[[WMG: Jacob is bisexual.]]
Or whatever the term would be in the 19th century. But while he does seem to be mostly a ladies’ man, there is quite a bit too much flirting going on with Sgt. Abbeline and to a lesser extent Henry for him to be completely straight.

Any information in Tomb Raider games contradicting this (i.e. the Croft family being around before WW1) can be explained away as fabrications, especially because [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreed2 Domenico Auditore]] once pulled off the exact same trick.

** Continuing the Sherlock Holmes references, the younger of the two "quest givers" for the ''Dreadful Crimes'' is a young (seemingly pubescent age) Arthur Conan-Doyle. So another case of BeenThereShapedHistory in that "Artie's" presence at the crime scenes and the Fryes essentially pulling the deductions out of thin air (as non-Assassins/Templars have no comprehension of Eagle Vision) give him all the inspiration he needs for his later literary career.

** Or D: they both survive and stay together as a team. Also, promotional material has already shown that there will be RPG-style character improvements, so they will not neccesarily have similar abilities. Besides, just because they are similar does not automatically mean they MUST become enemies.

[[WMG: George Westhouse is a reference to George Westinghouse]]
The only real similarity they have is the name and that they live in the same time era, but maybe this is their way of a ShoutOut to a historical figure they had no real way to put in the game.

What better way to get people invested in the modern story for the next game than finding out if she lives or dies.

[[WMG: The Precursor in the Shroud that the Templars got...]]
The logs you get show Alvaro Gramatica and Violet communicating with Consus through the Shroud until it's destroyed during the Assassin's raid on Project Phoenix.

[[spoiler:The Lydia Frye/World War I section confirms that she was born in 1893, five years after the Ripper murders, and that Jacob and Evie were still alive then and had a role in raising her. So Jacob is not Jack the Ripper. If he was, it would be unlikely he's still alive but even less likely that Evie or Jacob's son would allow him near Lydia or anyone else]].
