Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s older twin Jacob Frye leads the Rooks.
Jacob and Evie Frye are Assassin twins who travel to London in 1868, during the Industrial Revolution. Jacob is the more openly confrontational of the pair and creates the Rooks, a street gang that helps the Assassins challenge Templar influence across the city.
Evie focuses more heavily on stealth, investigation, and locating an Isu artifact, while Jacob concentrates on direct action and gang warfare. The game allows players to switch between the siblings, although some missions are designed around one particular twin.
The name Rooks refers to Jacob’s allies, not to the Assassin Brotherhood itself. Henry Green, the London Assassin who assists the twins, is also separate from the gang. Lydia Frye is a later descendant who appears in a bonus sequence set during the First World War.
