'''Hello, all! This is the Raven's Nest, my little corner of the world for you to leave me messages. Just FYI, though, this is the snail-mail way to get a hold of me. Usually you can find me in IRC between 9 and midnight CST, and my IRCbot, TheRaven, is there to take messages, at least for now. (Just say r.help if you have questions.) Older messages are archived at [[User_talk:DarkFeather/Archive|the archive page]]. Thanks! '''

== Apprentice Assignment ==

Good day, Mentor

I was wondering when I would get my first assignment, have you had the chance to think of one for me yet? I don't mean to be a bother, I'm simply excited to start ^^; I hope you are well. [[User:Crookandcharlatan|Crookandcharlatan]] ([[User talk:Crookandcharlatan|talk]]) 10:05, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

:Okay, Mentor, I believe I've revamped the [[Aveline de Grandpré]] article (please evaluate the official article, not the one in my sandbox, cause I made some small final edits to the former which aren't present in the latter) to the best of my abilities. I didn't quite know where I should leave you messages about my progress (pigeoncoop? IRC?), so for now, I'll just use this :)
:EDIT: I saw the memo on the IRC seconds after I'd posted this. Will get to work on those final paragraphs then. Apprentice out :P [[User:Crookandcharlatan|Crookandcharlatan]] ([[User talk:Crookandcharlatan|talk]]) 12:45, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

== About TST ==

Hey bro, have you heard from my mentor? If not, it's okay. Thanks.

Cheers,

{{User:AgentG231/sig}} 05:42, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

: I see him on now and again. His last appearance on IRC was today, according to NickServ. Have you talkpaged him recently? [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 05:45, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

: Also, speak on IRC :P We see your account and don't hear from you much. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 05:48, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

::: Yes, I already left a message on his talk page. Uh, I left my acct online in IRC yet it is on "away" mode. BTW, I'll try to go to the IRC... --{{User:AgentG231/sig}} 05:51, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

:::: Have you seen him bro? Because it has been a few months since he went dark... Thanks. --{{User:AgentG231/sig}} 09:28, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

== Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad page ==

Hello. I see you are the bureau member who is working on the revamp of the Altair page, according to the header. Would you mind some help with that? I'm interested in assisting with whatever the page needs to hit Featured status, so if you're willing, might I be of assistance?

-[[User:Molotov.cockroach|Molotov.cockroach]] ([[User talk:Molotov.cockroach|talk]]) 03:14, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

: A couple things you could do would be to verify that in our recent shuffle of categories we haven't missed any that apply to Altair and to make sure the trivia section follows MoS. I plan to finish that revamp tomorrow -- I finally have time to work on it. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 05:46, February 1, 2014 (UTC)
: Well, that didn't happen. I'll try to push it out before my martial arts practice tomorrow... Otherwise, it'll have to be Monday. Either way, feel free to make some edits -- I'll sandbox my changes and push them at a go. Most of it will be in the text of the main article. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 06:18, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

::: Haha, no problem. I did look over the categories and everything looks good (though I wonder if he should also be added to the "Couriers" category, since some of his missions in ACI involved running around doing errands for other Assassins), and I made a few adjustments to the Trivia section. I've [[User:Molotov.cockroach/Sandbox|sandboxed]] those changes for your reference, in case you're planning to replace the article wholesale. Anything else you'd like help with/anything you want me to change with the edits I've done? - [[User:Molotov.cockroach|Molotov.cockroach]] ([[User talk:Molotov.cockroach|talk]]) 19:35, February 2, 2014 (UTC)
:::: I'll take a look and let you know when I'm ready for you to merge. Thanks, molotov. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 03:59, February 14, 2014 (UTC)

== Formatting error on Altair page ==

Just so you know, my edit was to fix [http://oi58.tinypic.com/9jqbs8.jpg this] on the Altair page, and since you reversed the edit it's now back. Is this something you want left alone? -[[User:Molotov.cockroach|Molotov.cockroach]] ([[User talk:Molotov.cockroach|talk]]) 10:31, March 3, 2014 (UTC)

== Avatar/sigil request ==

Hiya, I'm terrible at using the irc so apologies for contacting you here, but I was told to ask you for a spiffy avatar and userpage bureau sigil. If you'd be so kind, I'd like [http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/40/2239673-cm_teaser.jpg this] for my sigil, and [http://shingekinokyojin.wikia.com/wiki/File:Mikasa_ready_to_battle_Annie_one_more_time.png this] as an Assassin avatar. --[[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 20:31, September 9, 2014 (UTC)

: I will try to get this up today and post to your talkpage with the results. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 21:51, September 14, 2014 (UTC)

: I'm having some trouble finding the template from which the insignia's are made. I'll try tomorrow. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 05:00, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

::Dark, if you're still stuck finding it tomorrow, I could upload the one I used while making my own. Or, you could just take any bureau emblem and play around with the brightness/contrast/whatever so that the red logo disappears. --{{User:The Crimson Eagle/sig}} 20:50, September 16, 2014 (UTC)

:: Crimson, I would love to take the one you're using as a template.[[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 22:21, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

If it's ok may I drop the request for the avatar? Thanks for keeping me updated. --[[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 22:12, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

: Why, Alien? Did you already get another one? [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 22:21, September 18, 2014 (UTC)
:: Crook uploaded that Shao Jun image and I'd thought I'd like that (I'm slapping myself I didn't think about choosing an image of her) but if you've already made one for me then I'll gratefully accept your effort. --[[User:Alientraveller|Alientraveller]] ([[User talk:Alientraveller|talk]]) 22:33, September 18, 2014 (UTC)

[[File:Istruttore.png|thumb|left|50px]]
Here is the template I used for my staff emblem. It's a good thing I kept it after I'd used it. --{{User:The Crimson Eagle/sig}} 13:28, September 19, 2014 (UTC)

==CSS==
Sima says you've been looking at our .css sheet to see if we can replace our background in the future more easily, since the current one lacks a .png, or any other extension. So, how did that go? --[[User:Kainzorus Prime|Kainzorus Prime]] [[Special:Contributions/Kainzorus Prime|⚜]] [[User talk:Kainzorus Prime|Walkie-talkie]] 01:46, October 24, 2014 (UTC)

