Passing through the slums, he tried to avoid the curious street children who were trying to peek in the body.<ref name="ACUW">''[[Assassin's Creed: Underworld]]''</ref>

	Eventually reaching the mortuary yard, he discovered that the corpse had been replaced by a body of a dead [[Horse\|pony]]. With his embarrassing failure, his fellow officers started to call him nicknames and puns. Eventually, Abberline decided to return to Belle Isle and bribe the children to discover the thief's identity: a robed man wearing a cowl, undoubtedly an [[Assassins\|Assassin]].<ref name="ACUW" /> ~~After stroving~~ for ~~hard work~~, his ~~efforts paid off~~ with a ~~promotion~~ to ~~Sergeant~~ by ~~1865~~.<ref name="~~Database~~" />		Eventually reaching the mortuary yard, he discovered that the corpse had been replaced by a body of a dead [[Horse\|pony]]. With his embarrassing failure, his fellow officers started to call him nicknames and puns. Eventually, Abberline decided to return to Belle Isle and bribe the children to discover the thief's identity: a robed man wearing a cowl, undoubtedly an [[Assassins\|Assassin]].<ref name="ACUW" />

			Continuing his investigation, Abberline met in a bar with fellow constable [[Aubrey Shaw]], who had been assigned to investigate the double murder of a thief named [[Boot (thief)\|Boot]] and a little girl. As Aubrey's case also involved a hooded man, the two returned to the slums to search for clues and found a witness who informed them that a man matching Robert Waugh's description was the murderer.<ref name="ACUW" />

			Abberline subsequently went to the Waughs' house to deliver the news to Robert's wife. However, when he arrived, he was assaulted by a group of [[Templars]] and incapacitated by a [[Jayadeep Mir\|hooded figure]] while the others made off with Mrs. Waugh. Suspecting the kidnappers to be working for [[Cavanagh]], the supervisor of the railway site and a prime suspect in his investigation, Abberline accosted the Templar and his band, to no avail.<ref name="ACUW" />

			Later, after a meeting with Aubrey in a bar, Abberline noticed that he was being tailed and accosted his pursuer, learning that he was a private investigator hired by a viscount who had recently been attacked by "an [[India\|Indian]] acrobat".

	===Working with the Assassins===		===Working with the Assassins===
			After stroving for hard work, Abberline's efforts paid off with a promotion to Sergeant by 1865.<ref name="Database" /> Around this time, Abberline officially became acquainted with Jayadeep Mir, by now known as Henry Green, and aided the Assassin in his efforts to [[Liberation of London\|liberate]] [[London]] from the Templars' control. Due to the secretive nature of his work, he opted to wear disguises whenever he met with the Assassin or his associates in public.<ref name="Abberline We Presume">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Abberline, We Presume]]</ref>

			In 1868, Abberline married his first wife, Martha Mackness, but she died of {{Wiki\|tuberculosis}} later that year.<ref name="Wiki">{{WP\|Frederick Abberline}}</ref> He also maintained contact with Aubrey Shaw, who had since retired from the police force to open a butcher shop. While meeting for [[tea]] one day, the two old friends caught up with each other and Abberline informed Aubrey of his wife's passing.<ref name="ACUW" />

	By 1868, Abberline ~~had become an associate of [[Jayadeep Mir\|Henry Green]], the leader of the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins\|British Assassins]] in London. In February of that year, he~~ became acquainted with Henry's fellow Assassins, the twins [[Jacob Frye\|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]], ~~and, trying~~ to make a name for himself, enlisted their services to apprehend criminals who were part of the ~~[[Templars\|~~Templar]]-affiliated [[Blighters]].~~<ref>~~''[[~~Assassin's Creed: Syndicate~~]]~~'' – [[~~Abberline, We Presume~~]]<~~/~~ref~~>		In February 1868, Abberline became acquainted with Henry's fellow Assassins, the twins [[Jacob Frye\|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]], who had recently arrived in London. Seeking to make a name for himself, he enlisted their services to apprehend various criminals who were part of the Templar-affiliated [[Blighters]]. Doing so also benefited the Assassins' interests, as the capture of high-ranking Blighters left the territories they controlled open for the taking, allowing the Fryes' gang, the [[Rooks]], to occupy them.<ref name="Abberline We Presume" />

	Sometime later, Abberline disguised himself as a banker named Dredge to gain information in the inner sanctum of the Templar [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Crawford Starrick]]'s financial sector. While undercover, he learned of a plot to rob the [[Bank of England]], but his cover was soon blown by Jacob after the Assassin accidentally kidnapped him. Abberline revealed his disguise and reluctantly provided Jacob with confidential information of the supplier - Cockham Merchants - so that the Assassin could investigate the plot.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[A Case of Identity]]</ref>		Sometime later, Abberline disguised himself as a banker named Dredge to gain information in the inner sanctum of the Templar [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Crawford Starrick]]'s financial sector.

Passing through the slums, he tried to avoid the curious street children who were trying to peek in the body.<ref name="ACUW">''[[Assassin's Creed: Underworld]]''</ref>		Formerly a clockmaker from [[Dorset]], Abberline joined the Metropolitan Police in 1862.<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Database: Frederick Abberline]]</ref> Starting as a Police Constable, Abberline was called when the photographer [[Robert Waugh]]'s body was found in the construction site of the world's {{Wiki\|Metropolitan Railway\|first underground railway}}.

