Lore & Background
While Evie utilized diplomacy and strategy to undermine the Templar Grand Master Crawford Starrick from within high society, Jacob took to the streets. He rallied the oppressed citizens and criminals into a new faction known as the Rooks. Through this gang, he systematically drove out the Blighters who enforced Templar rule in various districts of London.
In Their Own Story
The gaslight flickered against the thick fog clinging to Whitechapel's cobblestones. Jacob adjusted his grip on the weighted chains, the metal cold against his palms. Below him, three Blighter enforcers guarded a supply wagon marked with Templar insignia. With a sharp exhale, he dropped from the rooftop shadow, landing silently before erupting into motion. The flails whistled through the smog as he spun, clearing the path for the Rooks to seize the cargo.
Reader's Guide
Jacob Frye is defined by his impulsive nature and raw combat prowess, contrasting sharply with his sister's calculated approach. As a street-smart Assassin, he relies on brute strength and agility rather than stealth alone to dismantle Templar operations across the capital.
His journey begins with tragedy, as both siblings return to London following their parents' murder by Templar agents. While Evie seeks political leverage against the Grand Master Crawford Starrick, Jacob focuses on liberating the criminal underworld through force. Together, they establish the Rooks gang to challenge Blighter control over the city's districts.
Over time, Jacob matures from a vengeance-driven youth into a strategic leader who understands the weight of protecting the Brotherhood's legacy. His mastery of dual bladed flails remains his signature style, allowing him to dominate open combat encounters. Ultimately, he secures London's freedom while ensuring the Assassin Order survives into the modern era.
