Frank Morris (unknown – 1868) was a British anarchist and an acquaintance of the philosopher Karl Marx in the 19th century.
Biography
Sometime in 1868, Frank Morris' son died of exhaustion after his 18-hour shift in a factory, leading to Morris' dismay and fury. Consumed by grief, he blamed the government for refusing to protect the rights of a worker. To exact his revenge, Morris planned to steal a shipment of nitroglycerin to attack the House of Parliament. His friend, Karl Marx later learned this and asked the twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye to put a stop in Morris' actions.
The Assassins caught Frank Morris driving the carriage of chemicals in the City of London and hijacked his ride. The twins managed to calm the man down as they were pursued by the Templar-affiliated gang Blighters. They defended Morris after an ambush from the enemy gang. Unfortunately, the Blighters stole the carriage of nitroglycerin.
Soon enough, Frank Morris located the stolen carriage for him and the Assassins to recover. Though the twins asked him to return to his home and do the job themselves, Morris insisted in his desire for justice. The Assassins destroyed the crates and returned to Marx.
Personality and characteristics
An anarchist, Frank Morris strongly disagreed with capitalism and the abusive treatment of workers. He was a seeker of justice and would stop at nothing to ensure it. After recovering for the death of his son, Morris made sure that no worker would ever be mistreated again, even if it meant murder.
