Site Canon Character
Star Soprano
24 · Female
FC: Kate Winslet
, , , , ,

The famed “Swedish nightingale” Lisette Berwald is a star soprano opera singer. She resides in London, and will do so for at least the next two seasons. Her performances at the Royal Italian Opera have been met with rave reviews and much acclaim by critics and laypeople alike. Born in Sweden, she was discovered for her extraordinary voice and has been a court singer in Sweden and Norway, followed by engagements in Berlin and Vienna, where she was mobbed by admirers and received by royals. Now in London, she has secured the most lucrative deal of her career – but fate is capricious and past struggles with vocal damage may (or may not) come back to haunt her.

Madeline Wheeler

Site Canon Character
Thief
20 – 25 · Female
FC: Tanya Roberts
, , , , ,

One of the newest Lambs, Madeline is the daughter of Irish immigrants who came to London seeking a better life. Instead, they found rampant discrimination, crime, and disappointment. Madeline had little intention of following her mother into the career of a washerwoman, and so turned to petty theft. One of the people she tried to steal from ended up being Lila Scriven, who took a liking to the firebrand of a young woman. Under Lila’s tutelage, Madeline has begun to blossom into a very promising thief indeed. She is wholly devoted to the gang and its leaders. Recently her parents have begun to question the source of her suddenly much greater income, and she can only lie for so long. Right now she claims to have a wealthy beau who grants her all sorts of gifts and allowance, but how long that particular lie will last is anyone’s guess.

Lila Scriven

Site Canon Character
Co-Leader of the 40 Lambs
30 – 35 · Female
FC: Sujaya Dasgupta
, , , , ,

One of the “Twins” that lead the 40 Lambs, Lila is the mastermind behind the entire enterprise. Though many consider her the ‘softer’ of the Twins, Lila is as ruthless as Beatrix, her ‘wife’. The daughter of an English soldier and his Indian wife, Lila has seen how society rejects those deemed lesser or different, and has resorted to carving out a place for herself and her family. Now that the gang has met with such wild success, her ambitions have grown accordingly. She will allow nothing to threaten the success and peace that she has worked so hard to create. All that matters is herself, her wife, and the family they have found.

“Mama” Beatrix Scriven

Site Canon Character
Co-Leader of the 40 Lambs
30 – 40 · Female
FC: Charlize Theron
, , , , ,

One of the “Twins” that lead the 40 Lambs, Beatrix is often known as “Mama” or “Mama Bea” by her “lambs,” the women that make up her gang. Beatrix is the leader who wields the iron fist. When the Twins get their hands dirty, it’s Beatrix’s hands that end up bloodiest. Though the concept of the gang and its success is largely due to the strategic mind of her other half, it’s Beatrix’s force of will and willingness to be brutal that has allowed the gang to flourish. She is not a woman of halves. She is devoted entirely to her ‘wife’ Lila, to the gang, and to seeing their power continue to grow.

Meredith Trevor

Site Canon Character
Prostitute
25 – 30 · Male
FC: Aneurin Barnard
, , , , ,

The son of a successful Welsh banker, Meredith’s poor behavior during the last decade has seen him cut off from his father’s financial support. In spite of his good education and gentry breeding, Meredith has little love for the world of business and money – save for the methods of spending it. It was spending it, and spending too much time in gambling parlors, that saw him indebted to Lord FitzMaurice and thus whored out at Maggie’s Place. While FitzMaurice keeps him on a short leash, Meredith’s affection for the man has long since waned. Instead, he finds his eye drawn more and more often to the enforcer, and now manager, of the brothel: Martin Love. Meredith is well aware of the dangerous game he plays, but he has never been one for caution… Or denying himself his worst desires.

Martin Love

Site Canon Character
Manager of Maggie’s Place
35 – 40+ · Male
FC: Andreas Pietschmann
, , , , ,

One doesn’t dream of one day running a brothel full of homosexuals, and indeed this is not the life that Martin ever imagined for himself. After a career as a constable with the London Metropolitan Police was cut short by running afoul of a gang, he was introduced by a mutual associate to Lord Oscar FitzMaurice. With his knowledge of London policing and his connections at Scotland Yard, Martin seemed ideal to help protect the secrecy of Maggie’s Place. Over time, his role has expanded; after the Madame of the brothel abruptly quit some months ago, Martin was unceremoniously promoted. He’s done well enough in the role, but the stress of dealing with a large number of young, often catty, men and the nature of the clients the brothel attracts, on top of his normal duties of seeing to protecting the brothel from the attentions of the police force and gangs who think they’re owed protection money, has pushed Martin right to the edge.

Enzo Esposito

Site Canon Character
Telegram Messenger, Prostitute
20 – 25 · Male
FC: Tyrone Smithers
, , , , , ,

Enzo has always felt torn between two versions of himself. French and Italian; serious, dutiful son, and fun-loving artistic soul; normal, and deviant. Brought by his mother to London a few years ago, he does his best to portray himself in the way she expects and is proud of. To that end, he got a job as a telegram messenger, biking around the city to deliver telegrams to a wide variety of individuals. It was through that job that he was introduced to Martin Love, the proprietor of Maggie’s Place, who was quick to offer the handsome young man a place at the brothel. Though it is not the kind of work that Enzo ever imagined himself doing, there is a certain freedom to it that keeps him working there in spite of the danger and the distasteful aspects of it. (The money doesn’t hurt, either.)

Cillian Conroy

Site Canon Character
Accountant
50+ · Male
FC: Ciarán Hinds
, , , , ,

A Dublin native with a fondness for drinking and betting on losing dogs, Cillian Conroy ended up deeply in debt to the Greenstreet Gang. To help pay off that debt, he has come along to aid Sean’s takeover of Whitechapel (and perhaps beyond). When drunk, he will also claim that he is present as a friend to Sean’s father, to keep an eye on the often-impulsive lad, but who can say if that’s the truth, or just the ramblings of a man in his cups? Either way, he has Sean’s trust, and under his watchful eyes the coffers of the Greenstreet Gang have grown deep.

Agnes Moody

Site Canon Character
Accountant, thief
25 – 35 · Female
FC: Angel Coulby
, , , , ,

College-educated, Agnes “Nanny” Moody is only held back from a successful (lawful) career by her sex. Exceptionally intelligent, particularly with numbers, she’s the head bookkeeper and accountant for the 40 Lambs. Not a single penny is spent or earned by the gang without her being fully aware of it. Only two other people in the gang have more power than her, and even then they would be hard-pressed to continue with such success if something were to happen to Nanny.

Blair McGee

Site Canon Character
Right-Hand Man
25 – 30 · Male
FC: Will Poulter
, , , , ,

Known to be the calm eye of Sean Donoghue’s storm, Blair is an unassuming young man. If little is known about the head of the gang, less is known about Sean’s right-hand man. Seemingly bookish and reticent, Blair came along with Sean from Ireland, and immediately made a name for himself. He does not take prisoners, he does not grant mercy, and he will let absolutely nothing come between Sean and his ambitions. It is rumored that Blair is the Greenstreet member that killed the Black Powder that kicked off the rising tensions between the two gangs.
