Biography
As the inventor of the telegraph, Alexander Graham Bell shared the same adversary with the London Assassins - Crawford Starrick. This caused him to form an alliance and friendship with the Assassin leader Henry Green and aided his exploits against the Templar-affiliated gang Blighters.[1]
In 1868, Green introduced the twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye to Bell, and fixed the Rope Launcher for them. In return, Evie Frye assisted Bell in setting up a free telegraph line for companies competing against Starrick Telegraph to use, by installing new fuses in the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster, while at the same time suggesting that he rename his phonetic telegraph as the telephone. The inventor also showed the Assassin the formula of smoke bombs. Returning to his workshop, Bell showed Jacob the first messages of his invention.[1]
Much later, Bell also installed a dart mechanism in their Assassin gauntlets. The twins further assisted him by recovering cable lines taken by the Blighters in the College Wharf and informed him of a poison shipment from Starrick.[1]
He also created voltaic bombs, which allowed the Assassins to stun assailants.[2]
