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.

- 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?

- 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)
The only Piece of Eden capable of restoring youth that we know of is the Fountain of Youth, which if it hadn't been moved or destroyed would still be in Florida at that time. -- Master Sima Yi Talk 20:22, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
Jacob turns crazy and makes a 'monster' out of dead corpses like the story of Frankenstein? Lol. :P
Okay, here is the list of people I made which we can both analyse and see if one is more likely to be Jack the Ripper:
Jacob Frye - Could be but bad plot idea as everyone thinks it's him but it's Ubisoft, they make good DLCs so if it is him they'll give it some spice to keep us riled up.
Ethan Frye - Dead. (This isn't a revamped story of Frankenstein).
Henry Green - Only on this list because we know nothing of what he did after he and Evie went to India in 1869. His time after that year is unknown to us.
Evie Frye - She's in the trailer in her 'Ball' attire so not her.
Clara O'Dea - It would be funny as hell if it was her but sadly it's unlikely.
George Westhouse - God knows what he's doing, but he is closer to dying at this point as he is now old so unlikely.
An Assassin - More likely.
A police officer - More likely.
He's old enough to have a deep voice, considered to be in his late 30's to late 50's because they casted John Newman to voice him. Also, it is not stated if you will play Evie or Jacob. It says 'the player' so it's not confirmed if we are yet again playing the Frye twins; I do want to play 40 year old Jacob and Evie though. Lol. GamerSophie (talk) 20:31, October 29, 2015 (UTC)
