Bio: Emmett Frye is the first-born son of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner. Born out of wedlock, a year after the start of the second Assassin-Templar conflict, he was a surprise to both his parents, the result of a night of passion and declaration from the young Assassins.
His birth occured in the Rooks' Strongholds in The Strand, since his mother, at the time, refused to return to St. Albans or appear in public in fear of damaging her Aunt and Uncle's reputation. Despite having only the Rooks as watchers, an older midwife who took pity of the Spaniard and a single doctor affiliated with the Gang, Emmett came to the world in a smooth, albeit tense manner, crying his lungs out.
Having demonstrated to be energetic and curious since his infancy, putting everything in his mouth and grasping it with his hands, Emmett was a boy with endless energy and boundless joy. As a child, he started to show many traits shared with his parents: His prone for mischief and exploration.
It wasn't uncommon to see the young boy climbing walls and trees, boucing in it's branches, running around and playing in the mud, or chasing after bugs and other small creatures. Despite his active behavior, he was a happy and sweet child, loving with his parents, sibilings and relative. He was also incredibly friendly, easily making acquaintances and friendships with boys his age, something he carried on to his adulthood, but much like his father, he was prone to fights with other boys, especially if provoked or if they picked with his sibilings. Something that Solange tried her hardest to correct, but to almost no avail.
Even with the conflicts rising between the two organizations, Solange and Jacob tried their best to be there and raise Emmett as properly as possible. However, the boy witnessed many times the effects and envolviments of the conflicts against the Neo British Rite. This made him develop a notion of the reality of his family, the gravity of that conflict and installing, deep within his brain, the role he would later assume in his life.
Like his parents before him, Emmett was raised in the Brotherhood. When the conflicts becamed too noticable to hide and when, in 1873, both Emmett and his brother were endangered, their mother took upon herself to educate her children in the Creed. Despite the British's initial resistance in teach their tenets to the children so young, Jacob later taught their children in combat, becoming their mentor alongside his wife.
Growing up, Emmett turned even more into a mirror of his father: Charismatic, charming and playful. A young boy with a free spirit and burning soul, he viewed his father as a hero and aspired to be like him one day. However, he also inhereted plenty of his mother. A quick thinker, strategist and versitale gentleman, possessing his mother's elegance and mannerisms, giving him a flair of posh behavior in constrast of his father's rough attitude.
Like his mother, Emmett was attentive, inquisitive, and faithful to a fault. His loyalty towards the Tenents of the Brotherhood were undoubtful, but much like his father, he always questioned about attitudes and ways of performing such tenents. This would often make he and his mother headbutt, in relation to Solange's traditional views on their philosophy, but the Countess deep down, appreciate her son's personal interpretation of their Creed.
Inheriting both their stubborness and temperatement, Emmett doesn't give up easily, nor does he enjoy having his opinions invalided. However, he is a good listener and may consider others input, although he will always try to stick to his own idea and opinions. As a leader, he is firm, but just. He is merciful to mistakes, however, is prone to anger explosions when important missions go wrong, like his matriarch, Emmett doesn't tolerate traitors, and after what happened in 1888, his leadership over the Rooks becamed much more severe.
Although Emmett was not as academic as some of his sibilings, he was a man of culture and knowledge, all work of his mother's constant care over his education. Despite not being interested in the quantifications or the arts, he would find interest in observing different cultures and people. Being raised among the less fortunated in his early years, and having inhereted his parents empathy and sympathy for the desifranchised, he would spend many of his time writting down observations about customs and traditions he would observe in his life and later, in his trips, his natural way with people would render him a sort of antropologist.
Besides that, one of his secrets hobbies was poetry. He found himself dwelling more and more as he read the love poems stored in the libary of his family's manor in Spain. When feeling complex emotions, he tries to write them down in a attempt to reflect about them. It was through his very poems that he courted his future wife, because despite all his charm and smooth-talk posture, being a handsome flirt was not enough to win her over, and he found himself unable to truly express how he felt to her.
Emmett had many feats across his life. At the young age of 18, after a mission in Scotland who helped weak the rise of a cult tied to the former Rite, he was named Master Assassin by the British Council, like his parents before him. He travelled through many years over the continent, aiding affiliated Brotherhoods, as well as mentoring novices in a mirror of his own late grandfather.
