Before Evie arrives
Jacob offered Nellie a drink after watching her stand up for a fellow worker; she refused, so he bought dinner at the Frying Pan pub instead, and they became close friends. On 30 September 1888 she went to Jacob after hearing of two more murders. He gave her money and told her to leave Whitechapel, but when it ran out she went back to work for Lady O.
The Unfortunates
Rooks drag Nellie to the Kenway Mansion to hear Owers speak. She tells Evie that Lady O is the Ripper's eyes and ears, and Owers then has her locked in a carriage as a decoy. Evie nearly kills her stopping it before learning the truth.
Side work
Once Owers is gone, Nellie's women help Evie blend into crowds. In return Evie confronts abusive clients in public, rescues women the Rooks have kidnapped and clears Lady O's brothels of Jack's men.