Passing through the slums, he tried to avoid the curious street children who were trying to peek in the body.<ref name="ACUW">''[[Assassin's Creed: Underworld]]''</ref>

	Eventually reaching the mortuary yard, he discovered that the corpse had been replaced by a body of a dead [[Horse\|pony]]. With his embarrassing failure, his fellow officers started to call him nicknames and puns. Eventually, Abberline decided to return to Belle Isle and bribe the children to discover the thief's identity: a robed man wearing a cowl, undoubtedly an [[Assassins\|Assassin]].<ref name="ACUW" /> ~~After stroving~~ for ~~hard work~~, his ~~efforts paid off~~ with a ~~promotion~~ to ~~Sergeant~~ by ~~1865~~.<ref name="~~Database~~" />		Eventually reaching the mortuary yard, he discovered that the corpse had been replaced by a body of a dead [[Horse\|pony]]. With his embarrassing failure, his fellow officers started to call him nicknames and puns. Eventually, Abberline decided to return to Belle Isle and bribe the children to discover the thief's identity: a robed man wearing a cowl, undoubtedly an [[Assassins\|Assassin]].<ref name="ACUW" />

			Continuing his investigation, Abberline met in a bar with fellow constable [[Aubrey Shaw]], who had been assigned to investigate the double murder of a thief named [[Boot (thief)\|Boot]] and a little girl. As Aubrey's case also involved a hooded man, the two returned to the slums to search for clues and found a witness who informed them that a man matching Robert Waugh's description was the murderer.<ref name="ACUW" />

			Abberline subsequently went to the Waughs' house to deliver the news to Robert's wife. However, when he arrived, he was assaulted by a group of [[Templars]] and incapacitated by a [[Jayadeep Mir\|hooded figure]] while the others made off with Mrs. Waugh. Suspecting the kidnappers to be working for [[Cavanagh]], the supervisor of the railway site and a prime suspect in his investigation, Abberline accosted the Templar and his band, to no avail.<ref name="ACUW" />

			Later, after a meeting with Aubrey in a bar, Abberline noticed that he was being tailed and accosted his pursuer, learning that he was a private investigator hired by a viscount who had recently been attacked by "an [[India\|Indian]] acrobat". Meeting with the viscount's bodyguard, who had encountered this supposed acrobat, Abberline failed to extract any useful information from him. Sometime afterwards, Abberline found Aubrey severely beaten and decided to shelter his colleague, suspecting that both of their lives were in danger for meddling with [[Assassin-Templar War\|affairs]] beyond their understanding.<ref name="ACUW" />

			While attending the inauguration of the railway, Abberline spotted Cavanagh's men manhandling [[Jayadeep Mir]], and also took notice of the presence of the Assassin [[Ethan Frye]], who unbeknownst to him, was the robed man he had been pursuing. When Ethan came under attack by Cavanagh's thugs, Abberline rushed to his aid and helped the Assassin defeat his assailants, allowing Ethan to follow Jayadeep and Cavanagh into the railway tunnel, where the latter had fled with an [[Apple of Eden 7\|Apple of Eden]] taken from the murdered solicitor [[Charles Pearson]].<ref name="ACUW" />

	===Working with the Assassins===		===Working with the Assassins===
			After stroving for hard work, Abberline's efforts paid off with a promotion to Sergeant by 1865.<ref name="Database" /> Around this time, Abberline officially became acquainted with Jayadeep Mir, by now known as Henry Green, and aided the Assassin in his efforts to [[Liberation of London\|liberate]] [[London]] from the Templars' control. Due to the secretive nature of his work, he opted to wear disguises whenever he met with the Assassin or his associates in public.<ref name="Abberline We Presume">''[[Assassin's Creed: Syndicate]]'' – [[Abberline, We Presume]]</ref>

			In 1868, Abberline married his first wife, Martha Mackness, but she died of {{Wiki\|tuberculosis}} later that year.<ref name="Wiki">{{WP\|Frederick Abberline}}</ref> He also maintained contact with Aubrey Shaw, who had since retired from the police force to open a butcher shop. While meeting for [[tea]] one day, the two old friends caught up with each other and Abberline informed Aubrey of his wife's passing.<ref name="ACUW" />

	By 1868, Abberline ~~had become an associate of [[Jayadeep Mir\|Henry Green]], the leader of the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins\|British Assassins]] in London. In February of that year, he~~ became acquainted with Henry's fellow Assassins, the twins [[Jacob Frye\|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]], ~~and, trying~~ to make a name for himself, enlisted their services to apprehend criminals who were part of the ~~[[Templars\|~~Templar]]-affiliated [[Blighters]].~~<ref>~~''[[~~Assassin's Creed: Syndicate~~]]~~'' – [[~~Abberline, We Presume~~]]<~~/~~ref~~>		In February 1868, Abberline became acquainted with Henry's fellow Assassins, the twins [[Jacob Frye\|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]], who had recently arrived in London. Seeking to make a name for himself, he enlisted their services to apprehend various criminals who were part of the Templar-affiliated [[Blighters]]. Doing so also benefited the Assassins' interests, as the capture of high-ranking Blighters left the territories they controlled open for the taking, allowing the Fryes' gang, the [[Rooks]], to occupy them.<ref name="Abberline We Presume" />

	Sometime later, Abberline disguised himself as a banker named Dredge to gain information in the inner sanctum of the Templar [[Grand Master of the Templar Order\|Grand Master]] [[Crawford Starrick]]'s financial sector. While undercover, he learned of a plot to rob the [[Bank of England]], but his cover was soon blown by Jacob after the Assassin accidentally kidnapped him.

	In 1888, a British Assassin who would soon become known as "[[Jack the Ripper]]" usurped control of Jacob's [[Rooks]] and committed a series of gruesome murders.
