Edward Bayley

Edward Hodson Bayley (1841 – 7 March 1938) was an English businessman, London omnibus manufacturer, and politician during the 19th century.

Biography

By 1868, Edward Bayley, inspired by American ideologies, intended to unite the majority of transportation companies in London under the London General Omnibus Company. However, his plans were thwarted by the Templars.

Bayley, as the only omnibus manufacturer in London, was harassed and threatened by the Templar-affiliated gang, the Blighters, after the downfall of their omnibus businesses Attaway Transport and Millner Company. He was chased by the Blighters on carriage and saved by the British Assassin Evie Frye. They rode to Pearl Attaway's former omnibus factory to steal the deed and return it to Bayley, securing his family's safety.

In return, Bayley introduced Evie to the founders of the London General Omnibus Company and notified her that they would start working in supplying omnibuses for the city.

Trivia

• A database entry was written for Bayley but ultimately removed from the game. It can still be found in the internal files of Assassin's Creed: Syndicate.
