Who she really wasSpoilerShow
She was another of Jacob Frye's initiates, recruited young and taken to India with Jack and the others. Jacob sent the real Eddowes away from Whitechapel and had the initiate assume her name. Evie finds her Assassin ring at the scene. She was buried as Catherine Eddowes on 8 October 1888.
Her escape route
Eddowes' trail at Mitre Square is the longest. She vaulted crates and then a wall with Jack behind her, crawled up a short flight of steps and died on the landing before being thrown to the ground below. A woman at the vigilance meeting Evie breaks up complains that the committee's president was mailed half of Eddowes' kidney.
Named by Nellie
In the Prologue, Nellie hears about the double killing and refers to her by the pet name Katey.
Where the trail leadsSpoilerShow
Jack's message here says the Creed failed his victims as it failed his own mother, which sends Evie to the place where his mother died.
