In Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Jacob Frye becomes the playable character in the game's first sequence. Jacob and his twin sister Evie are Assassin protagonists who arrive in London in 1868 to challenge Templar control during the Industrial Revolution.
The opening gameplay introduces Jacob before the campaign expands to feature both twins. Jacob is generally associated with direct combat, gang leadership, and taking territory from the Blighters, while Evie is more strongly associated with stealth, investigation, and the search for an Isu artifact. The game lets players switch between them for most activities, with some missions requiring a specific twin.
Evie is a co-lead rather than the answer to this opening-sequence question. Henry Green is an Assassin ally in London, and Maxwell Roth is a criminal leader encountered during the story. The twins' shared campaign is one of Syndicate's defining structural features.
