Household

Larkin Hughes Valet The Hughes were a family of minor note within the East India Company, suffering a loss of wealth and status in its dissolution and consigned to the service of better families. Vicrum met Larkin, the youngest Hughes son, as the young man scrambled to regain some measure of his family's past influence by developing connections within the Ceylonese tea trade. Larkin's charm had already opened some doors, so Vicrum offered himself as a knowledgeable and well-connected friend, soon learning Larkin's denied proclivity for the company of men. When Vicrum showed himself sympathetic to the young man's hungers and guided him toward their satiation, Larkin was all too happy to abandon his ambitions and become Vicrum's man. Larkin glorifies the myth of a roughneck American West as the modern equivalent to the rise of Britain's colonial power in the East and delights in its trappings, which few would expect from the well-mannered and exceedingly polite young man. In private, however, Vicrum is pleased to both indulge the young man's fetish and punish him for its arrogance.

The Ceylon Gemology Consortium

Although Vicrum handles the most important aspects of the Consortium's business, he does employ a few people to handle its day to day activities.

• Musthafa Hussein Kaleel (MHK) Rauf: Clerk. Both Kaleel and Javid are Ceylonese Moors, though Kaleel has lived in London all his life, while Javid came with Vicrum from Ceylon. Kaleel's duties center around the operations of the storefront and London-facing aspects of the business, as he was hired for his ability to satisfy British protocol in bookkeeping and paperwork. He is a middle-aged Muslim with a large family of his own, and several of his sons are dockworkers nearby. He takes his lunch with them when their work allows, often on the docks but sometimes in the Consortium offices.

• Javid Muhammed Javid (JMJ) Muneer: Clerk. Javid is the son of another Consortium member and handles much of the shipping side of the business, along with correspondence with Ceylon. Though young, Javid is canny, well able to manipulate shipping manifests to skim a bit of material off for private sale to those in the know, allowing Vicrum to increase the Consortium's profits away from prying British eyes. Javid has yet to settle comfortably into London life, spending most of his day at the offices and heading directly home to his Muslim neighborhood in Limehouse after. One of the Consortium's British contacts once shortened Javid's Muslim name to JJ after seeing his signature on paper, which stuck with the British set, many of whom now call him JJ instead of Javid, much to the young man's chagrin.

• Stephen Short, esq. Solicitor. Upon arriving in London, Vicrum sought the services of a British solicitor to represent the Consortium and found precious few willing to take the work seriously. Kaleel knew of Stephen Short because the man, once respected as a solicitor of talent, dared to marry an Indian woman and was shunned in many business circles. He and Vicrum got on well enough, and Stephen quickly showed respect for Ceylonese traditions, which cemented his place with the Consortium. Since then, it has become apparent to his old "friends" that Stephen represents a client with no small amount of money and means, and he has regained some of his footing, thanks also to a few discreet adjustments on Vicrum's part.

Rivals

Kristian de Graal Gemstones & Jewelry Mogul It is said that no gemstone in Britain is sold without the House of de Graal seeing its share, and this might not be hyperbole. To everyone else, the House of de Graal is one of the nouveau riche – those mercantilists who have ridden the coat-tails of Britain's imperialism to astounding wealth that equals (or in many cases) exceeds that of its old landed aristocracy. Kristian is the darling of the social set in London at the moment, and with good reason: he is obscenely wealthy, handsome, and the lady often seen on his arm is only his sister Marigratia. Even the purest of blue bloods have looked at the House of de Graal's wealth, with its controlling mineral interests in every British holding and quite a few that are not, and wondered if any of its daughters might be wedded to it as a means of settling their debts. For his part, Kristian is conniving but genial, stubborn but graceful, and utterly bloodthirsty when it comes to his goals being stymied.
