Evie Frye

Dame Evie Frye (born 1847) was a Master Assassin of the British Brotherhood during the Victorian era, and the elder twin sister of Jacob Frye. She later became a member of Queen Victoria's Order of the Sacred Garter. She is also an ancestor of the scientist and Assassin Jackie O'Connell.[1] Originating from Crawley, Evie and her brother were raised and trained by their widowed father in the Assassins' ways. Unlike the carefree Jacob, Evie took her training very seriously and relished in their father's teachings. Due to her preference for stealth over combat, she also tended to meticulously plan out her approach ahead of each mission, which often put her at odds with Jacob due to their conflicting methods. Following her father's death from natural causes in 1868, Evie, wishing to continue his legacy, accompanied Jacob to London, against their superiors' wishes. There, they sought to liberate the city from the Templars' control and help the poverty-stricken masses. To accomplish this, they founded the Rooks, a criminal syndicate that opposed the Templar-backed Blighters. While Jacob focused on eliminating targets instrumental to Grand Master Crawford Starrick's operations, Evie pursued the Shroud of Eden, an Isu artifact hidden within the city. In doing so, she worked alongside her fellow Assassin Henry Green, and regularly came into conflict with Lucy Thorne, Starrick's second-in-command. During her mission, Evie also came to understand the disadvantages of her approach to dealing with the Templars, and learned to rely more on her own thoughts instead of blindly following her father's teachings. After she and Jacob assassinated Starrick to prevent him from misusing the Shroud, Evie married Henry and migrated with him to India while her brother stayed behind to rebuild the London Brotherhood. However, she would be forced to return to London in 1888, to stop the reign of terror of Jack the Ripper, one of Jacob's Assassin apprentices who had gone rogue and seized control of the Rooks.