His similarity with his father would grant him the nickname and title of "Jackdaw", a clever dark bird consider the watcher of London, alongside the Rook. Fitting, considering he was much closer to his father than his mother, even if he adored his matriarch with all his heart and respected her deeply.
He would fall in love and marry Annabeth Headley, a British Assassin and his former training-partner in his novice years. His wife being the grandchild of Cuthbert Headley, one of the older members of the British Council during 1868.
His children are Lydia Frye (1893) and Kent Frye (1897), both important figures to UK in the WWI and WWII.

Bio: Joseph Cotoner (Stylized "Josep Augusto Cotoner") known as "El Picot Garser de Barceló" ("The Woodpecker of Barcelona") is the second child and son of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner and 14th Count of Tortosa.
Born one year after his parents' wedding, in a time of brief peace in the war against the Templars. In May 1873, he made a trip to Índia while still within his mother, following his father's goal to train a group of novices (among them, Jack the Lad), in the fear tactics by the local Brotherhood.
Three months later, Joseph came to the world in another one of the Gang's Strongholds, this time, the one located in Westminster. While his parents discussed about a trip and mission to Wales.
Without the fear of repercussion this time, Solange and Jacob were already more prepared for the arrival of their baby. With a doctor and a small group of assistants, Joseph was delivered into the world after hours of labour.
Calm and without crying, Joseph demonstrated to be quite different from his older brother since birth. As an infant, he was quiet and thoughtful. Always observant of his surroundings, but never crying or whimpering outside warns about his necessities.
He was a careful baby, always looking before touching things or exploring, but he did revealed himself to be quite affectionated. Always nuzzling against his parents in a silent request for comfort.
As a young boy, Joseph was almost the opposite of his older brother. Composed, well-behaved and polite, he would often be dragged by Emmett to play with other boys and their cousins. He carried himself with pride and grace, often imititating his mother's behavior, as well as mirroring that of her acquaintances of high-society, always asking if he was "doing it right".
He was considered a mirror of his grandfather, Carlos Cotoner, the Count of Tortosa and Master Assassin of the Spanish Brotherhood. Joseph was the joy of his grandfather's eyes, while he adored all his grandchildren, it was clear he saw himself a lot in Joseph.
He was a studious boy, more so than his brother. He enjoyed learning about geopgraphy, politics and history. His tutors took great pride on him and his mother loved her son's dedication to the studies.
Despite all of this, he did not forsaked his training. Possessing a great agility and strategic mind, Joseph developed into a fine Assassin under his parents' care. Jacob was specially proud on how skilled he was in close combat, although he was far less natural for it than his older brother. Like his mother, Joseph grew to be a gunslinger of his own, using his pistols and guns like second nature.
In spite all his qualities, Joseph is someone pragmatic to a fault. He doesn't enjoy improvisions nor he enjoys do things on spot, he tends to keep to himself his frustrations and anger, until they boil and he explodes, something he inhereted from his Matriarch. He is someone that demands respect in all situations and, much like his older brother, is unbelievably stubborn. He also tends to put high expectations on others and especially on himself, making him become melancholic and self-disappointed if those expectations are not met.
Joseph has a particular fondness for animals, much like his mother. He loves horses and to take care of them; this would allow him to become a proficiant Polo Player as he grew older, one of his favorite sports to play with acquaintances and relatives alike in the vast gardens of the Hampton Estate.
One of his favorite activities is also wood carving, something he picked up and would practice with his father, when he watched his sire idly carve in a wood piece with one of his blades when he was bored. Jacob took great delight in teaching Joseph how to carve wood, it was one of the few hobbies he and his son had in common and he treasured in sharing.
Joseph, as an adult, would move to Tarragona, his mother's birth province, and live in the residence of the family: Mansió de Sant Jordi (Saint George's Manor) in Tortosa and join the Spanish Brotherhood. This was duo to an agreement made between him, Emmett and his parents.
For Emmett, as the first-born, was meant to inheret the title of their mother as the next Count of Tortosa. However, the older Frye had no desire in join the nobility of Spain, prefering to live a life of simplicity in England. Seeing this, Joseph, who always took pride in his mother's family and name, offered to have himself be the heir to the title.
This was agreed with their mother, who named Joseph as her heir and futurely, the 14th Count of Tortosa.
