Talk:Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper Identity Theory in AC: S

Here's a crazy thought but; people have been comparing Jack the Ripper and Jacob together, thinking they're the same person because of their outfit, their build, the lack of Jacob in the trailer and the fact that Jack the Ripper's voice sounds like an older version of Jacob's but what if it isn't him? What if it's a different Frye; say, Ethan Frye, the father of Evie and Jacob? He could have used a Piece of Eden to make him younger and because of it's power it turned him mad. It's strange, but it could be possible if a Piece of Eden did that, right? Yes, it's crazy but it's the only explanation I can give for people thinking Jacob is Jack the Ripper. GamerSophie (talk) 19:58, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

Ethan Frye is dead. He died of natural causes prior to Evie and Jacob's journey to London. At this point, I really don't think it's a member of the Frye family; we might not even get to know who Jack the Ripper was in the DLC. Maybe he escapes Jacob and Evie?

That's where I got the 'make him younger' idea from. It's the only rational explanation I can think of on why people think Jacob would become Jack the Ripper. I don't care who it is but I want to be surprised and kept on my toes. I don't mind if it's Jacob or Evie or even Clara! Yes, Jack the Ripper is suspected to be a woman. Yes, he could escape Jacob and Evie but what if-because the real Jack the Ripper disappears in 1888-he is killed, demasked, his identity is revealed and they hide his identity from the public because he was part of the Order or someone they trusted? GamerSophie (talk) 20:08, October 29, 2015 (UTC)

You can't make a corpse younger :P I think we can definitely rule out Ethan as being Jack the Ripper, unless the Shroud of Eden's healing powers can even bring back those who are long dead. Which, in my opinion, would a bad creative decision to make since it cheapens death. That's a bad idea in a franchise that is all about assassinating people.

I'm curious as to what they'll do with it - reportedly, the writer of the DLC is the person that wrote the Dreadful Crimes content, which means we'll likely have a crime scene to analyze. I don't really want Jack to be an existing character like Clara though, that'd be really awful. There could be various reasons for his disappearance, but it is important to note that Sergeant Abberline worked the case and the Frye twins are allied with him; that means that IF they manage to apprehend Jack the Ripper and potentially kill him, they'd need to have a very good reason to keep that a secret from Abberline. Jack being a former Assassin or driven mad by a Piece of Eden for example. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 20:14, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
