1. 01Against the Council

   Crawley buries their father; the Council counsels patience. The twins board a freight train to London with two blades and no permission.

2. 02The city as a company

   Starrick's London: gangs, banks, asylums, transit — one portfolio. The game's villain is less a man than a org chart with a teacup.

3. 03The Rooks

   Jacob founds a gang the way Ezio founded a Brotherhood — recruitment, turf wars, rooftop pubs — and London's boroughs start changing color.

4. 04Two Creeds, one train

   From their moving hideout, Evie chases the Shroud through Lucy Thorne's occult research while Jacob dismantles monopolists — and each cleans up the other's mess.

5. 05Collateral London

   Elliotson's asylum, Twopenny's bank, Attaway's rails: every decapitation destabilizes something the poor depended on. Liberation, it turns out, needs an operations plan.

6. 06Roth's invitation

   Maxwell Roth offers Jacob crime as pure theater — no creed, no ledger, just the fire. Jacob's refusal, one burning music hall later, is his growing up.

7. 07The vault at the palace

   Starrick wears the Shroud to the Queen's ball with a massacre scheduled. In the garden vault it heals him mid-duel — until the twins stop taking turns.

8. 08Dame and Sir Frye

   Victoria knights the orphans the Council wouldn't back. In 2015, Abstergo lifts the Shroud from the same vault — the past closes, the war doesn't.