Joseph would go on and marry Cornelia von Hügel, daughter of Anatole von Hügel, a Baron from an Austrian Family and curator of the Cambridge University Museum of Archeology, an old Acquaintance of his mother Solange.
Together, they would go on and have six children, and through his line, the modern day Cotoner Family would come from his eldest son.

Bio: Elizabeth Williams (Née Frye) is the third child and first daughter of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner.
The first born in the Post - Assassin-Templar War, also known as The Glory Period, she was an expected gift for the Assassin couple.
Her birth was considerably more tranquil than of her brothers, with her parents residing in the now-build Family Estate: the Hampton Manor. Without the looming threats of the Templars rising up, as well as the end of the Carlists Wars in the Spain, her deliver to this world was a calm melody to the hearts of the staff, medical and domestic, that witnessed it.
Elizabeth, or "Lizzie" as she is refered by her relatives, was as sweet as a baby could be. Ever curious, but always smiling and giggling, she was a baby of gentle temper and loving honey-brown eyes, like her mother's.
As a child, Elizabeth was a reserved but lovely young girl. Soft-spoken, polite and sweet as a peach, she was the family's treasure and greatly loved by her delicate demenour, specially by her older brother Emmett and father Jacob.
Despite her very sweet behavior, Elizabeth had plenty of sparkle of her mother in her, which would make the young girl spend hours on end playing with her dolls in the gardens of the Estate instead of the playroom. She took great pleasure in following her mother around in her strolls through the property.
She also inhereted her father's bluntness and, more surpriseling, his humor. She's witty and playful, although she rarely disclose that to those outside her trusted circle. Elizabeth is also very sensitive and, much like her sire, passionate. It is not surprising she tries to mask her feelings of wound underneath warm and gentle humor, but she is prone to agression to defend those she helds dear and raise her voice in the heat of her emotions.
Much like her Matriarch, Elizabeth was fascinated by nature, more specifically, the flora. She would spend countless hours exploring through the bushes, picking up the delicate flowers and looking at them. As she grew older, she would start to trace their shape and note about her observations over them.
Elizabeth's passion would be encouraged and intensified by her encounter and friendship with Beatrix Potter, one of her mother's many acquaintances in the natural society. She found in Ms. Potter (later Mrs. Heelis) an inspiration to follow her passion, fully supported as well by her mother Solange, Lizzie would go on to become an skilled botanist, specifically in Plant Pathology and Pharmacognosy.
Joining the Brotherhood after reaching her late teens, Elizabeth, unlike many of her sibilings and parents, did not acted within the field. Instead, she worked as an archiviest and herbal specialist, often along her own younger sister Alyssa in the labs within the British Guild. Treating her fellow Assassins with herbal remedies.
Aside that, Elizabeth published articles in regarding to her own researches in the field of botany and dedicated papers about the conservation and preservation of natural resources over the ever growing expansion of the Industry, although under the male alias of "Elias Cotton", knowing the limitation she would have as a woman. Her researches would be revalued and publicly tied to her true identity in modern times.
She would go on and marry Phillip Williams, a British businessman from York who owned a metallurgic company called "York's Steel Forges", who provided steel for constructions, as well as for utensils and also for weaponery, one of their biggest clients being the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in the USA.
With her husband's constant business trips and with her station, Elizabeth would often travel to many places to study the different biomes of the globe, something that made her even more devoted to the ambientalist cause, as well as developing the first concepts of sustentability, with the help of her partner. They would go on to have three children.

Bio: Alyssa Hamilton (Née Frye) is the fourth child and second daughter of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner.
The second one born in The Glory Period, Alyssa was another welcomed addition to the ever-growing House of Frye-Cotoner. Her birth was also tranquil, being assistanted by the family's trusted doctors, she came to the world with loud cries.
As a baby, she was introverted and quiet, rarely making sounds outside her cries of need. Cautious, but curious and very clever for her age, the girl was fawned over, specially by Joseph and her sister Elizabeth, only three years older. It wasn't uncommon to see Lizzie taking Alyssa with her, playing with her in the gardens and within her room.
As a child, Alyssa grew to be, much like her older brother, reserved and polite. Still keeping her introverted nature, she would spend her time more focused on books than on her peers, making an expection for the playtime with her older sister.
