Objectives
Chase the boy who lifts Jacob's purse into an alley and deal with the two thugs waiting there. Race Evie to the highest vantage point, a factory roof, where Henry finds you. Climb the chimney with him to look over Whitechapel, then take a Leap of Faith into the hay cart below. Follow Henry on foot, then take his carriage and fire into the air to draw the Blighters' carriages after you, ramming them until they give up. Drive to Henry's curio shop to finish.
Story setup
Jacob announces his plan for a gang called the Rooks, to Evie's despair, while she insists the real goal is the Piece of Eden. Henry briefs both: Abberline can keep the police off your back, Clara's urchins make good spies, and Kaylock is the Blighter boss who can seem to vanish. He also hands Evie a Templar target to look into.
Behind the scenes
The title borrows a song name from Little Shop of Horrors. In reality Dickens was touring the United States in early 1868, so this meeting is the game's invention.
- Charles DickensCharles Dickens gives the Ghost Club London Stories in Syndicate. He signs the Frye twins up to investigate London's hauntings and monsters, from Spring-heeled Jack to the most haunted house in the city, and nearly every case turns out to have a human culprit.
- Clara O'DeaClara O'Dea is the young girl who runs London's network of street urchins and pickpockets. She trades her intelligence to Jacob and Evie Frye on one condition: that they free the children forced to work in the city's factories, which is the Child Liberation activity.
- Evie FryeEvie Frye is the second playable Assassin in Assassin's Creed Syndicate and the planner of the Frye twins. While Jacob tears down Starrick's businesses, her memories follow the hunt for a Shroud of Eden across London and her rivalry with the Templar occultist Lucy Thorne. She is also the playable lead of the 1888 Jack the Ripper story.
- Henry GreenHenry Green is the head of the Assassins in London when the Frye twins arrive in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. He runs a curiosity shop in Whitechapel that doubles as the Brotherhood's bureau, introduces Jacob and Evie to their key allies and works alongside Evie on the search for the Shroud of Eden. His birth name is Jayadeep Mir.
- Rexford KaylockRexford Kaylock is the Blighter leader of Whitechapel, the first borough the Frye twins fight for in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. He is the target of Gang War: Whitechapel in Sequence 3, and beating him hands the twins the train that becomes their hideout.
