Neil Johnson (45) has been the chief of police for the last 10 years. A respectable man who is doing what he can to keep law and order in the Aetherwick. 

Your father was one of the first policemen in Britain. You have decided to walk in his steps. 

In his time, police was a new thing, the system was only starting, and was full of bribes, errors, and mischief, but there was also a vision behind it, vision of a more peaceful and safer society, which both your father and you were trying to fulfil, in your own twisted ways. 

Your father worked himself out to the post of a chief of police in Aetherwick, and when he was killed in action, you got a chance to replace him. It wasn’t only nepotism (even though it was a nepotism as well). You truly worked hard to be a good policemen, and thanks to your successes, and outgoing personality, you made a name for yourself. Yet, the real struggle started when you reached the top. 

Hard choices

Even though you are second only to the Major, you soon realize how hard it is to be surrounded by powerful people. Very soon, you faced the choice – either accept a bribe, or lose your position… and maybe even life. Dead people can’t help… and you truly wish to be helpful. 

Where it started

Ten years ago, you were called to the dead body of a doctor and gentleman Alan Conray, father of Ruby Conray. He was stabbed through the heart with a sword. It looked like a duel. In a gentleman club, you have learned about his argument with the sir Waverly Scott, on of the biggest name of Aetherwick of that time. When you asked him about the argue, he slipped you a huge sum and said he knows nothing about the situation. You passed half  of the money to Ruby in secret, as you knew she might need it to finish her doctor studies. 

Crime lords

There are two main trouble makers in the Aetherwick. 

Merill Collins (42), a crime lord focused on illegal prostitution, and drugs. Her right hand is Claudia Knight (22), and you suspect in their mother-daughter relationship might be something nastier that it seems. 

And then, there is Logan Ahern (42), a crime lord focused on illegal hazard, and his right hand Samuel Fidget (22).

Both of them are having very important clientele. Brothels of Claudia Knights are attracting sir Waverly Scott, and merchant Hughie McMillan (55). Poker nights of Logan Ahern are attracting sir Waverly Scott, as well as merchant Arthur Dart (30), merchant Bradley Harrington (42), and bishop Columbus Ede (45). 

For a long time, you were of a believe a known enemy is better than unknown one. Some form of black market is necessary. There always needs to be someone like them, and if you would remove them, another would take their place. But lately, their drugs operation are getting over the top, and you are starting to think if you could tame them, remove their heads, replace them with their right hands. 

Lost daughter

Twenty years ago, a merchant Hughie McMillan came to you, saying his wife disappeared, together with his daughter. You managed to find your way in the underworld, to learn the wife run away from him, because he was too conservative and pedantic. Because she felt she couldn’t take care of the daughter, she left it with one of the prostitutes in the city, Merrill Collins. You have decided it is best for all not to proceed with the search further, and left it as it was.   

Hellfire club

Once, you were working on a case of missing girl, Alice Donaldson, sister of Mitchell Donaldson. You beat up one punk until you learned the truth: the kid was kidnapped by Merrill Collins and sold to the lady Muriel Clubb. You approached Muriel, but she enchanted you, fucked the brain out of you, laugh out to your incompetence (you would never prove her anything, since you have no proof, just unreliable witness). She explained you they needed her for a ceremony in a Hellfire club – a sex club for posh people. She invited you to join – at least you will be able to prevent similar mishaps in the future. You agreed. Ever since, you stopped her several times before committing something horrendous, so your membership in club is not fully selfish. Also, there are very predominant members of the club: bishop Columbus Ede, lady Victoria Scott, or merchant Arthur Dart, and of course Muriel’s husband sir Early Clubb. 

Detectives

For a long time, your biggest gun was Liam Conolly (30), headstrong man who always charges places, gun blazing, and causes a lot of troubles, but it is him who keeps the bad guys at bay. 

But now, you got a new detective – Mitchell Donaldson (25). He is young, decided to make good, and also to find out what happened to his little sister. And he is asking too many questions. 

Bigger good

There are some things you learned during your years at corps. The crime is necessary. Not only it will always be her, it is often the only refugee of the poor and miserable one. Black market is necessary and it would be insane to try to eradicate it. Your role is to tame it so it won’t grow out of proportion. 

