Assassin's Creed Syndicate/Setting

In 1868, at the tail end of the Industrial Revolution, with the Assassin Brotherhood all but eradicated in Victorian London, Jacob Frye (Paul Amos) leaves Crawley for London and arrive to find a city controlled by the Templars, with both the Church and the Monarchy losing their power. Raised as an Assassin to follow the Creed, Jacob aims to take back the city from Templar control by infiltrating and uniting London's criminal underworld,[8][16] aided by notable figures of the era such as novelist Charles Dickens, biologist Charles Darwin, inventor Alexander Graham Bell, political theorist Karl Marx, nurse Florence Nightingale, Duleep Singh (the last maharajah of the Sikh Empire), Sergeant Frederick Abberline of the Metropolitan Police Service (known for his investigation of Jack the Ripper), and Queen Victoria.[17][18] Additionally, Jacob's grandson, Lester Frye (Lance Norton), appears in a separate World War I segment, where he aids Winston Churchill in defending London against a new enemy espionage faction.[19] [[Category:A]]
