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
Due to the era's restriction on open weaponry, Jacob kept an arsenal of hidden tools, including a six-shot revolver, a kukri blade, throwing knives, and a cane-sword. Like most Assassins, Jacob also possessed a Hidden Blade, equipped with hallucinogenic darts and a rope launcher.[3]
Trivia