She, much like Elizabeth, was always fascinated with a more "unlady-like" topic, in this case, chemicals. Something that came from the visits of her aunt Serena and her uncle, Leopoldo. The Lord of MonteForte Irpino was a know chemist specialized in the study and fabrication of powder, and his influence would make Alyssa persue the same interest, but with a different component: Uranium.
She would persue the path of physics and chemistry, despite her tutor's resistance in teaching awoman such topics, her parents' money was enough to shut them up. Alyssa threw herself in her studies, developing studies regarding radioactivity and the nuclear energy.
One of her more famous tutors was Marie Curie, who saw in Alyssa a bright future in the area. She was responsable for the usage and creation of "Dirty Bombs" by the Assassins in the early 20th Century, as a tactic to eliminate Templar bases of operation, but it was short-lived and criticized by many Assassins from the middle of the Century.
She would also work on the production of bullets made of uranium and thorium, as well as the usage of darts containing high concentrations of arsenic, nickel and lead, used by the British Brotherhood and later American Brotherhood until post-WWII, earning her the nickname "Death Bird".
Becoming an Assassin alongside her sister, Alyssa was not cut for the field, but instead, worked from her laboratory in the British Guild. She was tutored and trained by her aunt Evie Frye, in the art of stealth, making her self-defense more calculated and silent, relying much on her darts in particular.
Despite the rather dangerous interest she persued, Alyssa devoted part of her time also to music. She was a skilled musician and felt most a peace playing the piano, something she shared with her grandmother, Aimée. As a hobby, she would compose melodies that allowed her to evoke the most intense feelings, from sadness and anguish to joy and passion.
It was because of this talent, she met her husband. John Allan Hamilton, a psychologist who worked in the Lambeth Asylum. As the son of Allan Mclane Hamilton, he was a firm defender of the reforms towards the treatment of the patients in the institutions.
As Alyssa was invited to perform to the patients there, and prove his point towards the barberic treatment the doctors were subjecting others under. After having plenty positive effects of her music in the residents there, they started to exchange letters, both defending the change on the approach of the doctors and in more humane treatments.
Not long after, they would wed. They spend a couple more years in England, fighting for the goal of better health care to those in the institutions until a few years before WWI, when they would move and settle in Boston, in the USA, John's birth-country. As the great-grandson of the Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton, John was not that unfamiliar with the Brotherhood, and although he did not joined the Assassins, he still proved himself to be a ally, even if he mostly prefer to stay out of the Assassins-Templars conflict.
The couple would go on and have four children, two of them being Jeremiah Hamilton (1900) and Margarita Hamilton (1906), known to have joined the American Brotherhood, acting in WWII.

Bio: James Frye is the fifth child and third son of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner.
The third born in the "Glory Period", James came into the world, much like his sisters' before him, in a moment of peace but bitter sadness. His birth occuring eight months after his grandfather Carlos' passing, and despite the grief his mother was dealing with, Solange managed to deliver a health and strong baby.
Because of the mourning, his birth occured not in Hastings nor in London like his older sibilings, but rather in Crawley, his father's hometown. The reason being that Jacob took his wife into the quieter areas of West Sussex would help her through the pain, as well as distant her from the social life in the English Court.
James' birth was assistant by local midwives and the family's trusted doctor. Coming into the world screaming and crying, he already showed his fighter side since he left his mother.
As a baby he was intuitive and observant, he was noisy but surpriseling less than his sibilings, specially the oldest, Emmett. He picked things fast, as well as having a great memory and perception for his age, not being easily fooled in games by his sibilings or parents.
The more he grew, the clever he got. As a young boy he would refrain from playtime to observe and study his playmates, understanding how they would act, react and think. He would demonstrate a great interest in human psychology and brain, while forsaking his other studies, which caused surprised in his parents.
With his insistant to learn, his mother hired tutors to help him further in his interest. He would start to demonstrate more and more interest in human psyche and behavior, dwelling as well into other areas such as philosophy and sociology, as well as politics. He, along with Joseph, were the most inclined and interest in their mother's position in court and the political views their family retained of the world.
As an adult, he grew to be a polite, elegant and proper gentleman. With a silver tongue and a charm inhereted from his sire, James was well-versed, well-spoken and intellectually gifted in many things. This made him popular between ladies and gentlemen alike, his natural charisma captived many, including those from the Brotherhood.