:Dark, if you also could switch the color of links to a blue hue from cyan one, and the gallery captions from gray to white, that'd be grand. --[[User:Kainzorus Prime|Kainzorus Prime]] [[Special:Contributions/Kainzorus Prime|⚜]] [[User talk:Kainzorus Prime|Walkie-talkie]] 03:02, December 7, 2014 (UTC)

== IMasun Edits: In My Defense ==

I have provided sufficient evidence for my edits on both the article's talk page and the talk page of Kainzorus Prime's talk page. Please look at both before accusing me of edit warring. Re-read both and I think you'll see why I wanted to revert Kainzorus Prime's edits. [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 04:18, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

You asked me for a source. Here is one of them. This is the description of the memory Knowledge (Masun) from Memory Block 2 of Assassin's Creed:

''[http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Masun Masun] was executed by [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Rashid_ad-Din_Sinan Al Mualim] for his treason. But even at the end, faced with the prospect of oblivion, he insisted his grievous work was just. I know not how[http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Robert_de_Sable Robert] poisoned his mind, and I worry he is but the first of such men. The [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Templars Templar] must be stopped. ''

The proper definition of treason is "the act of betrayal of one's own group or country". If he had just been a citizen, he would have said he had been executed for his betrayal. Another quote is the very one that adorns the top of Masun's article. The rest can all be found in the Masyaf segment of Memory Block 2 in the game. Pay particular attention to how Al Mualim says "we have been betrayed by one of our own". [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 06:28, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

: As noted by the previous editors, the people of the Masyaf village were under the Assassin's protection but not necessarily Assassins themselves. "One of our own" could mean "one of our own villagers" as easily as it could "one of our own Assassins"; it is am ambiguous statement that leaves the listener to speculate.

: As for the memory, I cite the above: if you assist the enemies of those who would protect you, is that not also a betrayal?

: At no point is Masun clearly designated an Assassin in the same way Abbas, Malik, or even the trainer [[Rauf]] is. He never wears the robes that even the initiates in the Masyaf courtyard wear. There is no clear evidence he is an Assassin, though the speculation is not without merit. As it is speculation, however, it stays out of the article. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 06:33, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

: I don't think you're understanding what I meant about treason. Treason doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as betrayal. It is a specific type of betrayal: the betrayal of a group you are part of, like a country or group. That is why the traditional punishment for treason is death. It is one thing to betray someone's trust. It is quite another to betray your own group, the very people you've served and fought with. [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 16:30, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

:: From [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/treason Merriam-Webster]:
:: 1: the betrayal of a trust : treachery
::2: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family
:: As the Assassins are the sovereign and military power in Masyaf, Masun can commit treason without being a member of the order. I can commit treason against the US without being a soldier. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 16:45, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

:: I see your point. In that case, I believe that a more appropriate template would be Assassin allies. Even if the information provided doesn't prove with 100% certainty that he was a member of the Assassins, it leaves no doubt that he is connected to the Assassin's in some form. I will add the appropriate template. Thank you so much for your understanding and help. You made a far stronger argument against the addition of the Assassin template than Kainzorus Prime. I only wish the users on that other wiki had been as understanding as you have been. [[User:Toolen|Toolen]] ([[User talk:Toolen|talk]]) 20:38, November 19, 2014 (UTC)

==Games hub==
Hey, Dark. Sima told me that you will be responsible for updating the games hub image with ''Rogue'' and ''Unity'' at some point. This might seem pointless, but could you remember to change ''Black Flag''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s image to its updated cover art? Though I could be wrong, I think the current image makes use of the old cover. --{{User:The Crimson Eagle/sig}} 21:26, December 9, 2014 (UTC)
: Hey, Crims -- yeah, I can do that. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 08:34, December 15, 2014 (UTC)

== Retirement ==

Hey Dark, it's been a long time... I would like to retire from my duties as an apprentice since a lot of things came up... I thought that I can't fulfill my duties here in this wiki and I need to focus on my problems first... Thanks for giving me an opportunity to serve this wiki... This message doesn't apply only to you but to the wiki as a whole and since you're my mentor, I thought it would be best to notify you first... I'll be saying my farewell to the wiki as well... Thanks for the time that you guys have given me... Safety and peace, my friend...

Regards,

== Dont Forget! Something New Appears!😀 ==

Dont forget about Assassins Creed Victory. It's the new Assassins Creed coming this Fall of 2015. Its on Xbox One, PS4, and PC! You should write an article about it! Sadly there's no word about another Xbox 360 and PS3 game this year and is said Victory will be the only game this year, unless things change. Besides I'll get xbox One soon this next Christmas so there's no worry. 😉. It says to be set in Victorian London in the 19th century. Pretty interesting Isnt it.[[User:WOT3000|WOT3000]] ([[User talk:WOT3000|talk]]) 22:13, March 5, 2015 (UTC)WOT3000

==Promotion Opportunity==
Greetings DarkFeather,

This is Mike from the Community Development team here at Wikia. I'm reaching out to you and the other Assassin's Creed admins today because we've recently been talking with Ubisoft in an effort to bring (even more) much deserved attention to your outstanding community. As part of these conversations, Ubisoft is interested in spotlighting your community and celebrating their upcoming trailer for Assassin's Creed: Victory by promoting it on your wiki.

Usually this includes a small promotion module on the mainpage and a relevant article page. We would of course design it with the wiki in mind, put it up, take it down and all that. Ideally, it would let fans watch the trailer right here, and then check out more of the game's characters and lore across the wiki. We'd love to be able to work closely with yourselves and Ubisoft to get you and your editors special access to the upcoming game, merch, information/interview opportunities, and more.

Is this something that you think is possible? We'd leave the promotion up a few weeks to make sure everyone sees it, and then take it down once it's run its course. Please let me know what you think, or if you have any feedback on the idea, as soon as you can via my talk page.

Thanks for your time, and hope to hear back from you

== The Kenway Saga ==

Hello? Hi, i was wondering, why is rogue in the kenway saga? what do they both share? if the answer is adewale then why is unity not in the section to considering that Arnos father was also in the game. {{Unsigned|Ninja Bush02}}

''Rogue'' was marketed as the conclusion of the Kenway Saga, because it ties together and ties up the storylines of ''Assassin's Creed III'', ''Liberation'', ''Black Flag'' and ''Freedom Cry''. -- {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}} 12:46, May 4, 2015 (UTC)

== Unity screenshots ==

Hey DarkFeather,

I know you're working on the ''Unity'' screenshots, but there's a girl on tumblr ([http://madeinmasyaf.tumblr.com madeinmasyaf.tumblr.com]) who's got dozens of albums with screencaps on a Flickr account, and her computer appears to be a bit more high-end than yours - would you be okay with it if we used hers instead? ([http://madeinmasyaf.tumblr.com/post/122123789770/hey-sarah-i-read-your-faq-but-im-asking-just-to I sent her a message about it and she's fine with it btw]) I recklessly replaced one already (sorry about that), so I hope you don't mind.

