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, 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] However, at some point in his life, Jacob came into contact with the novelist Charles Dickens and biologist Charles Darwin.[2]
