"They call us the rooks. I call us family."

―Jacob Frye.

The Rooks were a criminal gang active in London during the 19th century, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, and led by the Assassin siblings Jacob and Evie Frye.

The criminal syndicate was regularly involved in fighting the Templar-controlled gang, the Blighters, vying for influence and territory in the city, mainly through overrunning their strongholds, hunting their members, liberating their factories of the child laborers, and eventually engaging in gang wars.

Trivia

A rook is a member of the crow family of birds, asserting the continued connotation of Assassins and avians.
The Rooks' symbol depicts a rook clutching onto a chess piece, the knight, marked with a Templar cross, symbolizing the Assassins', and by extension the Rooks', goal of getting rid of the Templar Order and their gangs.