Thanks for reading :) {{User:Crookandcharlatan/sig}} 11:49, June 29, 2015 (UTC)

: Sure, if you want to use those, knock yourself out. If that's the direction we're going, I'll try to touch up most of the memories later tonight. [[User:DarkFeather|DarkFeather]] [[User_talk:DarkFeather|Raven's Nest]][[User:DarkFeather/Sandbox|Raven's Hunt]] 15:56, June 29, 2015 (UTC)

==Wiki background==
Hey, Dark. I was recently wondering how we've managed to get our wiki background into a good, fixed position like we have. I've tried to do the same with another wiki, but have got no idea how to do it. Is it some .css coding that I'm unaware of? Through theme designer, I can get it fixed or tiled, but neither look particularly good. Apparently you're the guy to ask about stuff like this. --{{User:The Crimson Eagle/sig}} 16:49, June 30, 2015 (UTC)

: You probably want the CSS properties from [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] -- they're at the very top. You'll also want to make sure you use Chrome's Inspect Element function to make sure your Wikia installation uses the same properties.

Since Dark has not played Syndicate yet, I'm going to take the liberty of answering this question.

in Stargate seaon 3 episode 13 Apothis is seen using a hidden blade very similar to the assasin creed blade. He also peformed the same moves with it as you can do in assasins creed. However Stargate cam out in the 90s many years before assasins creed. Its on amazon if you want to watch it The hiden blade scene is towards the end [[User:ShadowHawk5|ShadowHawk5]] ([[User talk:ShadowHawk5|talk]]) 19:11, November 15, 2015 (UTC)

'''Sir Jacob Frye''' (1847 – unknown) was a [[Master Assassin]] of the [[British Assassins|British Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]] active in [[London]] during the [[Victorian era]], and the younger twin brother of [[Evie Frye]], later becoming a member of [[Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]]'s [[Order of the Sacred Garter]], and the grandfather of [[Lydia Frye]].

Born in [[Crawley]], where they were raised as Assassins from birth, Jacob and his sister eventually moved to London after their father died of natural causes.

Alongside Evie, Jacob led the [[Rooks]], a criminal syndicate opposing the [[Templars|Templar]]-backed [[Blighters]]. During this endeavor, the twins came into contact with the novelist [[Charles Dickens]], the biologist [[Charles Darwin]] and the inventor [[Alexander Graham Bell]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
{{Quote|Oh, right, my mistake. Ladies and gentlemen, the unstoppable Frye twins; see them nightly at Covent Garden!|George Westhouse sarcastically scolding the twins, 1868.|Assassin's Creed: Syndicate}}
Born four minutes after his twin Evie, Jacob and his sister were raised by their grandmother as their mother [[Cecily Frye|Cecily]] died during childbirth. They were later trained by their father, [[Ethan Frye]], in the Assassin ways. Unlike Evie, Jacob dismissed his father's education, preferring to explore factories and gambling dens in Crawley late at night while Evie trained with Ethan.<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>

Sometime after their father's natural death in 1868, Jacob and Evie traveled to the [[Ferris Ironworks]] with [[George Westhouse]], a fellow Assassin, to eliminate the Templars [[Rupert Ferris]] and [[David Brewster]]. Jacob infiltrated the Ironworks and assassinated Ferris. Escaping the enraged Blighters gang by [[Trains|train]], Jacob narrowly survived the subsequent derailing and crash.<ref name="ACS"/>

The twins later returned to Westhouse, having each completed their tasks. Impatient to journey for London, the twins were scolded by the older Assassin, warning them that it was not Ethan's plans for them. Despite Westhouse's sermon, Jacob and Evie secretly hitched a train to London, intent on liberating it, despite the [[Assassin Council]]'s ruling against it.<ref name="ACS"/>

===Arrival in London===
{{Quote|I've always thought of myself as a gang leader. Firm, but fair. We'll have uniforms. And I'll unite a mix of disenfranchised outsiders under one name. That's it, Evie! We can rally them to our side... I can see it now! We'll call ourselves the Rooks.|Jacob voicing his plans to his sister, 1868.|Assassin's Creed: Syndicate}}
After arriving in [[Whitechapel]], the twins sought out the [[Assassin leader|leader]], and sole remaining Assassin in London, [[Jayadeep Mir|Henry Green]]. Informed of the Templars' vast control over the city, Jacob proposed to form a gang called the Rooks to challenge the Blighters' power in the area, disagreeing with Evie's plan to recover [[Pieces of Eden]]. While discussing this, the three Assassins bumped into the writer Charles Dickens who invited them for a talk sometime. After losing the Blighters tailing them, the twins joined Henry in his shop, where he explained his array of contacts within the city.<ref name="ACS"/>

The twins later encountered a disguised Sergeant [[Frederick Abberline]], who gave them a list of Blighters, whom they could kidnap and bring to him for arrest, preferring living to dead. Jacob and Evie also liberated abused children from the local factories, in order to satisfy their young contact [[Clara O'Dea]], in exchange for access to her network of child informants. Together with the new recruits, the siblings assassinated [[Rexford Kaylock]] and took control of Whitechapel from the Blighters, forming the Rooks in the process.<ref name="ACS"/>

Following a street battle with Kaylock's Blighters, from which they emerged victorious, the Assassins won the gang leader's personal train, and decided to utilize it as their hideout, gaining [[Agnes MacBean]]'s services as a financier in the process. They proceeded to travel to [[Southwark]] to meet Henry Green's accomplice and inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, to fix the broken rope launcher for use on their [[Hidden Blade]] bracers.<ref name="ACS"/>

After Bell returned from installing fuses with Evie, the inventor showed Jacob the first messages of the telegraph and made him a second new rope launcher. The twins then headed to their hideout where they met [[Ned Wynert]], an American transgender entrepreneur, who gave them his business card. The Assassins planned their next motive, with Jacob determined to strengthen the Rooks and eliminate [[Crawford Starrick]]'s associates within London's infrastructure, whilst Evie searched for the [[Shrouds of Eden|Shroud of Eden]].<ref name="ACS"/>

