Who is the playable male protagonist of Assassin's Creed Syndicate?

Jacob Frye is the playable male protagonist of Assassin's Creed Syndicate. The game is set in London during the Industrial Revolution and follows Jacob and his twin sister, Evie Frye.

Jacob is portrayed as impulsive and eager to challenge the Templars directly. He forms and leads the Rooks, a street gang that helps the Frye twins take control of London districts from criminal organizations and Templar influence. Evie is more methodical and focuses strongly on finding a Piece of Eden.

Syndicate was released in 2015 and introduced several movement and combat tools, including a rope launcher, a compact carriage system, and a cane sword. These mechanics were designed around the dense streets, rooftops, railways, and factories of Victorian London.

The game's historical cast includes Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, Charles Darwin, Florence Nightingale, and Alexander Graham Bell. Jacob and Evie are fictional, while these supporting figures are based on real nineteenth-century people.
