Jacob Frye (1847 – unknown) was a British Assassin active in London during the Victorian era, and the twin brother of Evie Frye.[1] Originating from Crawley, where they were raised as Assassins since their birth, Jacob and his sister moved to London to overthrow the oppressive establishment and help the poverty-stricken masses.[2]
Alongside her, Jacob led the Rooks, a criminal syndicate opposing the Templars. Unlike his level-headed and stealthy sister, Jacob was reckless and rebellious.[1] And at some point in his life, Jacob came into contact with the novelist Charles Dickens and biologist Charles Darwin.[2]
Equipment and skills
Having been trained by the Brotherhood from birth, Jacob was a skilled Assassin, he was a skilled freerunner as he could easily scale the buildings of London including the iconic Big Ben.
He was an experienced brawler, proficient in hand-to-hand combat and could easily engage multiple enemies, when equipped with his pair of brass knuckles which added to his brutal tactics which gave him an overall advantage in combat.
Due to the era's restriction on open weaponry, Jacob kept an arsenal of hidden tools which included his Hidden blade which was a versatile weapon, equipped with a rope launcher which allowed him to instantly jump from the ground and onto a high building in a matter of seconds; additionally it contained hallucinogenic darts. In terms of equipment he wielded a kurri blade, a cane-sword, a six-shot revolver and throwing knives.
In addition he possessed the rare ability of Eagle Vision.
