Jacob Frye (1847 – unknown) was a British Assassin active in London during the Victorian era, and the twin brother of Evie Frye.

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.

Alongside Evie, Jacob led the Rooks, a criminal syndicate opposing the Templars. Unlike his level-headed and stealthy sister, Jacob was reckless and rebellious. And at some point in his life, Jacob came into contact with the novelist Charles Dickens, and the biologist Charles Darwin.

Equipment and skills

Having been trained by the Brotherhood from birth, Jacob was a skilled Assassin, adept at freerunning. He was also an experienced brawler, proficient in hand-to-hand combat and could easily engage multiple enemies.

Due to the era's restriction on open weaponry, Jacob kept an arsenal of hidden tools, including his Hidden Blade which was equipped with a rope launcher and hallucinogenic darts. In terms of equipment, he wielded a kukri blade, a cane-sword, a six-shot revolver, throwing knives, and brass knuckles.

In addition, he possessed the rare ability of Eagle Vision.