===Rise of the Rooks===

Although in disagreement with Evie's hunt for Pieces of Eden, Jacob aided his sister in recovering an artifact from the Templar occultist [[Lucy Thorne]]'s shipments. He eliminated the guards as Evie searched the chests. However, he was caught and chased by Blighters as he returned to Evie, forcing the twins to flee on a carriage; Jacob took the reins while Evie acted on the defense. Ultimately, their pursuers were closing in, forcing the twins to abandon the carriage and its cargo, though Evie managed to keep hold of a journal belonging to the late [[Edward Kenway]].<ref name="ACS"/>

Jacob began his investigation into the source of ''[[Starrick's Soothing Syrup]]'', which was ravaging London's poor districts. After chasing a [[Merchants|merchant]] and locating the distributor to the factory, stealing his files in the process, Jacob managed to track down and kidnap the distribution boss in the Southwark Foundry, learning from him that Starrick's Soothing Syrup was produced in the distillation building.<ref name="ACS"/>

Arriving there, Jacob witnessed an elderly man attempting to break inside, and hiding when the guards appeared. After eliminating the Blighters guarding the place, Jacob broke the lock of the factory and entered with the man. The duo investigated the tank and its ingredients, learning that the Syrup contained opium, turning it into an addictive and deadly substance. While the man hid near the entrance, Jacob turned the pressure valves, destroying the distillation tanks and setting fire to the building, which Jacob narrowly escaped by jumping through a window. The man introduced himself as Charles Darwin, who showed the Assassin a document that indicated batches of the Syrup were sent to the [[Lambeth Asylum]].<ref name="ACS"/>

He later found Darwin arguing with the asylum owner, [[Richard Owen]], whose carriage Jacob chased and hijacked, damaging it to scare Owen into revealing the creator of the Syrup - the doctor [[John Elliotson]].<ref name="ACS"/>

The twins visited Bell, who upgraded their bracers with a dart mechanism capable of firing [[Poison darts|hallucinogenic darts]]. Jacob and Evie provided assistance to the inventor by recovering cable lines taken by the Blighters in the shipments in College Wharf. They also discovered poison in the shipments from Starrick.<ref name="ACS"/>

After informing Darwin of his latest exploits regarding his hunt for the Syrup creator, Jacob infiltrated the asylum, where he discovered the doctors brutally experimenting on patients for medical purposes. He assassinated Elliotson, who mocked him, calling him childish for not thinking of the consequences of his actions.<ref name="ACS"/>

Continuing their fight against Starrick and his control of the press, the twins returned to Bell's laboratory where the latter told Jacob of Starrick's efforts of bribery to coax the inventor to his side. Aware of the Blighters aiming to attack him, he invented [[Bombs|voltaic bombs]] which would stun assailants and offered them to the twins with insulators to protect the Assassins from harm. Suddenly, the infuriated Blighters arrived; they took this as an opportunity to test the bombs as Bell distracted them through talking.<ref name="ACS"/>

The Assassins 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.<ref name="ACS"/>

Jacob introduced himself to Starrick's fierce business competitor, [[Pearl Attaway]], unaware that she was a Templar and the Grand Master's cousin, to discuss a business preposition. He killed an employee of Attaway's rival company, [[Millner Company]]. The pair traveled to Millner's storage yard where Jacob destroyed their enemy's omnibuses, making [[Malcolm Millner]]'s profit plummet quickly.<ref name="ACS"/>

Soon enough, Jacob suddenly entered Attaway's carriage, obviously disregarding her request for an appointment. The businesswoman gave him a job to secure internal combustion engines being delivered to Millner. Knowing the man he needed, Jacob freed the arrested Ned Wynert from his police convoy and asked for his aid to transfer the package cargo. Climbing aboard the moving Blighters train, the young man searched the cargo for the engines and detached its wagon for Ned's train to recover.<ref name="ACS"/>

Attaway tasked Jacob in murdering Millner who was in the [[River Thames]] with his [[Riverboats|ferry]], the only business he had left. Jacob sabotaged the contraband on the boat to lure Millner outside where he assassinated him. The dying businessman revealed that Crawford and Attaway were family and allies. Dismayed, Jacob located Attaway and overheard her conversation with Starrick that she was a Templar. Finally, he headed to the [[Waterloo station]] to assassinate Attaway, recovered the engines and escaped with the train.<ref name="ACS"/>

===Reclaiming control of London===
Jacob targeted the financial field of Starrick, kidnapping a man to gather intel; the man, however, was Frederick Abberline who was once again in disguise. The sergeant informed the Assassin of a planned robbery of the {{Wiki|Bank of England}}. As the information was confidential, Jacob talked him into revealing the supplier - Cockham Merchants.<ref name="ACS"/>

He later met again with Abberline to continue their investigation. Jacob located the smuggled weapons and tailed their delivery to the Templar [[Philip Twopenny]], under the alias of Plutus. Left with no choice but to stop the heist, Jacob infiltrated the Bank of England and assassinated Twopenny, giving the dead man a coin in mockery to the man's beliefs. As Jacob escaped, Abberline arrested Twopenny's accomplices.<ref name="ACS"/>

Desperate to regain control, Crawford Starrick now entered England's politics, plotting against Queen Victoria for his own profit. As Jacob's latest exploits was to now meddle with the Parliament, Evie warned her brother of the consequences of his latest actions: the increase of fraud medicine, transportation and production problems, and the near collapse of the British currency, problems she mostly fixed.<ref name="ACS"/>

Jacob proceeded in spying on the prime minister of London within the Sinopean Club, following [[Benjamin Disraeli]] and a spy walk out from the meeting. He tackled the man, assuming it was the Templar associate "B", who told him that he was just paid by another man. He was suddenly shot in the head by a sniper. Jacob then chased the sniper, threatening to throw her off the roof to reveal information. The scared woman admitted that she did not know her employer, only giving a description of his appearance. but they were planned to attack the prime minister's carriage.<ref name="ACS"/>

