But Cavanaugh discovered the true allegiance of Jayadeep after interrogating the Indian Assassin [[Ajay]]. Cavanaugh attempted to reveal Jayadeep's allegiance but he fled before he was able to do so. Ethan, the twins and Westhouse cornered Ajay before he committed suicide. Discovering the truth, Ethan saved Jayadeep from Cavanagh. The young Assassin refused to continue to work for the Brotherhood after he learnt that his friends were killed by the Templars. In 1865, after a visit from his parents, Jayadeep resumed his work under Ethan and adeopted a change of identity, becoming the curiosity seller Henry Green.

The Frye family was a 19th century British ennobled family who had an important role in the British Brotherhood of Assassins for the liberation of London from the British Rite of the Templar Order.

History

Protectors of Crawley

The roots of the Frye family took place in Crawley, a city in the south of England where the British Assassins installed after losing the control of London during the mid-18th century. At the dawn of the 19th century, the schoolmaster Ethan Frye became an Assassin and married another member of the Brotherhood, Cecily. Working together, they became high-ranking Assassins and recruited George Westhouse, a mill worker in Crawley.[1]

File:ACCI Ethan Arbaaz.jpg
Ethan holding the Koh-i-Noor with Arbaaz Mir

In 1841, Ethan travelled to India to protect the Koh-i-Noor, a Piece of Eden created by the Isu. In Amritsar, he met the Indian Assassin Arbaaz Mir and they became close friends.[2] In 1847, Cecily gave birth to twins, Evie and Jacob but Cecily died of complications shortly thereafter. Depressed, Ethan couldn't raise his children who indirectly caused the death of his wife. He sent the twins to Cecily's mother and returned to India to train Jayadeep Mir, the son of Arbaaz and Pyara Kaur. Although the young Assassin was talented, Ethan knew that Jayadeep lacked the killer instinct. But as a mentor-pupil bond developed between the two, Jayadeep convinced Ethan to return to England to raise his children.[3]

Arriving in 1853, Ethan began to train his children in the ways of the Creed of the Brotherhood teaching them patience and to never let personal feelings get in the way of the mission. He also instilled in them a sense of social duty, teaching them to help the people achieve freedom rather than simply eliminating oppressors. Evie followed the lessons of her father and was concerned by the history of the Brotherhood and the search of the Pieces of Eden, preparing plans and acting stealthily. On the contrary, Jacob preferred exploring Crawley and acting as he please, improvising and brawling his way out of delicate situations. Even though his children weren't the same, Ethan though that each uniqueness could be an asset for the Brotherhood.[3]

Liberating London

In 1860, Ethan learned that Jayadeep risked being executed by the Brotherhood for failing to kill a target. He saved his apprentice, requesting the Indian Brotherhood to send Jayadeep to London as punishment. Without the permission of the Assassin Council, Jayadeep became Ethan's contact in the city which was under the control of the industrial Crawford Starrick, the Grand Master of the British Templars. In 1862, Jayadeep infiltrated the Templars, associating with the Templar Cavanagh. He discovered that the Templars searched an Apple of Eden during Metropolitan Railway excavation. But Cavanaugh discovered the true allegiance of Jayadeep after interrogating the Indian Assassin Ajay. Cavanaugh attempted to reveal Jayadeep's allegiance but he fled before he was able to do so. Ethan, the twins, and Westhouse cornered Ajay before he committed suicide. Discovering the truth, Ethan saved Jayadeep from Cavanagh. The young Assassin refused to continue to work for the Brotherhood after he learned that his friends were killed by the Templars. In 1865, after a visit from his parents, Jayadeep resumed his work under Ethan and adopted a change of identity, becoming the curiosity seller Henry Green. He established a network of information by allying with the orphans led by Clara O'Dea and associating with the police Sergeant Frederick Abberline.[3]

In January 1868, Ethan died of pleurisy. With their father's death, the siblings had a tense relationship, while Evie remembering her father's lessons, Jacob mocked them. Westhouse became the mentor of the twins and in February, the three Assassins went to Croydon to accomplish a mission. Jacob was tasked to kill the Templar industrialist Rupert Ferris while Evie had to assassinate the Templar scientist David Brewster and recovering the Apple of Eden. Although the siblings succeeded to kill their targets, Brewster's laboratory exploded before Evie could take the artifact. However, she learned that the Templar Lucy Thorne searched a Shroud of Eden in London. The twins requested Westhouse to sent them to London to fight the Templars but he refused. After his departure, the siblings agreed to go to London without the permission of the Council.[1]

Henry Green meeting Jacob and Evie Frye

Arriving in London, the twins Frye came into contact with Green, who explained that Starrick with his industries controlled every step of the city, the medical field, the transports, the politics, and the media. He also used a gang, the Blighters, to control the streets of London. With the information of Henry, the siblings assassinated Templars in the city and helped Sergeant Abberline by arresting some leaders of the Blighters. They also helped O'Dea to save the children who were forced to work in the Templar-controlled factories. To fight the Blighters, Jacob decided to form his own gang, even if his sister was against the idea. Saving members of the Clinkers gang, the Assassins formed the Rooks and began to take strongholds from the Blighters. They first liberated the borough of Whitechapel from the Templar Rexford Kaylock taking his train as a hideout and recruiting members of the Blighters in the Rooks. The criminal businessman Ned Wynert entered in contact with the Assassins to have their support against his primary rival the Blighters. The twins also became associated with Alexander Graham Bell, who crafted for them new weapons and they helped him to sabotage devices from the Starrick Telegraph Company.[1]

