About 20 years after the fall of the British Templars lead by Grand Master Crawford Starrick, a new threat emerged from within the Assassins when a former pupil later dubbed "Jack the Ripper" adopted an extremist view of the Creed. Hoping to intervene in his madness, a group of women in the British Brotherhood took the aliases of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, and Catherine Eddowes, all local prostitutes in Whitechapel. Jack brutally murdered the women for attempting to stop him, and began promoting terror by targeting other prostitutes in the region. The case was solved by Inspector Chief Frederick Abberline of the Metropolitan Police Service with the help of the Master Assassin Evie Frye, who both ensured that Jack's identity and prior allegiances were never revealed.