Infiltrating Disraeli's carriage, Jacob pretended to be the prime minister's bodyguard. Disraeli was suspicious of the Assassin however, unlike his wife [[Mary Anne Disraeli|Mary Anne]] who let Jacob speak. There was a sudden gunshot from outside, coming from the police and the Blighters. Jacob defended the Disraelis and chased their hijacked carriage, securing the couple's safety. Jacob then asked Mary Anne for the Templar affiliate he was searching for and the woman agreed in exchange for a tour of the [[Devil's Acre]].<ref name="ACS"/>

The following night, Jacob arrived at their meeting place, but Mary Anne canceled the tour due to scandal-seeking journalists. The Assassin, unable to hurt the journalists, distracted them instead and returned to Mary Anne's carriage. Escaping more journalists, the pair eventually arrived in Devil's Acre and avoided the Blighter thugs on patrol. They later settled to a [[Taverns|tavern]] where Mary Ann's purse, containing her dog [[Desmond]], was stolen. After recovering the dog, Jacob returned only to find Mary Anne advising the thugs. Their misfortune was succeeded by the Blighters chasing their carriage. With the tour coming to an end, Mary Anne revealed the man Jacob was seeking for - the [[James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan|Earl of Cardigan]], and his [[Palace of Westminster|location]].<ref name="ACS"/>

Stealthily infiltrating the Palace of Westminster, Jacob eventually made his way to the Earl and assassinated him. The Earl called him a coward and dramatically announced his death, much to Jacob's irritation. Having done his task, Jacob escaped the palace's guards and Blighter patrols. Unbeknownst to him, his action caused major turmoil in the citizens of London, another problem Evie had to fix for him.<ref name="ACS"/>

Moving to his next target, Jacob accepted London's biggest criminal mastermind and Blighter leader [[Maxwell Roth]]'s invitation for dinner, who found Jacob's accomplishments magnificent. He offered the Assassin a partnership which Jacob accepted. The duo rode into the night to St. Pancras station, where Jacob blew up shipments of explosives belonging to Starrick and Co. With the explosives dealt with, Jacob went to kidnap a driver to deliver the train to Roth.<ref name="ACS"/>

The pair continued their goal to overthrow Starrick's control over London with theft in mind. Roth explained his plan to kidnap three of the Grand Master's henchmen: [[Hattie Cadwallader]], [[Benjamin Raffles]] and [[Chester Swinebourne]]; a task which Jacob accomplished, delivering the trio to Roth's carriage.<ref name="ACS"/>

However, Jacob found Roth's tactics brutal and selfish. He decided to severe the agreement after Roth's unconcern in destroying a factory with innocent laboring children inside. Jacob, opposing Roth's idea of sacrificing innocents for Starrick's downfall, refused, forcing Roth to ignite the explosives himself and Jacob to save the children from the building. He was then given a letter by Roth in the form of a gift, with the corpse of Roth's pet bird inside.<ref name="ACS"/>

To celebrate Starrick's loss and the end of Jacob's partnership, Roth called for a masquerade party in the [[Alhambra Music Hall]]. Jacob took this opportunity to assassinate the Blighter and his decoys during the performance. Roth, now mad with the goal to murder his audience and Jacob, set fire to the stage. Jacob then used his blade to end Roth's life who in turn kissed Jacob, telling him his reason of killing innocents was just because he wanted to. The Assassin narrowly escaped the flaming theater.<ref name="ACS"/>

With his sister, the Rooks eventually took control of London's boroughs, eliminating the Blighters threat with their Templar leaders [[Bloody Nora]], [[Lilla Graves]], [[Victor Lynch]], [[Octavia Plumb]], [[Cletus Strain]] and [[Edith Swinebourne]] by launching a gang war between the two rivals.<ref name="ACS"/>

===Assassinating Crawford Starrick===
After assassinating Maxwell Roth, Jacob returned to Evie, who scolded him with his disinterest in the Shroud and reckless planning. Evie mentioned their father, a sore topic for Jacob, and the siblings argued. Henry calmed them down and told them about a ball to be held in [[Buckingham Palace]] where Starrick was planning to steal the Piece of Eden and eliminate the heads of church and government.<ref name="ACS"/>

Finding this a good opportunity to assassinate Starrick, Jacob formulated a plan with Evie and invited the Disraelis to their hideout. The twins told them their need to enter the ball and offered their plan to steal the invitations of [[Catherine Gladstone|Catherine]] and [[William Gladstone]], much to the Disraelis' glad approval.<ref name="ACS"/>

Jacob then headed to the Gladstones' house to recover the invitations and eventually tracked Mrs. Gladstone and hijacked her carriage. Finding that weaponry was not allowed in the ball, Jacob asked Frederick Abberline for ideas and the latter told him to acquire the royal guards' uniform. The Assassin proceeded to St. Martin's Church, stole one, giving it to Abberline.<ref name="ACS"/>

The twins successfully managed to infiltrate the ball using the Gladstones' carriage and invitations. Jacob sought out Frederick Abberline for their smuggled weapons. The sergeant told Jacob that Starrick had disguised his own men with the royal guards. The Assassin came to the rescue, killing all of the impostors. Afterwards, Jacob sent his sister a signal.<ref name="ACS"/>

However, Evie lost her precursor necklace to Starrick and ordered her brother to locate the [[Buckingham Palace Vault|vault]]. Jacob made his way to the vault, finding Starrick with the Shroud. He failed to attack the Templar; instead, Starrick choked him. The vault's activated defense mechanism sent Jacob sprawling to the floor. Finally recovering, Jacob had to save his sister in return from the clutch of Starrick. After exchanging more blows with Starrick, the two of them were trapped.<ref name="ACS"/>

Fortunately, Henry Green arrived, throwing a [[Throwing knives|knife]] at the Templar. Joining the fight, Henry too was knocked off his feet by the Templar. Jacob and Evie continued the fight and manged to remove the Shroud and end Starrick's life. With the Templar threat gone, the rift between the siblings vanished. Jacob returned the Shroud as Evie attended at Henry's side.<ref name="ACS"/>

A short time later, the three Assassins met with Queen Victoria, who was grateful to her saviors. The queen knighted them to her Order of the Sacred Garter. The twins then raced off to their hideout, leaving Henry behind.<ref name="ACS"/>

===Later life===
Jacob eventually married and had at least one child, a son, who was also invested into the Assassin Order; in time, a granddaughter, Lydia Frye, was born. With Lydia's parents often away on the continent performing missions for the Brotherhood, responsibility for Lydia’s training fell to Jacob and Evie.<ref name="LydiaFryedatabase">''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' - [[Database: Lydia Frye]]</ref>

