Jacob Frye

Born four minutes after his twin Evie, Jacob and his sister were initially raised by their grandmother as their mother, Cecily, died during childbirth and their father, Ethan, left for India to mourn and recover from the loss. Once the twins had turned six, Ethan returned to Crawley to personally raise and train them as Assassins.

Unlike Evie, who relished in their father's teachings, Jacob paid far less attention to them and gradually came to resent his father's lessons. While his sister trained with Ethan late at night, Jacob took to exploring factories and gambling dens in Crawley and beyond. Despite this, he grew up to become a competent Assassin, specializing in combat as opposed to Evie's preference for stealth and thoughtful planning, and was eager to unleash his potential.

When his father died of pleurisy in early 1868, Jacob felt liberated of his obligation as a small-town Assassin and believed his chance to prove himself to the Brotherhood had finally come. Coordinating with George Westhouse, a fellow Assassin and friend of Ethan's, in Croydon, Jacob was tasked to assassinate the Templar Rupert Ferris, owner of Ferris Ironworks, while Evie went after David Brewster.
