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.)

Sir Angus Cruickshanks

Site Canon Character
Detective Chief Inspector, Special Irish Branch
40 – 50 · Male
FC: David Tennant
, , , , , ,

Sir Angus has been the chief of the Special Irish Branch since its inauguration almost five years ago. Hand-picked for his unique skill set and dedication to the Metropolitan Police, he has faced an uphill battle to ensure his men have the resources and respect they need to do their jobs. Credited for the successful foiling of a Fenian plot during Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in the summer of 1887 (for which he was knighted), he has since had both more resources and more attention on him, and his men. Sharp of mind, wit, and tongue, Sir Angus leads by example, never asking his men to do anything that he wasn’t equally willing to do.

Hasan Lake

Site Canon Character
Inspector, Division H, London Metropolitan Police
35+ · Male
FC: Rahul Kohli
, , , , ,

Inspector Hasan “Henry” Lake is the third son of Lord Nathaniel Lake, Viscount Lake. His father’s holdings in Delhi were also where his parents met. Henry has been afforded every privilege his father’s title confers, but in spite of private tutoring and a university education, he has nonetheless found his calling with the London Metropolitan Police. A neat, dutiful man, he has an excellent track record, and is generally well-liked and respected by his peers. However, he is fully aware that this is largely because of his family’s connections, and has always held himself somewhat apart from his coworkers. Since the recent clash with protestors during Bloody Sunday, Henry has found himself questioning more and more his role as a police officer.

Lord Oscar FitzMaurice

Site Canon Character
Viscount Kirkwall, heir to the Earl of Orkney
30 – 35 · Male
FC: Jude Law
, , , , ,

Having never actually been to his family’s lands but once, Oscar FitzMaurice has long enjoyed the benefits of his family’s name, title, and wealth, without ever having much concern of where any of it comes from. Oxford-educated, he styles himself as a poet and artist. As patron of the arts, he attends a great many parties and salons. He also is the (extremely secretive) owner of a gay brothel off of Cleveland Street, named Maggie’s Place, and he is a frequent attendee. Using his family’s resources, he ensures that the place is kept well off of the police’s radar, his identity is kept well-hidden, and his tastes are kept very quiet. Among the offerings of the brothel, his long-standing favorite is Meredith Trevor; he is possessive of the man, even as he whores him out to pay down a gambling debt Meredith accrued some years ago.

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.

Sean Donoghue

Site Canon Character
Leader of the Greenstreet Gang
30 – 40 · Male
FC: Domhnall Gleeson
, , , , ,

Much is rumored of Sean Donoghue, but little is known. An Irishman who arrived in London approximately four years ago, Sean brutally took over a pre-existing Irish gang in Limehouse, killing the previous leader and replacing many of the members with his own loyalists. While there are many claims about his connections to the Irish Republican Brotherhood, and why he left Ireland, what is known for certain is that Sean Donoghue is not someone to be crossed. He currently has his eyes on the territory of the Black Powder Gang, and it’s only a matter of time before he gives the order and declares war.

Daniel Goodwin

Site Canon Character
Backstreet Surgeon
20 – 30 · Male
FC: Max Riemelt
, , , ,

“Doctor” Daniel Goodwin is the son of a notable London physician, and if the cards had been weighted a bit more in his favor, he would’ve followed in his father’s footsteps. As it was, he made it almost all the way through medical school before falling prey to his worst habits. He failed his final exams, was expelled from the college, and has fallen in with the Black Powder Gang as their primary physician. The fact that he isn’t exactly a doctor doesn’t matter as much to them as it would to most, and it allows Daniel to feel like less of a failure. Win-win, as far as he’s concerned, and his family simply doesn’t need to know how he keeps food on his table or buys them expensive treats.
