Brief character history:
Years ago, Harry Fisher was a common, run-of-the-mill thug. He had a boss, and Harry did his bidding. Murders, robberies, smuggling, collecting money from those who didn't want any trouble and the more besides. Harry spent several years working his way through what passed as a hierarchy in those circles, until he was a trusted bodyguard and confidant of the gang leader. Harry, charismatic and friendly, as well as ambitious, saw a way to climb to the very top of the ladder, and killed the man who had once trusted him. Rumour says Harry made the man's wife his mistress, and then with her encouragement killed her husband, and not long after killed her also. Harry seems happy to let this rumour continue and spread, becoming darker and darker with every re-telling.

A couple of years ago, Harry saw a business opportunity in the form of a theatre, re-possessed by debt-collectors. He purchased the building, and hired new staff, young, pretty Variety actors who could draw in the right sort of crowds, and the cash, and work after the curtain went down for private admirers. He normally acts as a chaperon for boys who go out with favoured patrons.

As well as prostitution, there is cock- and dog- fighting, burglary, smuggling, the black-market as well as political manipulation and bribery to keep Harry busy. He has two prize Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Blitzer and Hawker, who he likes to take to the theatre when the actors start acting out of hand. According to the stories, once one boy attempted to run away, and Harry allowed the dogs to chase him. Many of these stories then continue to describe the boy's grisly end. Again, none of the boys presently living or working at the Theatre seem to remember being present at the time, but the rumours, and the dogs, are normally enough to make them behave.

But this isn't the only side of Harry. He's looking for a wife. A nice, quiet, beautiful wife, one he can be proud of, one that would suit his carefully decorated town-house. But not one who doesn't know her place. She needs a title, or at least money and a respectable name, and with the flood of widowed or orphaned French ladies coming to England to escape the Terror, Harry is sure he'll find one soon.

To Be Continued.

Nell Abbot
Harry's first young man, the son of the Bridge Threatre's original owner. Harry took a liking to him and offered Nell a position, work for him as an actor and whore and stay at the Theatre, or leave and end up working as a street whore. Harry's developed rather a soft spot for Nell, and although he doesn't think it's obvious, to many it most plainly is. And for a pimp, he does tend to get jealous, but only of those men that treat Nell well, offer him gifts, sweets, luxuries and things that Harry likes to get him.
He won't admit his feelings, of course, not in words, and he hasn't really acknowledged them privately yet. He's still planning to get married to some posh bint, but it doesn't mean that he's going to stop his relationship with Nell. He wants the boy to move into the town house on a permanent basis, and Nell's future career is the the predominant reason Harry's theatre is expanding into Shakespearean drama.

Harry Fisher is a social climber. He's handsome and a known patron of the arts, aiming to marry one of those wealthy French heiresses swanning around court, or even an English woman, if she's rich enough.

Harry owns a town-house in London, and has certain business interests he doesn't like to discuss. He likes to be seen in the fashionable coffee houses, in the galleries and at the parties. And that's where he is now- at the fashionable coffee house not far from Regent's Park, enjoying a warm drink and watching the other patrons, a copy of the Times on the table before him.
