Emmett Byng was the son of the elderly anthropologist Professor Byng. He lived in London during the Victorian era.
Biography[]
Being the son of an highly-esteemed social scientist, Emmett stood to inherit a considerable amount of money upon his father's death. By 1868, Emmett was engaged to Virginia, who worked for his father at the university. Professor Byng, however, disapproved of the engagement, believing Virginia to be after Emmett's inheritance. Nevertheless, Emmett believed that his father and fiancée would come to befriend one another if given the time.[1]
Before that could happen, however, Professor Byng died of a heart attack. Emmett made all the necessary arrangements for the funeral, and locked up the family tomb after his father had been laid to rest. The following day, after hearing incessant pounding on the door, Emmett and Angela the maid witnessed a severely injured Professor Byng stumbling into his own parlor before he collapsed and died again.[1]
The British Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye investigated Professor Byng's death, unveiling how his first 'death' had merely been a comatose state induced by spider venom. Emmett was interrogated, but proved to be innocent of the crime.[1]
