Charles Robert Darwin (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist and geologist, best known for his work on Evolution. At some point, he met the Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye.[1] He is an ancestor to Vanessa.[2]
Biography
Early life
Due to his interests in nature, Charles Darwin neglected his education in medicine at the University of Edinburgh, much to his father's irritation. In turn, his father sent him to Christ's College at the University of Cambridge, in hopes of turning him into an Anglican parson. This did not stop Darwin's passion for the natural sciences, and instead intensified it, preferring his collection of beetles instead of studying.[3]
Darwin's detailed journal of his voyage aboard HMS Beagle made him famous in scientific circles. Upon his return, his father helped Darwin invest so that he could function as a self-funded gentleman scientist. However, his successes and overwork came to a toll in his physical health and Darwin easily caught illnesses and plagues.[3]
Eventually, Darwin managed to publish his work On the Origin of Species by 1859.[3]
Working with the Frye Twins
Sometime in 1868, Charles Darwin investigated the Starrick's Soothing Syrup's factory, aware of its effect on the London populace. Darwin tried to sneak inside, only to find the gate locked and the Templar-affiliated gang Blighters arriving. The scientist hid himself and took the opportunity when the Assassin Jacob Frye eliminated the guards and opened the lock.[3]
Sharing the same goal in stopping the Syrup's production, the two discovered that the syrup contained the drug opium and turned the pressure lever for the distillation tanks to burst and release gas. Fortunately, the pair escaped the now burning building. Darwin then introduced himself to the young Assassin.[3]
Later Life
By the 1870s, Darwin became one of the most popular biologists in the world, with his theory of evolution and unified life sciences which explained the diversity on the planet. He was honored with a burial in the Westminster Abbey.[3]