At the outbreak of [[World War I|war]] in 1914, Jacob and Evie were removed to the safety of the countryside, while Lydia remained in London to protect the city from [[Germany|German]] spies and Templar agents.<ref name="LydiaFryedatabase"/>

==Personality and characteristics==
{{Quote|I'm no criminal. I just do as I please.|Jacob Frye.}}
Jacob was an impulsive, reckless and rebellious individual with a quick wit and an aggressive demeanor. While he was brought up as an Assassin, Jacob grew up under a strict lifestyle that restricted his active behavior. As a result, he began to resent his father as well as his teachings, and usually lost his composure when Evie brought their deceased father into their arguments. Furthermore, 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. As such, he was easily dismissive of Pieces of Eden, preferring to focus on his targets.<ref name="ACS"/>

Coupled with his reckless behavior, Jacob remained oblivious to the chaos created by his actions. Assassinating Starrick's Templar associates created as much harm as good, and when brought up by Evie, Jacob simply dismissed them. Instead, he justified his actions by claiming he was doing something proactive in toppling Starrick's power, unlike Evie who was obsessed in tracking down the Pieces of Eden.<ref name="ACS"/>

However, complimenting his impulsive and reckless behavior, Jacob was very good at thinking on his feet, part of the reason he survived his own recklessness. Also, as a gang leader, Jacob proved himself as a criminal strategist and organizer.<ref name="ACS"/>

While "having fun" was very important to Jacob, he was not above altruistic acts and fighting for the disenfranchised. Furthermore, he had no desire to harm any innocent civilians, cutting off all ties with Maxwell Roth for doing so. Upon seeing how dangerous Roth's anarchism was, Jacob finally realized the flaw in his own idea of freedom. As such, he came to understand the tenets of the Creed, and acknowledged that his father was right all along.<ref name="ACS"/>

===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 Master Assassin adept at both stealth and combat, despite his preference for the latter. He was also a skilled [[Freerunning|freerunner]], able to scale the tall buildings of London with relative ease.<ref name="ACS"/>

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 Blades, one of which was equipped with a rope launcher – a versatile tool that he could utilize to access and scale areas quickly, as well as create [[ziplines]].<ref name="ACS"/>

Accompanying this, the Hidden Blade was equipped with a mechanism that fired [[Poison darts|hallucinogenic darts]]; firing a dart into an open flame would result in a poisonous gas cloud, allowing Jacob to eliminate multiple enemies from a distance. Other weapons in his possession included a [[Short blades|kukri]] blade, a [[Swords|cane-sword]], a six-shot [[Firearms|revolver]] and throwing knives.<ref name="ACS"/>

Additionally, Jacob possessed the rare ability of [[Eagle Vision]].<ref name="ACS"/>

==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''.
*Much like [[Aveline de Grandpré]], Jacob possessed additional headwear other than the traditional beaked Assassin hood, being able to wear a cap or top hat.
*Jacob keeps a shilling around his neck as a memento.
*Jacob possesses a scar on his right eyebrow, as well as one on the left side of his beard.
*Jacob has a tattoo of a raven on his left collarbone and another depicting a stylized cross on the shoulder.
*Jacob is the youngest known Master Assassin, followed by his sister Evie, who is only four minutes older, and Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad, who was 25 when he received the title.
*Unlike several of his predecessors, Jacob does not possess a pony-tailed hairstyle.
*Similar to the [[Levantine Assassins|Levantine Brotherhood]], Jacob and Evie dipped an object in their targets' blood following their death, though the twins used a handkerchief rather than a [[Feathers|feather]].

'''Sir Jacob Frye''' (1847 – unknown) was a [[Master Assassin]] of the [[British Assassins|British Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]] active in [[London]] during the [[Victorian era]], and the younger twin brother of [[Evie Frye]], later becoming a member of [[Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom|Queen Victoria]]'s [[Order of the Sacred Garter]], and the grandfather of [[Lydia Frye]].

Born in [[Crawley]], where they were raised as Assassins from birth, Jacob and his sister eventually moved to London after their father died of natural causes.

Alongside Evie, Jacob led the [[Rooks]], a criminal syndicate opposing the [[Templars|Templar]]-backed [[Blighters]]. During this endeavor, the twins came into contact with the novelist [[Charles Dickens]], the biologist [[Charles Darwin]] and the inventor [[Alexander Graham Bell]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
{{Quote|Oh, right, my mistake. Ladies and gentlemen, the unstoppable Frye twins; see them nightly at Covent Garden!|George Westhouse sarcastically scolding the twins, 1868.|Assassin's Creed: Syndicate}}
Born four minutes after his twin Evie, Jacob and his sister were raised by their grandmother as their mother [[Cecily Frye|Cecily]] died during childbirth. They were later trained by their father, [[Ethan Frye]], in the Assassin ways. Unlike Evie, Jacob dismissed his father's education, preferring to explore factories and gambling dens in Crawley late at night while Evie trained with Ethan.<ref name="ACS">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]''</ref>

Sometime after their father's natural death in 1868, Jacob and Evie traveled to the [[Ferris Ironworks]] with [[George Westhouse]], a fellow Assassin, to eliminate the Templars [[Rupert Ferris]] and [[David Brewster]]. Jacob infiltrated the Ironworks and assassinated Ferris. Escaping the enraged Blighters gang by [[Trains|train]], Jacob narrowly survived the subsequent derailing and crash.<ref name="ACS"/>

The twins later returned to Westhouse, having each completed their tasks. Impatient to journey for London, the twins were scolded by the older Assassin, warning them that it was not Ethan's plans for them. Despite Westhouse's sermon, Jacob and Evie secretly hitched a train to London, intent on liberating it, despite the [[Assassin Council]]'s ruling against it.<ref name="ACS"/>

===Arrival in London===
{{Quote|I've always thought of myself as a gang leader. Firm, but fair. We'll have uniforms. And I'll unite a mix of disenfranchised outsiders under one name. That's it, Evie! We can rally them to our side... I can see it now! We'll call ourselves the Rooks.|Jacob voicing his plans to his sister, 1868.|Assassin's Creed: Syndicate}}
After arriving in [[Whitechapel]], the twins sought out the [[Assassin leader|leader]], and sole remaining Assassin in London, [[Jayadeep Mir|Henry Green]]. Informed of the Templars' vast control over the city, Jacob proposed to form a gang called the Rooks to challenge the Blighters' power in the area, disagreeing with Evie's plan to recover [[Pieces of Eden]]. While discussing this, the three Assassins bumped into the writer Charles Dickens who invited them for a talk sometime. After losing the Blighters tailing them, the twins joined Henry in his shop, where he explained his array of contacts within the city.<ref name="ACS"/>

