography ==

=== Early life ===
Evie was born four minutes before her brother Jacob. Due to their mother Cecily's death after childbirth, the twins were raised by their grandmother in Crawley until the age of six, after which they were trained by their father, Ethan Frye, in the ways of the Assassins. Evie relished in her father's lessons and gravitated in planning and research on the Brotherhood, and the [[Pieces of Eden]], unlike the carefree Jacob.<ref name="ACS">[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate|''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'']]</ref>

Early in his career as an Assassin, Evie assassinated an abusive mill owner who refused to provide adequate wages to his workers; her first assassination target. The mill owner was eventually replaced by an Assassin.

After their father's death in 1868, the twins coordinated with [[George Westhouse]] in [[Croydon]], to remove the Templar threat of [[Rupert Ferris]] and [[David Brewster]]. Having her research and plans for her attack in [[Starrick Telegraph Company|Starrick and Co.]] train yard, Evie deployed a diversion by detaching the train's carriages to infiltrate Brewster's laboratory and recover a Piece of Eden from him and the Templar occultist [[Lucy Thorne]].

Upon gaining access in the laboratory, Evie assassinated Brewster, who was experimenting the artifact on a machine and destabilizing it, causing the machine to malfunction and explode. She later returned to Westhouse and Jacob to report her accomplishment. The twins shared impatience upon traveling to London, an idea which Westhouse disagreed, warning the siblings that it was not Ethan's wish for them. Adamant to continue her father's legacy, Evie accompanied Jacob in hitching a train heading to London.<ref name="ACS" />

=== Arrival in London ===
The twins arrived in [[Whitechapel]] and decided to seek out the [[Assassin leader]] [[Henry Green]] who apprised them on the Templar control over London. Evie contradicted her brother's proposal in creating a gang called Rooks to challenge the [[Blighters]], instead suggesting to recover Pieces of Eden. The trio bumped into the writer Charles Dickens and Blighters thugs. Evie joined her brother in driving a [[Wagon|carriage]] to distract them in chasing Henry, destroying Blighters carriages in the process. Returning in Henry's hideout, the Assassins discussed their contacts within the city.

They later met with a disguised Frederick Abberline, the Chief of Metropolitan Police Service in the back alley. Abberline gave them a list of notable Blighters members whom they kidnapped. Following this, Evie and Jacob contacted their young ally [[Clara O'Dea]] in Babylon Alley for information in exchange of freeing children from labor in the factory. After eliminating the rest of the Blighters and their leader [[Rexford Kaylock]]'s control of Whitechapel, the duo formed the Rooks.

The Assassins took ownership of the former Blighters train, making it their hideout, and allied with [[Agnes MacBean]] who provided her financial services. Brother and sister further traveled to [[Southwark]] to meet Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Green's associate, to fix the broken rope launcher and attach it to the [[Assassin Gauntlet]].

In return for his aid, Evie assisted Bell in setting up a free telegraph line for companies competing against [[Starrick Telegraph]] to use, by installing new fuses in the [[Clock Tower]] of the [[Palace of Westminster]], while at the same time suggesting that he rename his phonetic telegraph as the telephone. Returning to Bell's carriage, the latter showed Evie his smoke bombs and provided her the formula. Evie then made her way to a Blighter stronghold to loot metal components and returned to Bell's workshop. The twins headed to their hideout where they were greeted by [[Ned Wynert]], who gave them his business card. The Assassins began planning their next move, Evie focusing on recovering precursor artifacts.<ref name="ACS" />

=== Hunt for Pieces of Eden ===
Seeing Jacob's plan to destroy the Templars a brash and reckless idea, the siblings were in disagreement. They headed to Alexander Graham Bell who added a dart mechanism to their gauntlets. They aided the inventor by recovering cable lines taken by the Blighters in the College Wharf, in addition to discovering a poison shipment from Starrick.

The twins decided to recover an artifact from Lucy Thorne's shipments. As Jacob eliminated the guards, Evie searched the chest and found documents and a book with an Assassin insignia on the cover. Unfortunately, more Blighters came, forcing the twins to take the carriage. Evie took the defense while Jacob took the reins. Ultimately, they were forced to abandon the carriage, along with the documents, but Evie managed to keep the Assassin book.

