Who is Jack the Ripper in Assassin's Creed: The Hero? Many players are not aware of this cruel murderer in history. Today I will tell you the story of "Jack the Ripper".

Jack the Ripper is the murderer who used cruel methods to kill at least five prostitutes in the Whitechapel area of London's East End between August 7 and November 8, 1888. During the crime, the murderer wrote letters to relevant units to provoke many times, but never fell into the legal open. His bold crime methods were repeatedly exaggerated by the media, which caused panic in British society at that time. To this day, he is still one of the most notorious killers in European and American culture.

On August 7, 1888, a female corpse was found in the White Church in the East District. The deceased was a middle-aged prostitute, Martha Tabulian, who was stabbed thirty-nine, nine of which were cut through the throat. At 3:45 a.m. on August 31 of the same year, another prostitute, Mary Ann Nicholas, was found dead in the Tengfu District near White Church, at the age of 43. Not only did she get beaten to bruises on her face, some of her incisors fell off, but her neck was cut twice. But the most cruel thing is that the abdomen is cut open, the intestines are dragged out, and the baby girl in the abdomen is also severely stabbed by a sharp blade.

Eight days later, an old coachman living at 29 Hanbning Street found a female body in the fence behind his cheap rental apartment, the deceased of 47-year-old prostitute Anne Chapman. She was also cut open her throat and was tragically cut off her stomach, her intestines were thrown on her right shoulder, and part of the flesh in her uterus and abdomen was cut off by the murderer.

Dear boss

On September 25, 1888, the Central News Agency received a letter written in red ink and covered with fingerprints, signed by "Jack the Ripper". The letter stated with a joke that he was the murderer who killed the prostitute, and claimed that he would continue to kill more prostitutes before being arrested. Since the letter started with "Dear Boss", it later called the first letter sent by the murderer.

At 1:00 a.m. on September 30, 1888, a coachman found the body of Elizabeth Stede near his home.

At around 1:45 a.m. on September 30, 1888, 46-year-old prostitute Kathleen Aidos was found dead in Bishop Square. In addition to being cut off her throat and cumella, and her intestines were thrown to her right chest, she was also taking away part of her uterus and kidneys.

A landlord on Dorsay Street asked his assistant to go to Mary Jane Kelly's room to collect rent that had not been paid for six weeks, but found from the window the young 25-year-old prostitute tragically dead in the bed: she was naked, had strangled neck, her chest and abdomen were cut open, and her ears, nose and breasts on her face were cut off.

Assassin's Creed

While Jack the Ripper has attracted the attention of the world, until now, there is no clear evidence that the murderer is a few specific characters. On the contrary, as time goes by, researchers are increasing, and the number of suspects identified by everyone increases.More and more, and their identities were spread across all classes in London at that time.

The most considered murderer is Aaron Kosmiski. Through a bloody shawl that is said to be found at the scene of the victim Katherine Edos, comparing various small evidences found on it, it was determined using modern DNA technology, and finally it was determined that the murderer was Aaron who was locked in a mental hospital.

Kosmiski was sent to a mental sanatorium in February 1891. His symptoms include auditory hallucinations, fear of being eaten and refusing to cleanse. He lived a very hard life and passed away on September 9, 1919.

It seems that such a verification is very scientific and reasonable, but soon there were other opposition voices. It is one aspect that claims that this method has its irrationality and intricacy. So many years have passed, and the criminal investigation methods a hundred years ago were not necessarily so developed, and the authenticity and integrity of the shawl are also questionable.

In short, so many years have passed, even if the murderer is not caught, he may no longer be in the world, and it will eventually become an unsolved mystery. However, "Jack the Ripper" is a character in many games and is deeply loved by players.
