- "I've changed since the years of lessons from my father and my sister Evie pushing me constantly to improve. Now, I'm strong enough to run free and wild through the streets of London. And run wild, I will."
- ―Jacob Frye.
Jacob Frye (1847 – unknown) was a Master Assassin[1] of the British Brotherhood of Assassins active in London during the Victorian era, and the younger twin brother of Evie Frye.[2]
Born in Crawley, where they were raised as Assassins from birth, Jacob and his sister moved to London to overthrow the oppressive establishment and help the poverty-stricken masses.[3]
Alongside Evie, Jacob led the Rooks, a criminal syndicate opposing the Templars. And at some point in his life, Jacob came into contact with the novelist Charles Dickens, and the biologist Charles Darwin.[3]
Personality and characteristics
- "I'm no criminal. I just do as I please."
- ―Jacob Frye.
Unlike his level-headed and stealthy elder sister, Jacob was a reckless and rebellious individual.[2] While he was brought up as an Assassin, 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.[4]
Equipment and skills
- "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 skilled Assassin, adept at both stealth and combat, despite his preference for the latter. He was also a skilled freerunner and possessed the rare ability of Eagle Vision.[4]
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 Blade, which was equipped with a rope launcher – a versatile tool that he could utilize to access and scale areas quickly, as well as create zip lines.[5]
Accompanying this, the Hidden Blade contained hallucinogenic darts, allowing him to eliminate groups of enemies at a distance upon the dart's contact with an open flame. Other weapons in his possession included a kukri blade, a cane-sword, a six-shot revolver and throwing knives.[5][6]
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 keeps a shilling around his neck as a memento.
