John Hammon was a wealthy man and a mutual friend of Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin.
Biography[]
Early Life[]
Hammon was born into a wealthy family and was the only child of his father. He also became friends with both Charles Dickens and Charles Darwin.[1]
Return to London[]
After Hammon's father passed away, he returned to London from South Africa to settle his affairs, as well as to meet his aranged bride, Bella Wilton. When he returned to London, Dickens and Darwin asked the Frye twins to act as their escort for they feared he would be robbed, given his "tremendous wealth and charming innocence".[1]
They met Hammon at Waterloo station, where he expressed concern on marrying his fiancée, as they had never met and he was worried that she was marrying him for the money. They were ambushed by a group of Blighters as they left the train station, though the Assassin dealt with them swiftly. Hammon then proposed a plan to see if Bella was genuine in her feelings: act as if the robbers had succeeded in killing him. Though skeptical, the Assassin did as asked, throwing one of the bodies into the Thames and driving Hammon to his fiancée's house to deliver the sad news. She was visibly distraught and John fell in love with her.[1]
Hammon later asked the Assassin for another favor, this time to stage a kidnapping of her so he could leap into action, "saving her life" and winning her heart. Reluctant, the Assassin agreed and did as asked. Though Wilton suspected it was a ruse from the start, she went along with Hammon to hear his explanations. They would soon marry, according to Dickens.[2]