However, James was not only charm and seduction. Behind all was a brutal, ruthless and calculative man who measured no actions to reach his goal and what he deemed right. He was cunning and clever and was not afraid to get his hands dirty, he knew how to use politics against his favor and that of the Asssassins. His brutality in combat and his rentless persuit against those of the Templar Order rendering him the title of "The Hunter".
After his training under the wing of his parents, James was considered both a powerful asset and a possibly threat. His family, particularly his mother, feared her son following a path much darker, considering many of his behavior mirrored that of Templars she had fought once in the war, only a few years ago. Jacob also shared her worries, but tried to watch over their son, believing his own decisions and morals.
The English Council saw him as a powerful member, since he was responsible for many executions of Templars and spies during WWI. He was leading the British Assassins who were spread across London through the crisis, organizing missions to track down and eleminate all spies, one of those under his orders was his own niece, Lydia.
Not much of his personal life is known, however, word has that he was a queer, with some assuming homossexual, others bissexual or pansexual. What it is know is that there were letters and exchange between Jacob Frye and James indicating the latter's confusion about some aspects of himself, as well as the British Master Assassin's advices for his son as a bissexual man himself.
This led many to believe James' marriege to Molly MacClancy was a lavender marriege, with further speculation arising at the chance of Molly being queer as well.
This was further solidified when it was discovered the couple had only one son, Oscar Frye (1905). Who joined the Assassins as well but died at 32 in a mission in Ireland.
Many believe James had a lover, a barber from the City of London Borough called Oliver Barrett registered in his surving diary entries. However, if you are to believe, that is up to you.

Bio: Miranda Cotoner (Née Frye) is the sixth child, third and last daughter of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner.
The forth born into the "Glory Period", Miranda was received with great joy by her parents and sibilings alike, as the last girl to enter the family for a few years.
Unlike all her sibilings before her, Miranda was not born in England, but rather, in Tortosa, Spain. The last Frye girl having been delivered in the very same land her mother was born and hailed from.
Her birth was considered easy, and it was the first time one of the Frye-Cotoner children was born without a doctor, only tended by the midwives, the oldest being the same that aid in Solange's birth herself.
As a baby, Miranda was much more spirited compared to her older sisters. Loud, clingy and vocal, the little girl couldn't keep quiet, being also the most expressive of all children. Like all little ones, she was inquisitive and adventurous, but showed a strong personality everytime she was denied of going to where she wanted.
As a child, she didn't changed much. Ever stubborn and strong-willed, she couldn't be bound by rules. It wasn't uncommon to watch her sneak outside the Hampton Manor to go to the gardens, hunt down bugs or simply chase after the frogs that lived in the Estate's pond.
Miranda had the habit to tend to those creatures and raise them in secrecy, at least after she showed Alyssa a beetle and a big frog, and her sister had a fit of disgust at the sight. She would keep her insects in small boxes under her bed, watching them grow and sometimes observe them fight, fascinated by the tiny lives and bodies such creatures had.
Many times Joseph would remark about how 'unlady-like' it was of her to collect such creatures, which would cause small arguments between the sibilings. Emmett, while teasing his younger sister about it, would be the only one to sit with her and watch the insects with her, reminising his own younger days. Her sisters would encourage her persue for her hobbies, although both were clearly reserved in regards to the subjects of their sister's interest.
Although as the years progressed, many bugs fled from their containments, causing a small panic among the Manor's staff, leading to Solange and Jacob creating a terrarium within the Greenhouse on their property to accomodate Miranda's bugs. Solange never discouraged her daughter's passion, seeing Miranda's hunt for bugs a reminising of her own childhood hunting down fossils... And Jacob took great amusement in his daughter's little chase for frogs and bugs, it reminded him of his youth, where he would fetch such creatures to tease his sister with.
As an adult, Miranda kept many of her traits from her infancy. Strong-willed, temperamental and stubborn, she was a woman of heated personality and strong as steel. Like her sire, Miranda was courageous, wild and sarcastic, taking offense from none, and a woman not afraid to speak her mind in a society rulled by men.
She had a tongue as quick and powerful as whip, and was easy to argue if questioned or taken for granted, despite that, she knew how to behave like a lady in the eyes of society, if needed be. Within her circle, she was warm, concerned, protective and playful, revealing a side more gentle and almost maternal side, specially with James and Leonardo, the two closest to her in age.