The twins later encountered a disguised Sergeant [[Frederick Abberline]], who gave them a list of Blighters, whom they could kidnap and bring to him for arrest, preferring living to dead. Jacob and Evie also liberated abused children from the local factories, in order to satisfy their young contact [[Clara O'Dea]], in exchange for access to her network of child informants. Together with the new recruits, the siblings assassinated [[Rexford Kaylock]] and took control of Whitechapel from the Blighters, forming the Rooks in the process.<ref name="ACS"/>

Following a street battle with Kaylock's Blighters, from which they emerged victorious, the Assassins won the gang leader's personal train, and decided to utilize it as their hideout, gaining [[Agnes MacBean]]'s services as a financier in the process. They proceeded to travel to [[Southwark]] to meet Henry Green's accomplice and inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, to fix the broken rope launcher for use on their [[Hidden Blade]] bracers.<ref name="ACS"/>

After Bell returned from installing fuses with Evie, the inventor showed Jacob the first messages of the telegraph and made him a second new rope launcher. The twins then headed to their hideout where they met [[Ned Wynert]], an American transgender entrepreneur, who gave them his business card. The Assassins planned their next motive, with Jacob determined to strengthen the Rooks and eliminate [[Crawford Starrick]]'s associates within London's infrastructure, whilst Evie searched for the [[Shrouds of Eden|Shroud of Eden]].<ref name="ACS"/>

===Rise of the Rooks===

Although in disagreement with Evie's hunt for Pieces of Eden, Jacob aided his sister in recovering an artifact from the Templar occultist [[Lucy Thorne]]'s shipments. He eliminated the guards as Evie searched the chests. However, he was caught and chased by Blighters as he returned to Evie, forcing the twins to flee on a carriage; Jacob took the reins while Evie acted on the defense. Ultimately, their pursuers were closing in, forcing the twins to abandon the carriage and its cargo, though Evie managed to keep hold of a journal belonging to the late [[Edward Kenway]].<ref name="ACS"/> I ruled the world for a bit but a teacher called Miss Jollin swore and I hired Bruno Sammartino and he killed Evie and Ma am.

Jacob began his investigation into the source of ''[[Starrick's Soothing Syrup]]'', which was ravaging London's poor districts. After chasing a [[Merchants|merchant]] and locating the distributor to the factory, stealing his files in the process, Jacob managed to track down and kidnap the distribution boss in the Southwark Foundry, learning from him that Starrick's Soothing Syrup was produced in the distillation building.<ref name="ACS"/>

The man introduced himself as Charles Darwin, who showed the Assassin a document that indicated batches of the Syrup were sent to the [[Lambeth Asylum]].<ref name="ACS"/>

He later found Darwin arguing with the asylum owner, [[Richard Owen]], whose carriage Jacob chased and hijacked, damaging it to scare Owen into revealing the creator of the Syrup - the doctor [[John Elliotson]].<ref name="ACS"/>

The twins visited Bell, who upgraded their bracers with a dart mechanism capable of firing [[Poison darts|hallucinogenic darts]]. Jacob and Evie provided assistance to the inventor by recovering cable lines taken by the Blighters in the shipments in College Wharf. They also discovered poison in the shipments from Starrick.<ref name="ACS"/>

After informing Darwin of his latest exploits regarding his hunt for the Syrup creator, Jacob infiltrated the asylum, where he discovered the doctors brutally experimenting on patients for medical purposes. He assassinated Elliotson, who mocked him, calling him childish for not thinking of the consequences of his actions.<ref name="ACS"/>

Continuing their fight against Starrick and his control of the press, the twins returned to Bell's laboratory where the latter told Jacob of Starrick's efforts of bribery to coax the inventor to his side. Aware of the Blighters aiming to attack him, he invented [[Bombs|voltaic bombs]] which would stun assailants and offered them to the twins with insulators to protect the Assassins from harm. Suddenly, the infuriated Blighters arrived; they took this as an opportunity to test the bombs as Bell distracted them through talking.<ref name="ACS"/>

The Assassins 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.<ref name="ACS"/>

Jacob introduced himself to Starrick's fierce business competitor, [[Pearl Attaway]], unaware that she was a Templar and the Grand Master's cousin, to discuss a business preposition. He killed an employee of Attaway's rival company, [[Millner Company]]. The pair traveled to Millner's storage yard where Jacob destroyed their enemy's omnibuses, making [[Malcolm Millner]]'s profit plummet quickly.<ref name="ACS"/>

Soon enough, Jacob suddenly entered Attaway's carriage, obviously disregarding her request for an appointment. The businesswoman gave him a job to secure internal combustion engines being delivered to Millner.

Desperate to regain control, Crawford Starrick now entered England's politics, plotting against Queen Victoria for his own profit. As Jacob's latest exploits was to now meddle with the Parliament, Evie warned her brother of the consequences of his latest actions: the increase of fraud medicine, transportation and production problems, and the near collapse of the British currency, problems she mostly fixed.<ref name="ACS"/>

Jacob proceeded in spying on the prime minister of London within the Sinopean Club, following [[Benjamin Disraeli]] and a spy walk out from the meeting. He tackled the man, assuming it was the Templar associate "B", who told him that he was just paid by another man. He was suddenly shot in the head by a sniper. Jacob then chased the sniper, threatening to throw her off the roof to reveal information.

