"They call us the rooks. I call us family."

―Jacob Frye.

The Rooks were a gang active in London during the 19th century, led by the Assassin siblings Jacob and Evie Frye.

The syndicate was regularly involved in fighting Templar controlled gangs, the Blighters, vying for influence and territory in the city.