Her personality would be frequently compared to Cecily Frye's, her late grandmother, by her family. Specially Jacob's older cousins who met Cecily while she still beared her maiden name Hopkins.
Despite their different personalities, Miranda and her Mother had a good relationship filled with warmth and trust, what made her future choices all the more tense. After joining the Brotherhood in her early teen years, the youngest Frye woman worked herself to achieve the status of Master Assassin, developing a proficiancy for guns and air assassinations.
During this time, she would frequently make visits to the Spanish Brotherhood in missions, under the wing of her older brother Joseph. It was in one of those missions she met (and fought) Luís Augustín Cotoner, grandson of the former Marquis Esteban Cotoner, Master Templar of the Spanish Order.
Despite being a Templar, Luís was not of high rank, and his questioning of the Templar methods and his less than enthusiastic behavior in regards to Templar business and goals rendered him an outcast, many of his family not seeing him as a worthy heir... From this unexpected encouter (and many others) love bloomed, much to the horror and devastation of the Countess of Tortosa in discovering her youngest daughter fell for the enemy from the very family branch she so passionately despises.
They would continued to be met with rocky reactions until the middle of their courtship, when Luís rebelled against his family, forsaking his previous order and joining the Assassins of the Spanish Guild. And while all had suspicions of his true intentions, their matrimony withstand the odds until his acceptence among the Creed.
After wedding Luís, she moved to Aragon, estabilishing herself within the ranks of the local guild and improving it's structure. Now consolidaded as "The Eagle of Aragon", Miranda had made herself a name as one of the deadliest Assassins of the Kingdom. Silent, strategic and observant, she ambushed and attacked enemies like the majestic eagles of Spain catching their preys.
From her union with Luís, she would birth four children, the most well-known were Miguel Cotoner (1904), who took part in the Spanish Civil War and in the World War II. And Cecília Cotoner (1908), who would take a vital role in the Philippinean Creed.

Bio: Leonardo Frye is the seventh child and forth son of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner.
The fifth and last born in the "Glory Period", four years before Jack's rampage, Leonardo was considered "the last drop of joy in the Frye Household". His birth was not so different from those of his sibilings, have been brought into this world in the family's home, Hampton Estate, as well as being immediatly cared for by the midwives and doctor.
He was a quiet baby, his cries barely audible if not as mere whimpers. He was a healthy baby, albeit fragile, but that didn't stopped from being showered with love by both his parents and sibilings alike.
A well-behaved, polite boy since infancy, he was smiley and lively. He took joy in the tiniest things, particularly the opening of a pocket watch (much to his aunt's enjoyment in watching him trying to steal her watch from her robes) and the work of a cuckoo clock they had in the Drawing Room of the Manor.
As a child, he becamed much more curious. Although he was less brave than some of his sibilings, he would often follow them around their property like a duckling, the same pattern repeating with his parents, specifically when visiting his father and aunt's ol train hideout. Jacob found great amusement in his son's timid behavior, specially with strangers and acquaintances of high-society. Leo, as his family called him, was a quiet boy who would rather spend time watching the gears turning in machinery than being around with other noisy children his age.
As he grew older, he turned into a fine young man of sweet and gentle personality, politeness and desposition. While he still retained his more introvert personality, he had overcomed his shyness as he followed his career. In many ways, he resembled his uncle Jayadeep Mir, who he was very close to and deeply admired.
Despite these qualities, he could also be aloof, cold and harsh, specially when displeased or annoyed (which was considerably rare), he was also very pragmatic and took offenses very seriously. In many ways, his father would joke that Leo resembled his own father, Ethan Frye, when angry at something... The boy never knew if this was true, but he was aware how similar he was physically to his grandsire.
Leonardo would receive the same education of his brothers, while being supported by his parents to follow his passion: Engeneering. He would choose to persue a career as a creator, making mechanical creatures that could move by themselves, the famous "automats". He was specially inspired by the works of Leopold Lambert whom, after a few years, would become his very tutor all possible with his mother's french family influences.
Being educated in a bording school in France, he would make his home and success in the country, like many engeers of the time. Settling in the East of Île-de-France, he worked as a renowed creator of automats for many rich people from Paris and other Noble Houses from Europe, being highly praised among the Parisian Society.
