Evie Frye

"My father taught me every intricate detail of the Assassin heritage. While my brother was off wasting time in the streets, I honed my skills. If we're to take this city, it will be by my blade."

- Evie Frye.

Evie Frye (1847 – unknown), born to Ethan and Cecily Frye, was a Master Assassin of the British Brotherhood active in London during the Victorian era, and the elder twin sister of Jacob Frye.

Originating from, Evie and her brother moved to London to overthrow the oppressive Templar-led establishment and help the poverty-stricken masses, following the death of their father by natural causes. To accomplish this, she and Jacob founded the Rooks, a criminal syndicate that opposed the Templars.

During their time in London, the twins came into contact with the biologist Charles Darwin, the novelist Charles Dickens, the inventor Alexander Graham Bell, the socialist Karl Marx, the nurse Florence Nightingale, Queen Victoria, the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire Duleep Singh, and Chief of Metropolitan Police Service Frederick Abberline.

Personality and characteristics
"For every mission, there is a right way and a wrong way. Barging thoughtlessly into combat is, more often than not, the latter."

- Evie Frye.

A true tactician and firm believer in the teachings of the Brotherhood, Evie took to the lessons of her father in a way that her brother did not, being more studious and more interested in the lore and history of the Assassins. She planned her missions carefully and patiently, considering every angle to ensure the best chance of success. Sometimes, this worked against her, as it meant that she was slow to act.

By contrast, her brother Jacob was much quicker to spring into action, yet his plans lacked sufficient forethought as a result. While the twins' means were frequently at odds, their motivations were the same, and the pair were at their most effective when they worked together, as they balanced each other out.

Equipment and skills
"A true master of stealth can blend into any environment. If I remain still, my enemies will have no idea I’m about to strike."

- Evie Frye.

A Master Assassin proficient with the Hidden Blade, Evie was able to assassinate her targets skillfully and stealthily. She excelled at masking her presence, to such an extent that guards were unable to notice her as long as she remained still.

As the carrying of weapons openly was forbidden at the time, she relied on an arsenal of hidden tools, much like her brother. Evie was capable of using a cane-sword, a Kukri, firearms, brass knuckles, Throwing knives, smoke bombs and voltaic bombs, which let loose a blast of electricity upon impact. Her Hidden Blade was also equipped with a rope launcher, allowing her to scale buildings quickly as well as create ziplines, and could fire hallucinogenic darts.

While her brother specialized in brutal and straightforward weaponry like the brass knuckles and the firearms, Evie's stealthy nature led her to prefer more subtle tools like the cane-sword and throwing knives. She was especially proficient with the latter, being able to carry a larger amount and hit targets at a greater range than her brother.

She was also a skilled freerunner and possessed the rare ability of Eagle Vision.
