Talk:Jacob Frye
Jacob Frye's Shilling Necklace
Did they mention about his Shilling Necklace. Since it was mentioned as a give away to those pre-ordered or something I would thought it would be an important plot point. --Cococrash11 (talk) 16:51, May 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Didn't catch anything regarding a necklace - it might be similar to Arno's pocketwatch. Striking, but ultimately possessing little relevance to the plot. Crook The Constantine District 16:56, May 12, 2015 (UTC)
- I believe it's a preorder bonus, at least I've seen that mentioned in a few articles. I agree with the above^ in that it's like Arno's pocketwatch, in that it doesn't really serve any purpose to the plot. Echoh98 (talk) 17:26, May 12, 2015 (UTC)
- This is pre-alpha footage, so it may just be an oversight, or it becomes important later on. Slate Vesper (talk) 18:30, May 12, 2015 (UTC)
Is Jack the Ripper was his alter-ego?
Jack/Jacob? It's a familiar name, could it be his Alter-ego?
- Doubt it. Syndicate takes place during 1868, while the Ripper killings were committed around 1888. Also, please sign your posts. Crook The Constantine District 06:32, July 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Also, "Jack the Killer" is something you just made up. If you mean "Jack the Ripper" then I suppose it is entirely possible, but it's not something likely to be covered in this game, if only for the dating issue (as pointed out by Crook). --Jasca Ducato (talk | contributions) 21:31, July 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Well there is a Jack the Ripper DLC for the game coming out next month, so he could be. It's possible for a nice guy like him to turn crazy during the 20 year gap between Syndicate and the DLC, however Jacob is married and with children during this time-this comes from the birthdate of Lydia Frye, his granddaughter-and experts believe Jack the Ripper was not married or had any known children. But we'll just have to see; suspicious as Jacob is not shown in the trailer but Evie is. GamerSophie (talk) 03:24, October 26, 2015 (UTC)
Outfits
I've uploaded some images for alternate outfits that were available, but some (particularly the "Gunslinger" one) are not available yet. If someone has an image of that outfit, please upload that in the gallery.
Also, as for outfit names, I know Ezio's full name, but I haven't written it because that's how the game (at least the PS4 version) designates it, while Edward's outfit is designated by his full name.

Dreadful Crimes
So I was playing Syndicate and I finished the Dreadful Crimes missions, when Jacob says 'The Gruesome Whitechapel Murders' by 'Artie' when he mentions something Artie should write about. However, all the murders in the missions happen in different boroughs, not one of them in Whitechapel and they weren't gruesome; but the murders of Jack the Ripper were. Why would Jacob mention something which would happen 20 years into the future? Hmm... GamerSophie (talk) 03:20, October 26, 2015 (UTC)
- Did he say this in a particular mission or after finishing all of them? I've played most of the Dreadful Crimes so far, but always as Evie, so I haven't heard anything in that vein. It could simply (hopefully) be a reference. Crook The Constantine District 22:17, October 26, 2015 (UTC)
- He (SPOILER) said it at the end of the very last mission to Artie when he and Evie save him from Henry Raymond. You don't need to play either of them to hear it as it is a cutscene. GamerSophie (talk) 13:58, October 27, 2015 (UTC)
- I played the mission today - to me, it appears to be just a cheeky reference from the writers to the Jack the Ripper killings. Crook The Constantine District 14:33, October 27, 2015 (UTC)
- It would be awesome if it was a hint to what would come though, if you get what I mean. GamerSophie (talk) 15:25, October 27, 2015 (UTC)