While Jacob killed Starrick's lieutenants, Evie and Henry searched the Shroud of Eden with the indices of Edward Kenway's journal. During her quest, Evie killed Thorne and recovered a key to open the box containing the Shroud. She also developed feelings for Henry, which compromised a mission as she decided to save him rather than following the Templars, who took plans leading to the location of the Shroud. Remembering her father's view on personal feelings, she decided to stop working with Green on the field. As Jacob brought chaos in the city after the assassination of his targets, Evie was forced to repair her brother's mistakes. The twins disputed about their methods and decided to finish their partnership after a last mission to stop Starrick.[1]

The Assassins induction in the Order of the Sacred Garter

During a party at Buckingham Palace, Jacob killed Starrick's henchmen who took the place of the guards to assassinate the Queen Victoria and the head of Church and State. Evie discovered the plan of the vault under the palace where the Shroud was hidden, but Starrick stole the key to the artifact box during a forced dance with Evie. The Templars entered the vault and Starrick was able to recover and wear the Shroud. The Frye twins attacked him but the artifact healed every flesh wounds he received. The Templars took advantage of the Assassins, but Green interrupted Starrick which gave time to the siblings to attack together with the Grand Master, taking off the Shroud and killing him. The Assassins decided to let the Shroud remain in the vault. At the same time, the twins renewed their partnership and Evie assumed her feelings for Henry, who reciprocated them. Leaving the vault, the Assassins were received by the Queen who was informed by Abberline that they saved her life. As recognition, she knighted the trio into the Order of the Sacred Garter.[1]

Sometime thereafter, the remaining Templars regrouped and planned terrorist attacks on London. The siblings were able to foil their plan to kill the Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli and to bomb the Palace of Westminster. The Queen requested the Fryes to help her to expand her empire, but they refused as it was not in accordance with the Creed.[1]

The Frye twins continued to operate in London, investigating paranormal activities with Charles Dickens and the Ghost Club, protecting the research of Charles Darwin, helping Karl Marx to improve the working class situation and investigating on mysterious murders with the young Arthur Conan Doyle. They also protected Duleep Singh, who was targeted by the Templars and the East India Company as he tried to reclaim his throne.[1] In 1872, Evie and Henry helped the Pikerton detective Tommy Greyling who tracked an American Templar in London.[4]

Jacob, Jack, Henry and Evie in India

Later, Henry proposed to Evie and the pair decided to move to India. Jacob replaced Henry as the leader of the Assassins in London and recruited new apprentices from the orphans and the prostitutes of the city. One of his apprentices was a young boy known as Jack the Lad, a child who was psychologically mistreated at Lambeth Asylum and held a grudge against Jacob for not saving his mother from Starrick's men. Despite this, Jacob considered and treated Jack like his son. In 1873, Jacob visited India with Jack and other apprentices to learn the fear tactics of the Indian Brotherhood. Jacob saw Evie and Henry one last time before returning to London. Later, Jacob had a relationship with a woman and had at least one child with her.[5]

In 1888, Jack became more extremist about his vision of the Creed, believing that the Assassins must instill fear into the citizens of London. He usurped control of the Rooks and eliminated those who sided with Jacob. Centering his criminal operations in the borough of Whitechapel, the rogue Assassin went on to become infamously known as the serial killer Jack the Ripper. At some point during the year, Jacob sent a letter to his sister requesting her presence in London. Later Jacob tried to stop Jack with four Assassin-apprentices, disguised as prostitutes. Jack brutally murdered all the apprentices, orchestrating them as the act of a maniac. In September, after the murders of his two last apprentices, Jacob was captured by his former apprentice.[5]

A month later, Evie arrived in London where Inspector Abberline explained that her brother had disappeared. Discovering the true identity of the serial killer, Evie compromised his plans, killing his allies Olwyn Owers and John Billingsworth and closing his personal prison in Deptford Dockyard. After Jack killed Mary Kelly, Evie confronted the serial killer in the Lambeth Asylum and killed him with his own knife. She found Jacob wounded but alive in a cell of the asylum. With the cooperation of Abberline, they decided to keep the identity of Jack hidden from the public to prevent compromising the Brotherhood.[5]

World War I

In 1893, the Frye family expanded with the birth of Lydia Frye, Jacob's granddaughter. She was reluctant to join the Brotherhood as the rest of her family but after losing family and friends in the Assassin-Templar War, she finally joined the Assassins. As her parents were often in missions on the continent for the Brotherhood, Lydia was trained by Jacob and Evie. With the teachings of their two different styles, Lydia became a well-balanced Assassin, preparing precise plans and improvising when she needed it.[1]

Lydia Frye with Winston Churchill during WWI

Lydia fell in love with Sam Crowder, a fellow member of the Assassins. The two married in 1914, shortly before the beginning of World War I. Sam enlisted in the British Army and Lydia stayed in London after securing the elderly Fryes in the countryside. As the only Assassin in London, Lydia protected the city from any threats. In 1916, she worked with Winston Churchill to stop a spy ring led by the Master Spy, a Templar Sage who convinced some members of the Order to join the Instruments of the First Will. Lydia located the Master Spy and killed him.[1]
