Biography[]
Lydia Frye in 1916
Born into relative comfort, Jacob Frye's granddaughter Lydia was initially reluctant to enter into the "family business", preferring to concentrate on her studies. However, it was this very education that showed her just how much influence the Templars still held over the history of the world. After seeing family and friends fall in the family battle, she decided to join the fight. Lydia's parents were often engaged in Assassin missions across the continent, so the role of instructor fell to her grandfather Jacob and great-aunt Evie. She became a very well-balanced Assassin, one who could carefully assess any situation and strike with precision, but one who could also think for herself and improvise when a plan fell through.
Lydia fell in love with a fellow Assassin named Sam Crowder and they were married shortly before the outbreak of the First World War. Assassins from all across Europe were pulled in every direction, in order to have a presence in every theatre of war and seat of power. While Sam, along with many others from the British Brotherhood, enlisted in the army, Lydia took it upon herself to stay and watch over London. After securing the elder Fryes safely away in the countryside, Lydia returned to London, and worked alone to protect it not only from German spies and the manipulative British Rite of the Templar Order, but also from any new and strange threats that sought to take advantage of the chaos.
In 1916, Lydia Frye worked together with Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill in hunting down a ring of German spies in London that assisted the Germans in launching zeppelin raids on the city. She succeeded in killing two groups of German spies around Tower Bridge and used an anti-aircraft gun to shoot down several German planes; she did not know how to use the weapon at first, but she was able to save London from the German attack. She also assassinated nurse Araminta Fitzgerald ("The Night Nurse"), who was poisoning wounded British soldiers, as well as her brother Benedict Lovett ("The Watcher"), before killing Julius Lytton, better known as "The Magpie". After hunting down several spies and assassinating them, Frye was able to kill the master spy Max Kehrer, ending the Germans' threat to London.
