Appears in
- 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.
- Gang War: WhitechapelGang War: Whitechapel is the showdown for the borough: with Henry's new kukris, you lead the Rooks against Rexford Kaylock's Blighters at the Whitechapel train station, then chase Kaylock along the roof of his moving train. Winning gives the twins their Train Hideout.
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.
Good to know
- One of seven Blighter leaders hand-picked by Starrick and trained by Maxwell Roth.
- Born in Whitechapel and knows its back streets better than anyone.
- Known for charm, cunning and toying with enemies before finishing them.
- Uses Agnes MacBean's impounded train as his mobile headquarters, with Agnes kept aboard.
- Henry Green warns the twins that Kaylock is after Henry's research on the Isu.
- Whitechapel's pre-war jobs are few: one Templar (Harold Drake), one stronghold (Spitalfields), one bounty (Homer Dalton) and the Radclyffe Mill factory.
- The only one of the seven gang leaders with his own outfit instead of the standard Templar uniform.
The gang war
Henry gives the twins their kukris before the fight. Kaylock puts his train on the line during the gang war, and once his men are down the twins fight him on the roof of the moving train.
What you winSpoilerShow
The twins kick Kaylock off the train roof to his death. They keep the train as their base and take his broken grappling pistol, which Alexander Graham Bell rebuilds into the rope launcher on their gauntlets.
Before the fight
You first hear of him in Somewhere That's Green, where Henry Green hides from Kaylock's men, refuses to let them follow him to his shop and describes Kaylock as someone who seems to vanish in front of you. The gang war comes after To Catch an Urchin. A messenger says Kaylock is waiting at the Whitechapel train station and has staked his train on the outcome.
An easier way to winSpoilerShow
You do not have to duel him on the train roof. Staying out of the Blighters' sight at the back of the train also works, because Kaylock is killed when he hits a bridge over the track.
