	Following the Assassin's departure, Pearl went to meet with Starrick in a nearby warehouse, where they discussed what to do.

	Following Pearl's demise, the London transportation network became destabilized, with both Attaway Transport and the Millner Company having lost their leaders and no other enterprises available to replace them.

	An ambitious woman, Pearl went against many conventions of the time, being determined to create a career of her own. This led her to reject Starrick's proposal, as she intensely disliked the idea of being a mere hostess to guests while her husband led the company.

	Cunning and ruthless, Pearl built up Attaway Transport on her own, a fact she was very proud of, and went to great lengths to see it prosper. Its importance to her was tremendous, as she was prepared to act against the very interests of the local Grand Master to ensure that it was her company, not Millner's, that would have the monopoly on London's transportation.

	She subsequently changed businesses again, changing from private stagecoaches to public [[omnibus]]es.

	Following Starrick's acquisition of the Millner Company in 1867, Pearl's business became the target of various attacks, with buses being set on fire and employees being abducted. On one such occasion, having arrived to see another one of her vehicles go up in flames, she was approached by Jacob Frye. Initially suspicious, Pearl quickly realized he did not know of her affiliation with the Templars and saw an opportunity to turn her situation around.<ref name="Friendly Competition">''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' - ''[[Friendly Competition]]''</ref>		Following Starrick's acquisition of the Millner Company in 1867, Pearl's business became the target of various attacks, with buses being set on fire and employees being abducted.

	Together, the pair tracked down one of Millner's employees, which led them to the businessman's storage yard. There, they discovered he planned to use {{Wiki\|Celluloid\|parkesine}} to blow up one of Pearl's depots. At Pearl's suggestion, Jacob infiltrated the storage yard and ignited the explosives, destroying several of Millner's buses. Emboldened by this success, Pearl decided to extend her partnership with Jacob, officially "hiring" him, despite his protests, and then driving off in a carriage.<ref name="Friendly Competition" />		Together, the pair tracked down one of Millner's employees, which led them to the businessman's storage yard.
