Albert Darlington

Detective Inspector Albert Darlington is a well-regarded officer of the London Metropolitan Police. Born in 1887, in Bow, London to poor parents who worked on the railways, Albert left school at age 13 and took work in a cobblers. At age 18 he joined the Met as a Constable. Diligent and honest and hardworking, Albert worked his way up the ranks to Sergeant. In 1910 he arrested the notorious murderer, Dr Crippen, which afforded him a modicum of public fame and gained him a promotion to Detective Sergeant on the C.I.D (Criminal Investigation Department) at Scotland Yard. Unfortunately, due to various circumstances, Darlington's police career has since stalled in it's upward trajectory.

Albert Darlington is a big man; tall, imposing and solidly built. He is rather strong (was a keen boxer in his youth) but physically out-of-shape, wheezing for air if forced to run for too long. He has a face weathered by the streets of London and his eyes treat everyone he meets with suspicion. He is rarely seen without either a pipe, a cup of tea, or a corned-beef sandwich in his hand.