To celebrate Starrick's loss and the end of Jacob's partnership, Roth called for a masquerade party in the [[Alhambra Music Hall]]. Jacob took this opportunity to assassinate the Blighter and his decoys during the performance. Roth, now mad with the goal to murder his audience and Jacob, set fire to the stage. Jacob then used his blade to end Roth's life who in turn kissed Jacob, telling him his reason of killing innocents was just because he wanted to. The Assassin narrowly escaped the flaming theater.<ref name="ACS"/>

With his sister, the Rooks eventually took control of London's boroughs, eliminating the Blighters threat with their Templar leaders [[Bloody Nora]], [[Lilla Graves]], [[Victor Lynch]], [[Octavia Plumb]], [[Cletus Strain]] and [[Edith Swinebourne]] by launching a gang war between the two rivals.<ref name="ACS"/>

===Assassinating Crawford Starrick===
After assassinating Maxwell Roth, Jacob returned to Evie, who scolded him with his disinterest in the Shroud and reckless planning. Evie mentioned their father, a sore topic for Jacob, and the siblings argued. Henry calmed them down and told them about a ball to be held in [[Buckingham Palace]] where Starrick was planning to steal the Piece of Eden and eliminate the heads of church and government.<ref name="ACS"/>

Finding this a good opportunity to assassinate Starrick, Jacob formulated a plan with Evie and invited the Disraelis to their hideout. The twins told them their need to enter the ball and offered their plan to steal the invitations of [[Catherine Gladstone|Catherine]] and [[William Gladstone]], much to the Disraelis' glad approval.<ref name="ACS"/>

Jacob then headed to the Gladstones' house to recover the invitations and eventually tracked Mrs. Gladstone and hijacked her carriage. Finding that weaponry was not allowed in the ball, Jacob asked Frederick Abberline for ideas and the latter told him to acquire the royal guards' uniform. The Assassin proceeded to St. Martin's Church, stole one, giving it to Abberline.<ref name="ACS"/>

The twins successfully managed to infiltrate the ball using the Gladstones' carriage and invitations. Jacob sought out Frederick Abberline for their smuggled weapons. The sergeant told Jacob that Starrick had disguised his own men with the royal guards. The Assassin came to the rescue, killing all of the impostors. Afterwards, Jacob sent his sister a signal.<ref name="ACS"/>

However, Evie lost her precursor necklace to Starrick and ordered her brother to locate the [[Buckingham Palace Vault|vault]]. Jacob made his way to the vault, finding Starrick with the Shroud. He failed to attack the Templar; instead, Starrick choked him. The vault's activated defense mechanism sent Jacob sprawling to the floor. Finally recovering, Jacob had to save his sister in return from the clutch of Starrick. After exchanging more blows with Starrick, the two of them were trapped.<ref name="ACS"/>

Fortunately, Henry Green arrived, throwing a [[Throwing knives|knife]] at the Templar. Joining the fight, Henry too was knocked off his feet by the Templar. Jacob and Evie continued the fight and manged to remove the Shroud and end Starrick's life. With the Templar threat gone, the rift between the siblings vanished. Jacob returned the Shroud as Evie attended at Henry's side.<ref name="ACS"/>

A short time later, the three Assassins met with Queen Victoria, who was grateful to her saviors. The queen knighted them to her Order of the Sacred Garter. The twins then raced off to their hideout, leaving Henry behind.<ref name="ACS"/>

===Later life===
Jacob eventually married and had at least one child, a son, who was also invested into the Assassin Order; in time, a granddaughter, Lydia Frye, was born. With Lydia's parents often away on the continent performing missions for the Brotherhood, responsibility for Lydia’s training fell to Jacob and Evie.<ref name="LydiaFryedatabase">''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' - [[Database: Lydia Frye]]</ref>

At the outbreak of [[World War I|war]] in 1914, Jacob and Evie were removed to the safety of the countryside, while Lydia remained in London to protect the city from [[Germany|German]] spies and Templar agents.<ref name="LydiaFryedatabase"/>

==Personality and characteristics==
{{Quote|I'm no criminal. I just do as I please.|Jacob Frye.}}
Jacob was an impulsive, reckless and rebellious individual with a quick wit and an aggressive demeanor. While he was brought up as an Assassin, Jacob grew up under a strict lifestyle that restricted his active behavior. As a result, he began to resent his father as well as his teachings, and usually lost his composure when Evie brought their deceased father into their arguments. Furthermore, 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. As such, he was easily dismissive of Pieces of Eden, preferring to focus on his targets.<ref name="ACS"/>

Coupled with his reckless behavior, Jacob remained oblivious to the chaos created by his actions. Assassinating Starrick's Templar associates created as much harm as good, and when brought up by Evie, Jacob simply dismissed them. Instead, he justified his actions by claiming he was doing something proactive in toppling Starrick's power, unlike Evie who was obsessed in tracking down the Pieces of Eden.<ref name="ACS"/>

However, complimenting his impulsive and reckless behavior, Jacob was very good at thinking on his feet, part of the reason he survived his own recklessness. Also, as a gang leader, Jacob proved himself as a criminal strategist and organizer.<ref name="ACS"/>

While "having fun" was very important to Jacob, he was not above altruistic acts and fighting for the disenfranchised. Furthermore, he had no desire to harm any innocent civilians, cutting off all ties with Maxwell Roth for doing so. Upon seeing how dangerous Roth's anarchism was, Jacob finally realized the flaw in his own idea of freedom. As such, he came to understand the tenets of the Creed, and acknowledged that his father was right all along.<ref name="ACS"/>

===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 Master Assassin adept at both stealth and combat, despite his preference for the latter. He was also a skilled [[Freerunning|freerunner]], able to scale the tall buildings of London with relative ease.<ref name="ACS"/>

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 Blades, one of which was equipped with a rope launcher – a versatile tool that he could utilize to access and scale areas quickly, as well as create [[ziplines]].<ref name="ACS"/>

Accompanying this, the Hidden Blade was equipped with a mechanism that fired [[Poison darts|hallucinogenic darts]]; firing a dart into an open flame would result in a poisonous gas cloud, allowing Jacob to eliminate multiple enemies from a distance. Other weapons in his possession included a [[Short blades|kukri]] blade, a [[Swords|cane-sword]], a six-shot [[Firearms|revolver]] and throwing knives.<ref name="ACS"/>

Additionally, Jacob possessed the rare ability of [[Eagle Vision]].<ref name="ACS"/>

==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 possesses a scar on his right eyebrow, as well as one on the left side of his beard.
*Jacob has a tattoo of a raven on his left collarbone and another depicting a stylized cross on the shoulder.

*Unlike several of his predecessors, Jacob does not possess a pony-tailed hairstyle.
*Similar to the [[Levantine Assassins|Levantine Brotherhood]], Jacob and Evie dipped an object in their targets' blood following their death, though the twins used a handkerchief rather than a [[Feathers|feather]].
