Biography[edit | edit source]
Early life[edit | edit source]
As the first born child of five, his parents, a carpenter and a housemaker in Southwark expected great things from Malcolm Millner. While his siblings grew up to become bank clerks, crewmen and teachers, the dyslexic Malcolm accomplished nothing, greatly disappointing his parents. Due to the pressure, he lashed out violently at school and eventually left home.[1]
By 1864, he was known as the owner of the Millner Company, which the Templars bought in 1867. He was investigated for arson, assault and murder due to his efforts to sabotage his competitors. These accusations stopped however thanks to Grand Master Crawford Starrick.[1]
Working for the Templars[edit | edit source]
As Starrick's puppet, Millner made sure that Starrick's fierce competitor, Attaway Transport, owned by Pearl Attaway, was blocked of business. Millner often sent his workers to damage Attaway's omnibuses.[2]
In 1868, the Assassin Jacob Frye, who formed an alliance with Pearl Attaway, infiltrated his storage yard and destroyed Millner's omnibuses. This caused Millner's business and profit to decline quickly.[2] His misfortune was further added by Jacob and Attaway's exploits to secure his internal combustion engine for themselves.[3] He then fled to the River Thames, occupied with his ferry, the only business he had left.[4]
The unsatisfied Attaway ordered Jacob to end Millner's life, ending his business permanently. At the Thames harbor, Jacob infiltrated Millner's contraband and sabotaged his goods. Once that was done, Jacob moved in and assassinated Millner. As he died, he revealed to Jacob that Attaway and Starrick were cousins and allies, and regretted getting himself involved in Starrick's businesses.[4]