After returning to the hideout, Evie investigated the journal with Henry Green, finding a hidden map using her Eagle Vision which lead to the Assassin [[Edward Kenway]]'s [[Kenway Mansion|mansion]]. They discovered that Lucy Thorne and the Blighters had taken control of the mansion which forced them to sneak inside and scrutinize the Kenway's memorabilia for clues. Evie deciphered a code in the piano which opened a hatch on the floor. The Assassins managed to recover a documents and an artifact before the Templars discovered the hatch, escaping through tunnels below the mansion.

Continuing their fight against Starrick and his control of the press, Evie and Jacob returned to Bell's laboratory where the latter told them Starrick's efforts of bribery to coax the inventor to his side. This caused him to invent voltaic bombs to stun assailants and offered them to the twins with insulators to protect the Assassins from harm. Soon enough, the infuriated Blighters arrived; they took this as an opportunity to test the bombs as Bell distracted them through talking.

The twins further aided the inventor in the telegraph station to keep Starrick from spreading false information throughout London and show people the truth about his operations by distracting the guards and defending Bell with their newly acquired weapon.

She continued her investigation, with the documents leading her to a contraption for a puzzle in the [[St Paul's Cathedral]]. After solving the gear puzzle, she discovered a precursor necklace at the top of the cathedral. Unfortunately, Lucy Thorne arrived and the two duelled which resulted to Thorne escaping with the necklace.

Much later, Evie visited the [[Lambeth Asylum]] after Jacob's assassination of Dr. [[John Elliotson]] where she saw an ill Clara O'Dea who came searching for medicine for the children in her care. However, Clara fainted in Evie's arms. Fortunately, the door to the hospital was opened by a woman who identified herself as Florence Nightingale and asked the Assassin to recover supplies for the cure.

Eventually, Evie aided her brother and the Rooks in taking control of London's boroughs during gang wars against the Blighters by eliminating their Templar leaders [[Bloody Nora]], [[Lilla Graves]], [[Victor Lynch]], [[Octavia Plumb]], [[Cletus Strain]], and [[Edith Swinebourne]].<ref name="ACS" />

===Later life===
Following the events of 1868, Evie and Jacob continued to operate in London. Eventually, Evie became the great-aunt of Jacob’s grandchild, [[Lydia Frye]]. Responsibility for training the young Frye fell to Evie and her brother.<ref name="LydiaFryedatabase">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Database:Lydia Frye]]</ref>

==Personality and characteristics==
{{Quote|For every mission, there is a right way and a wrong way. Barging thoughtlessly into combat is, more often than not, the latter.|Evie Frye.}}
A true tactician and firm believer in the teachings of the Brotherhood, Evie took to the lessons of her father in a way that her brother did not, being more studious and more interested in the lore and history of the Assassins.<ref>[https://soundcloud.com/ac-initiates/the-network-podcast-episode-13 The Network Podcast - Episode 13]</ref> She planned her missions carefully and patiently, considering every angle to ensure the best chance of success. Sometimes, this worked against her, as it meant that she was slow to act.<ref name="Evie Profile">[http://blog.ubi.com/assassins-creed-syndicate-evie-frye-profile/ Ubiblog - ''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' - The Stealthy Mind of Evie Frye]</ref>

By contrast, her brother Jacob was much quicker to spring into action, yet his plans lacked sufficient forethought as a result. While the twins' means were frequently at odds, their motivations were the same, and the pair were at their most effective when they worked together, as they balanced each other out.<ref name="Evie Profile" />

===Equipment and skills===
{{Quote|A true master of stealth can blend into any environment. If I remain still, my enemies will have no idea I’m about to strike.|Evie Frye.}}
A Master Assassin proficient with the [[Hidden Blade]], Evie was able to assassinate her targets skilfully and stealthily. She excelled at masking her presence, to such an extent that [[guards]] were unable to notice her as long as she remained still.<ref name="Gamespot">[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/stalking-a-target-as-evie-frye-in-assassins-creed-/1100-6429415/ Gamespot - Stalking a Target as Evie Frye in ''Assassin's Creed Syndicate'']</ref>