His most famous automat, ironically, was not made for an exposition, but as a gift. An impressive structure portraying a Rook and a Hoopoe "flying" among branches, performing a mating dance "mid-air" while suspended by a wire system. This work was called "The Lovebirds' Waltz" and was made in honor of his parents as a wedding-anniversary gift. Unfortunetly, the work was taken from the family's property in Crawley in the aminds of the Second World War and has been exposed in the Abstergo's Division in England since.
Aside the automats, Leonardo joined the Assassins Brotherhood like all his sibilings before him, and operated in France during most of his life. While working for the Parisian Guild, his role was that of a support. He would be responsable for the maintance of equipment, weaponery and creation of mechanical devices, such improvision on Hidden Blades and more complex tools, like grapping hooks.
It was in this time he met his wife, Jeanne Marie Cadieux, an Assassin from Auvergne. Jeanne travelled and spend a few months working under the Parisian Guild in assistance with the Templars rulling the city, and while there, both started a small friendship that soon bloomed into love.
They married two years later, and both settled in Rhône-Alpes, more specifically in Lyon. There, they had 2 children who would continue the family tradition in the Brotherhood: Zacharie Frye (1908) and Ézéchias Frye (1911).

Bio: Abigail Frye was the last daughter and eighth child of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner.
Born two years after the Autumn of Terror and Jack's Reign of Horror over London, her expectation was a complete surprise to her parents who were still recovering from the emotional turmoil of the attacks and the shook their family had.
Her birth was meant to be seen as a celebration, a moment of joy and blessing God granted them, giving the couple another child after Jack's betrayal... But this happiness would soon turn into more misery.
While the pregnancy seemed to occur normally, Solange would be suffering what we know as Occult Umbelical Cord Prolapse, duo to carrying twins. Abigail would be an unfortune victim of this, resulting in a stressing and difficult labour and the young girl being a still-born.
Delivered in fresh spring morning, it was the first time the couple have ever dealt with such complicated labour, with Solange loose a great amount of blood, being physically and mentally drained... And utterly destroyed at the news. The Countess wept when the Doctor and the Midwives told her the truth.
Jacob Frye stood by his wife's side, but he too grieved for the lost of his child, cradling her stiff body in his arms as he tried to comfort his beloved. They were no strangers to death, but after so much pain... Jacob had already lost the one he had considered his son, and now, he had lost another child.
The days that followed were grim and heavy. Jacob took care of all the preparations for the funeral, with Solange slowly recovering from the delivery, it was as if a shadow was cast in the Hampton Estate, staff and the children mourned the loss of the young girl.
And things would take a turn for the worst when Arthur, Abigail's surviving younger brother, would perish a week after birth... A neonatal death. Bringing the already desolated couple into a state of profund agony.
While in bed, Solange pleaded Jacob to comission the best jewelers and doll-makers to create mourning objects for them... And her. Necklaces, chokers, brooches and rings were made with the hair of her deceased daughter, as well as a real-size, detailed doll, which was placed in the Twins nursery in the Manor.
The Funeral was held in a few weeks after their deaths, following the period's funerary practices. It was composed by many family friends and Assassins of the Spanish and English Guilds. It was in this instance that it was reported how the Countess of Tortosa, rushed towards the carriege carrying the coffins and threw herself over them, wailing so loudly the Procession was briefly stopped as her husband and her in-laws tried to let her go of the carriege. They were the first burried in the Frye-Cotoner Family Crypt build under Solange's own request.
It was mentioned by many of those present, such as Serena Cotoner and Caroline Mason how "They have never seen her show so much pain and sorrow, how she didn't stood there like a mourning noble, but as a broken mother unable to let her children go".
Even after the mourning period was over, Solange never recovered from her loss. She always worn black laces in her dresses, in memory of her eternal mourn for her lost children. She would spend many of the next years tending the dolls comissioned by them, changing their clothes, bathing them, braiding the doll''s hair and lullaying them to sleep. In her very death, she explained to her children the nursery was not to be touched or changed.... And like that it had remainded, until today.
Many of the Frye Family's Descendents say that the nursery is haunted, that they hear the wails or babbles of babies that never lived there, others say this is just a family legend, but the Cornell Family members, who still own the Hampton Estate to this very day, swear by their lives that they hear the ghostly sounds.
