Cecily Frye (died 1847) was a member of the British Brotherhood of Assassins during the Victorian era, the wife of Ethan Frye and the mother of twins Jacob and Evie Frye. She was also the great-grandmother of Jacob's granddaughter Lydia Frye. Though Evie, she was an ancestor to the 21st-century Assassin scientist Jackie O'Connell.[1]
Biography[edit | edit source]
The only daughter of an English steelworks manager based in the Rhondda Valley of southern Wales, and a Welsh mother,[2] Cecily at some point fell in love with and married Ethan Frye, a British Assassin, after which she went on to join the Brotherhood herself. In time, the couple acted as the superiors of the Assassin George Westhouse, whom they trained and ran missions with.[3]
On 9 November 1847, Cecily gave birth to Jacob and Evie, but died of complications shortly thereafter.[2] Depressed and in mourning, Ethan traveled to India for some time,[4] after accepting an offer from Cecily's mother to raise Jacob and Evie until the age of six.[2][5]
However, Ethan never truly recovered from the loss of his wife, which had a great impact on the way he raised and trained his children. He became cold and distant, and taught Jacob and Evie to never "allow personal feelings to compromise the mission." Ethan's young apprentice Henry Green caught on to this and later spoke about it with his great-uncle, Maharaja Duleep Singh. During a conversation with Evie in 1868, Singh told her that pain can blind people and cause them to say outlandish things to protect their loved ones, which made Evie reconsider the way she approached Ethan's lessons.[6]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The name Cecily is an English feminine form of Cecil, derived from the Roman name Caecilius, which itself is based on the Latin coccus, meaning "seed". Frye is a derivative of the English word free.