Moral dilemmas

You wonder if you will have to get rid of Mitchell before he will be able to dig some dirt at you. That would be the end. At the same time… would it be so bad? Were you really doing as much good as you were trying to persuade yourself? Isn’t the time to come clean, and purge the city of filth on your way down? 

You spend your money on a small villa in Spain, and send them there for summer. They might never return… but at least they are safe there from your sins, and your enemies. 

sir Waverly Scott (lord, 52)
A big name. You know a lot about him. You know he is visiting brothel of Merill Collins, but is not really having sex with prostitutes, he only listen to their praises. You know he likes hazard and was kicked out of most gentlemen houses in Atherwick. Thus, he might be getting in cahoot with Logan Ahern. He is a shade of his old fame, but he must have been great, because you are almost dead sure he killed a doctor and gentleman Alan Conray in a duel. He paid you to stay shut about the case.

Ruby Conray (doctor, 30)
After the death of her father, you gave her half of the money sir Scott gave you to keep shut. She used them to finish a university in America and return back as a doctor. Impressive young woman who is doing er best to help to poor, but her family fortune is gone, and no rich people will come to her, because she i a woman in a man proffesion.

Merill Collins (crime lord, 42)
A one tough girl-of-a-bitch she is, controlling the whore business in town, and fighting for the control over drugs as well.

Claudia Knight (22)
Right hand of Merill Collins. Possibly an adoptive daughter. Possibly a lover. You are not sure.

Logan Ahern (crime lord, 42)
A one tough son-of-a-bitch he is, controlling the hazard business in town, and fighting for the control over drugs as well.

Samuel Fidget (22)
Right hand of Logan Ahern. Very ambitious. You wouldn’t be suprised if he would take over soon.

Hughie McMillan (merchant, 55)
One of the 3 most important merchants in Aetherwick. Very strict and religious. His wife dissappeared many years ago together with his 2 years old daughter. You learned the wife run away from her despotic husband, and because she couldn’t take care of the daughter herself, she left her with Merrill Collins, who was a prostitute in that time. You told him you didn’t find anything. Hughie didn’t get married again, he is visiting a cheap woman of Merril Collins ever since.

Arthur Dart (merchant, 30)
The richest man in Aetherwick, spoiled brat, a member of Hellfire club.

Bradley Harrington (merchant, 42)
He intends to bring machines to his factory to replace human power. You are expecting a riot because of it. You know he has some ties to Logan Ahern, but no proofs. Might be interesting to find some.

Columbus Ede (bishop, 45)
The charismatic leader of Christian community in Aetherwick. He is also a member of Hellfire club, he plays hazzard at Logan Ahern, and is generally decadent as a poet.

Muriel Clubb (lady, 34)
Femme Fatalle of Aetherwick. A woman spoiled to core. You have a low key crash on her and continuously dream about the single night you spend with her. She is indirectly responsible for the death of Alice Donaldson.

Early Clubb (sir, 33)
The most beautiful man in Aetherwick. As decadent, or more, as Arthur Dart.

Victoria Scott (lady, 34)
A wife of sir Waverly Scott, a member of Hellfire club, where she is regularly cheating on her husband.

Mitchell Donaldson (police, 25)
Young and over-too-proactive detective, a Lancelot protecting all the weak. Potentially dangerous, because his morals won’t allow him to understand the principles of higher good. And you are scared he might find out about what happened to his sister.

Liam Conolly (police, 30)
Headstrong man who always charges places, gun blazing, and causes a lot of troubles, but it is him who keeps the bad guys at bay.

1. Stop drug delivery
Tonight, at 18:00, a big drug delivery is expected. You want to put it at stop, and confiscate the drugs.

2. Replace Logan Ahern with Samuel Fidget
Logan grew too big. It is about time he was replaced by someone more reasonable. If you play it well, Samuel Fidget will be in your pocket.

3. Right the wrong… but at what cost
You were always good in heart, trying to do what is right. But you got really dirty along the way. You wish to fix what you messed up… but don’t know how. Because if you would reveal all you know, you might end up in prison… or dead. And that’s know what you want. You have a daughter and wife you deeply love, and don’t want anything bad to happen to them.
