jacob and evie fry

Originating from Crawley, Jacob and his sister were raised and trained by their widowed father Ethan in the Assassins' ways. Unlike the studious Evie, Jacob was dismissive of his father's teachings and relied more on his own thoughts and beliefs. This put a strain in his relationship with his father, whom Jacob eventually came to resent. Due to his preference for combat over stealth, he also tended to approach situations head-on and without much forethought, which often put him at odds with Evie due to their conflicting methods. Following his father's death from natural causes in 1868, Jacob, wishing to prove himself to the Brotherhood, accompanied Evie to London, against their superiors' wishes. There, they sought to liberate the city from the Templars' control and help the poverty-stricken masses. To accomplish this, they founded the Rooks, a criminal syndicate that opposed the Templar-backed Blighters.