As the carrying of weapons openly was forbidden at the time, she relied on an arsenal of hidden tools, much like her brother. Evie was capable of using a [[Swords|cane-sword]], a [[Machetes|Kukri]], [[firearms]], [[brass knuckles]], [[Throwing knives]], [[Bombs|smoke bombs]] and voltaic bombs, which let loose a blast of electricity upon impact. Her Hidden Blade was also equipped with a rope launcher, allowing her to scale buildings quickly as well as create ziplines, and could fire [[Poison darts|hallucinogenic darts]].<ref name="Evie Profile" />

While her brother specialized in brutal and straightforward weaponry like the brass knuckles and the firearms, Evie's stealthy nature led her to prefer more subtle tools like the cane-sword and throwing knives.<ref name="Evie Profile" /> She was especially proficient with the latter, being able to carry a larger amount and hit targets at a greater range than her brother.<ref name="Gamespot" />

She was also a skilled [[Freerunning|freerunner]] and possessed the rare ability of [[Eagle Vision]].<ref name="Gamespot" />

===Romantic life===
After her first meeting with Henry Green in 1868, Evie quickly developed romantic feelings for her fellow Assassin, but it was only after the death of Starrick that they became a formal couple.

==Trivia==
*Evie's name is of biblical origin, being an alternate form of Eve, which means ''life''. Frye is a derivative of the English word ''free''.
*Evie is the first playable female character in one of the [[Assassin's Creed (series)|''Assassin's Creed'' franchise]]'s main entries and the third playable female character in the franchise as a whole, having been preceded by [[Aveline de Grandpré]] and [[Shao Jun]].
*Evie and Jacob are the third and fourth Assassin protagonists from a main instalment to wear robes whose primary color is not white, the other two being [[Arno Dorian]] and [[Shay Cormac]] while he was still allied with the Assassins.

[[File:ACS Clara.jpg|thumb|250px|Clara O'Dea]]
'''Clara O'Dea''' (24 February 1856 – unknown) was a young [[United Kingdom|British]] girl working with the [[Assassins]], specifically [[Henry Green]] and the Frye twins. As the "spokesperson" of the children of [[London]], Clara served as the Brotherhood informant, feeding them rumors and other information on their enemies.

==Biography==
At the age of 10, and after her mother became unable to do so, Clara took the reins of the family and became responsible for her younger siblings' well being. Having a family to feed, Clara soon developed an acute sense of business and a network of contacts throughout the city, principally among the exploited and disenfranchised children working in the factories, mines and in all the sectors of London's booming economy.<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>

As the unofficial voice of those numerous children, Clara later became the source of information for a severely weakened [[British Assassins|British Brotherhood]], using her contacts as spies or couriers to get news on specific events or about the [[Templars]]' activities all around London.<ref name="ACS"/>

She became a ringleader of other orphaned street children and encouraged them to [[Pickpocketing|pickpocket]] in the [[Westminster]] borough.<ref>[http://www.searchengine.assassinscreed.com/news/society-new-auction-room-record-set-yesterday-303 XIXth Century Search Engine]</ref>

In 1868, Clara was met by [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]], who were building an underground network against the Templars. Clara only agreed to provide intelligence on the condition that they free groups of children forced to work in sweatshops. She and Evie sealed their pact by spitting into and shaking their hands.<ref name="ACS"/>

Sometime after Jacob's assassination of Dr. [[John Elliotson]], the children in Clara's care, including herself, fell ill leading to the young girl's visit to the [[Lambeth Asylum]] where she fainted into Evie's arms. Fortunately, the door to the hospital was opened by a [[Florence Nightingale|woman]], who identified herself as Florence Nightingale, and the young girl was immediately given attention. Evie immediately recovered supplies needed for the cure.<ref name="ACS" />

== Personality and characteristics ==
Clara O'Dea was mature for her age, proved by her leadership to the orphaned and poor children, taking care of them despite herself being almost of the same age as them. She valued those children highly and was ready to set aside her own condition just to aid them.

She developed a sense of business in her young age, forming deals even on people older than her.
