For his entire life, Jack has lived to the order of others. Born to a modest daily who were fortunate enough to leave their son in the company of an actual house estate, Jack has only really ever known Somerset House and its surrounding boundaries. Having begun as a footman, like the House Steward himself, Jack has glittering ambition to inherit the position by the time Mr Brown retires, though it is to be said that he lacks the certain dedication to the daily itself, despite the fact that they have housed and cared for Jack more than his own parents had been. Recently, he has been eager to put himself first where he can, which led him into a precarious situation with a member of the Cleveland St Brothel place by the Thames — a miscalculation that led him to use what leverage he had to bargain a place for the new housekeeper, Ms Hill. Still, this won’t be the end of him, will it?

A man who has long since taken pride in his work, George Brown, is known for the careful hand deployed among his staff and the continued loyalty to the Seymour family. Having started his life as a footman, Mr Brown has worked himself up to the very top of the hierarchy, leaving each and every member of the household to resort to him for advice, wisdom and orders. Long has he had very few to answer to, or so, that was till the appearance and employment of the new housekeeper — cast to sudden competition and rivalry, Mr Brown must remain resilient and dedicated to his work, or else will fail.
