In Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Jacob Frye leads the playable Assassin duo in London. Jacob and his twin sister, Evie Frye, operate in the city during the Industrial Revolution and work to weaken Templar control.
Jacob is portrayed as impulsive and eager for direct action. He forms and commands the Rooks, a street gang that supports the Assassins and helps them challenge rival forces across London. Evie is more focused on stealth, investigation, and locating powerful Pieces of Eden, creating a deliberate contrast between the twins.
The wording matters because both Jacob and Evie are playable protagonists. Jacob is the male twin and the leader associated with the Rooks, while Evie is his sister and partner rather than an incorrect or secondary version of him.
Syndicate is set in London in 1868. Its historical setting includes industrial expansion, organized crime, labor tensions, and figures such as Queen Victoria, Charles Darwin, and Charles Dickens.
