Good to know

- Spent her youth reading her father's chronicles of earlier Assassins, which left her keen to find Pieces of Eden.
- Her first Syndicate target is the scientist David Brewster, in the memory A Simple Plan.
- Works mostly with Henry Green on the Shroud trail, from Edward Kenway's journal to the old Kenway Mansion and St Paul's Cathedral.
- Helps Alexander Graham Bell, Florence Nightingale and Duleep Singh during the main story.
- Lydia Frye, Jacob's granddaughter, was partly trained by her.
Role in the 1868 story
Evie argues from the start that finding the Piece of Eden Brewster warned about matters more than Jacob's gang war. She recovers an Assassin journal from Lucy Thorne's shipment, solves the piano puzzle in the Kenway Mansion, follows a disc to the Monument and takes an Isu necklace from a hidden room in St Paul's dome. Much of her later work is cleaning up after her brother: recovering stolen printing plates from the Bank of England and helping London's omnibus builders after Attaway Transport collapses.
Stealth first
The Brotherhood valued Evie for careful planning and problem solving rather than brute force. She gets into the Tower of London by letting a real guard pretend to capture her, kidnaps a Royal Guard at the palace ball because her gown hides no weapons, and in 1888 has to beat Jack through ambush and cunning because she cannot match him head-on.
Henry Green
Evie and Henry grow close during the search, which clashes with her father's rule never to let feelings compromise a mission. A conversation with Duleep Singh about why Ethan raised his children so coldly changes her mind.
Lucy Thorne and the ShroudSpoilerShow
Lucy fights Evie in St Paul's, falls through a window and gets away with the necklace. Evie later kills her in St John's Chapel in the Tower and takes the necklace back. At the palace ball Starrick dances with Evie, steals the key and dons the Shroud; the twins kill him together in the vault, and Evie finally kisses Henry. She later marries him and moves to India.
Jack the Ripper, 1888SpoilerShow
Jacob summons Evie back from India during the Whitechapel murders. With Inspector Abberline she finds Assassin rings at the murder scenes, proof that the victims were Jacob's undercover initiates. She tracks Jack through Lady Owers, the Deptford prison hulks and his letters, then frees Jacob from Lambeth Asylum and kills Jack in its basement. She asks Abberline to keep the Ripper's identity and Assassin past secret.
A Spanner in the WorksA Spanner in the Works is the first main memory of Assassin's Creed Syndicate.

You ride a supply train into a Templar compound near Croydon, find the hidden laboratory of Sir David Brewster, and kill him to get at the Piece of Eden he is studying.

- Somewhere That's GreenSomewhere That's Green is the first London memory: as Jacob you step off the train in Whitechapel, chase a pickpocket, race Evie up a factory roof and meet Henry Green, the Assassin who has been watching over the city. It ends with a carriage chase to shake off Blighters.
- Freedom of the PressFreedom of the Press introduces Alexander Graham Bell, who turns Kaylock's broken launcher into the rope launcher on your gauntlet. As Evie you then test it on Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, fitting fuses for Bell's independent telegraph line.
- Loose EndsLoose Ends is the seventh Jack the Ripper memory: you play as Jack, returning to the Deptford garrison after Evie's raid to kill the witnesses and burn the evidence before the police can connect him to the Assassins.
- Live by the Creed, Die by the CreedLive by the Creed, Die by the Creed is the final memory of the Jack the Ripper DLC: Evie sneaks into Lambeth Asylum, follows Jack's messages down to the basement and faces him in a boss fight that rewards stealth over brawling.
- Cable NewsCable News is a short side trip for Alexander Graham Bell: his telegraph cables never arrived, and an intercepted wire says the cargo is held at College Wharf. Bell also fits your gauntlet with a dart launcher for a hallucinogenic serum before you go.
- Playing It by EarPlaying It by Ear sends Evie and Henry into the Kenway Mansion, now a Templar house, following Eagle Vision clues in Thorne's notebook. You hunt for Edward Kenway's keepsakes and solve a piano puzzle that opens a secret room.
- A Room with a ViewA Room with a View follows the Kenway clues to the Monument to the Great Fire and then the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, where Evie solves a disc mechanism to find the key to the Shroud's vault. Lucy Thorne is waiting, and the memory ends in a fight with her.
- A Case of IdentityA Case of Identity opens Sequence 6 with Jacob chasing a name in a letter: Plutus, Starrick's banker, and a meddler called Mr Dredge. You infiltrate the Royal Exchange to kidnap Dredge and find out what he knows.

- Change of PlansChange of Plans sends Evie and Henry after the architectural plans that may show a vault Prince Albert added to Buckingham Palace. Maharajah Duleep Singh tells them Starrick's people got there first, and the job goes wrong when Henry is taken.
- Double TroubleDouble Trouble begins the finale: after a bitter argument, the twins agree to one last job together, and Jacob has to steal William and Catherine Gladstone's invitations to the Queen's ball. The two split up, so you pickpocket each one in turn.
- Dress to ImpressDress to Impress solves the weapons problem for the ball: only Royal Guards carry arms inside, so Jacob takes a guard's uniform for Abberline, who will smuggle the twins' gear into Buckingham Palace.
- A Night to RememberA Night to Remember is the final main memory: the twins enter the Queen's ball at Buckingham Palace, Evie retrieves the vault plans from the White Drawing Room while Jacob rescues captive Royal Guards on the roofs, and both face Crawford Starrick in the vault below.