A few years before her death, in 1906, Solange travelled to Glastonbury, where underneath, stood the Temple once was home of the Isu Dian Checht and his daughter Airmid and where was the climax of the last battle of the second Templar-Assassin War, 36 years ago. There, was the Holy Grail, the artifact so desired by the Templars for it's healing and immortal effects. When she touched it, she had a vision, like she had decades ago, only this time... It was different.
In this vision, she saw her family. Alive and well, including her lost babies, Abigail and Arthur, who in this reality was a lively young maiden who dreamed to become a dance instructor and ballroom etiquette's teacher. While most of her descriptions of the visions are hidden, presumebly in the Family's Crypt, Solange was very vocal about how she felt in seeing those images. The terrifying mental power of the Pieces of Eden, which made her even more determinated to keep it away from wrong hands.
But those visions made her always lament about "the life they could have had, but was lost".
Name: Arthur Joachim Frye.
Date and Place of Birth: March 22nd, 1890 - Hastings, England.
Date and Place of Death: March 29th, 1890 - Hastings, England.

Bio: Arthur Frye was the fifth son and nineth and last child of Sir Jacob Frye and Lady Solange Cotoner.
Born two years after "The Autumn of Terror" and Jack's Reign of Horror, much like his older sister, he was a complete surprise baby to his parents who, in many ways, were "mourning" the loss of Jack, who was treated as part of their family, and whose betray shook them immensily.
And while his expectation was held with joy in hopes for a present from God to fill the ache in their hearts, the Frye couple would soon see that this was the start of another unfortune tragedy.
Being birthed 8 minutes after his sister, Arthur was, at first, the relief sigh to the doctor and midwives after seeing that they had saved one of the babies. His mother was too weak to tend him, physically and mentally, leaving him at the care of their servants and feeding bottles.
Arthur was placed under vigilant care of the servants while his mother rested, even if she tried her whole self to hold him and breastfeed him as she did to all her other children.
Something that was quickly noticed is the baby's constant coughs and stress cries, to which the doctors assumed was duo to Scarlet Fever, not uncommon in newborns. However, Arthur was actually suffering from what we know as Meconium Aspiration Syndrom, because of the difficult labour his mother underwent to deliver his still-born sister.
Despite all the doctor's best efforts and medicine, Arthur would pass away in the early morning of March 29th, succumbing to it's respiratory problems, to the complete devastation of his already heartbroken family, who had lost his sister only a few days prior.
As known, the Countess comissioned jewels and a life-sized mourning doll of her son, as well as paying for many memento mori pictures of her babies. It was a dark moment for the Frye family, as Jacob himself wrote in his surviving notes, saying "how he now understood a part of what his father went through." The passing of the children was engraved deeply into the late years of the Frye Family's History, from the creation of the Family Crypt, to the shift in personality in the Heads of the House reported by Family members and allies alike.
In the visions Solange had in 1906, upon touching the Holy Grail artifact, she saw her youngest son alive and well, thriving as part of the Assassins and wishing to join the military, like his grandfather before him. More details of this vision are hidden within the other entries in the Family's Crypt but through her found diaries, she always refered to him as "her brave little soldier", many assumed this is tied to the vision of the alternative reality she had.
Like with Abigail, she always lamented and mourned for "the life they couldn't live".

And with that, I end all the information (so far) about Solob's kiddos! 🥳🥳✨✨
It took a long while to gather all the info, think about their careers, their associates, their romances , their lives and how they would work as people, but I think I did a good job to make them all unique! 🥹
I teared up writting about the twins ngl, since their ends in the story is based on instances that happened in my family IRL that I want to represent, as well as make a sort of "twisted mirror" with what happened to Cecily and the Frye Twins in Canon. (One mother dies but her children survive; the other mother lives, but her children die).
I hope all my fellow Jacob Frye fangirls forgive-me for killing his kids but I needed for the sake of projection and realism bc, Victorian Era 😭.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this read! Thank you all so much for those who support me and my "Sanctity" Project, it means so much to me! 🥹🥹🩵🩵🩵
See you all soon! 🩵✨
All Credits to @nemo-of-house-morning-star for lending me the Character Sheet Model for this list! And to inspire me to create mastelists myself bc I strive to be this organized with my OCs public infos. 😭
