Biography
Time as a policeman
In 1863, Greyling worked as a policeman in the Broadway Squad of the New York Police Force during the New York City draft riots, suffering bad cuts in the process. During his recuperation, he met Horace Greeley, the founder and editor of the New-York Tribune. Greely was impressed by Greyling's actions, so he wrote an elogious article about him, which made him a hero.[1]
At some point before 1872, Greyling left the Police Force and joined the Pinkerton agency.
Meeting Horace Greeley
In 1872, Greyling visited Greeley in his home in Plesantville, New York, who was on his death after being poisoned. As both of them reminisce their first encounter in 1863, Greely informed Greyling that someone in President Ulysses S. Grant's inner circle had poisoned him, leading to his death. He also told him that Grant was in possession of a precursor artifact, which he used to manipulate the elections.[1]
During the conversation, Greeley fell asleep so Greyling allows him to rest. He lets the nurse attends to him before leaving the room. However, Greeley senses something amiss so he enters the room, managing to prevent the nurse from suffocating his friend to death. The nurse is later revealed to be a Templar agent. Before he is able to fire his gun, the nurse throws a knife at him which leaves a cut on his face, before escaping through the window.[1]
Tracking the Templar agent
Despite surving the incident, Greeley later died and Greyling charged himself to investigate his death. Believing the agent to have fled to the United Kingdom, Greyling board a ship to investigate. Along the journey, Greyling encountered Mark Twain, a fellow American and author. The two discussed about Greeley, who had been a friend of both, and his murder. Twain offered to help him after hearing about the Pieces of Eden, of which he heard about during his travels.[2]
Greyling and Twain tracked down the Templar agent to London, England, confronting her above the rooftops of the British Museum. Before he could arrest her, the agent attacks him and attaches a rope onto him and jumps off the building, pulling Greyling down with he and escaping in the process. Before Greyling lost his grip, he was saved by the timely arrival of British Assassins Henry Green and Evie Frye, whom Frederick Abberline had seek asistance from. The next morning, the group met in the Scotland Yard morgue, where Frederick informed them that the Templar agent was a bait to lure them away from the museum so that her accomplice can search the museum. They studied the mud prints of Constable Niall Hobday, one of the museum guards and tracked the findings to a slaughterhouse.[2]
At the slaughterhouse, they find Edward Feather, the Head Clerk of Acqusitions at the museum who is still alive but unconscious. They were confronted by the Templar agent, who brought the Blighters gang with her. A firefight ensues which ended with the group victorious. The agent however managed to obtain information from Feather and escaped to the museum. The group made their way there, discovering the dead watchmen left in her tracks. They proceed to the Acquisition Department, where they find the agent and Blighters rummaging through the cabinets, triggering another firefight. The agent attempts to flee again, before being confronted by Greyling and Frye. Faking surrender, the agent throws a smoke bomb, allowing her to escape again.
