DESCRIPTION: (left to right) The North Family hailed from the local town of Otterburn somewhere in England. Formed in the year of 1580, coming from a lone manor built away from the town proper, the family had been holding onto Otterburn until World War II, whereas Julius Xander North formed the small battalion on route to join Allied forces in Normandy. Julius' risky yet active involvement in aiding soldiers and civilians prior to his death by an enemy air raid earned his family a great reputation amongst the locale, and Otterburn began receiving more tourists just four years later. The aftermath of the Second World War also inspired Julius' son George North to have his family give up their extra supplies and food to aid Londoners, thus strengthening the family's reputation amongst the recovering capital city. The current generation consisted of the now 50-year-old Benjamin North, his five sons (Amadeus, Christopher, Samson, Simeon and Robert Bruce), and his two daughters (Joan and Victoria), all moved out from their old manor into their new home estate in Santo Tomas, California.
Christopher North, the second oldest son of Benjamin, used to be working as a chemist, back in London, making various chemicals for certain pharmaceutical companies, laboratories, cleaning services, coal and oil corporations. He also had no qualms in committing various and sometimes unethical experiments, with one being the potential prototype of a future muscle growth serum. Once he and his family moved to California, his father bought a lab somewhere near the forested mountains, allowing Christopher to continue working on whatever he pleased. Of course, he had to help his family earn a living by working on requests from similar clients. Despite not being in the same college as Timothy Soro, they became friends at some point, but Chris went as far as buying him the whole condo, with its penthouse serving as Timothy's home.
Victoria North, the youngest daughter of Benjamin but older than Christopher, had been working alongside her older sister Joan as flight stewardesses. However, a recent scandal about their father as the mayor of London affect their career, forcing them to quit their jobs so as to save their co-workers from getting dragged into that scandal. Once Victoria, Joan and their family moved into California, the sisters were called and given an offer to work in the Russian supermarket franchise as its sales representatives, in which they reluctantly agreed. Furthermore, the owner of that supermarket was a good friend of Benjamin and was willing to help his children on the latter's behalf, not knowing that the said children found his genuine approach creepy. Nevertheless, Victoria and Joan did their job well, with tasks bearing some resemblance for a flight stewardess. However a year later, the sister duo was called by the local airline on an offer to work as flight stewardesses to serve passengers in flights across California. They happily accepted and got their original jobs back, except working for the California-based airline.
Samson and Simeon North were young twin sons of Benjamin but four years older than Robert Bruce. Prior to their father's scandalous exposure, Samson worked as a security guard for several properties, while Simeon spent time in London making videos about various things, such as going around landmarks, updating on the British Royal Family, telling about his family and their ancestors, etc. However, they barely studied as much as their siblings did, so once in California, Benjamin sent the twin brothers (alongside Robert Bruce) to college just to make up for their missing studies. They were assigned in the same class as Timothy Soro, but they interacted with him way less than did their old brother Christopher. Samson couldn't help but stood guard around the campus inside and out, which could annoy his fellow college mates and staff, while Simeon was frequently making videos about his current experiences in California.
Amadeus North, the eldest son of Benjamin, used to work as a CEO of a well-known airline based in London for several years, until the scandal came out against his father. Being a proud and diligent contributor to the said airline, Amadeus was hit the hardest when he was demanded to resign and move out to California alongside his family, and it took him the longest time to fully understand his father's intentions in initiating with shady deals before it was time to forgive him. However, Amadeus had a difficulty trying to find a job related to an airliner, and instead found one in the mines. He was also used to do a myriad of menial jobs, so he had no problem getting his hands dirty until he would get what he wanted. For over two years, Amadeus had grown up his ranks up to becoming the CEO of a mining company, but he remained cynical, missing his old CEO position from the London-based airline.
The only living son of George North, Benjamin had entered the picture in 1980s as an effective politician residing in London but working on behalf of Otterburn and the whole county of Northumberland. However, his consistently humble approach to many walks of life earned him popularity in span of several months, before Londoners decided to vote him as their mayor in the coming election. Unbeknownst to everyone however, he also engaged in a myriad of shady acts, let it be chemical and firearms smuggling, black market sales, negotiations with upper-class gangs, blackmail and so on, all in hopes of expanding the North influence into London and possibly the rest of the British Isles, as demanded and encouraged by his late father, aunts and uncles. Benjamin would remain scot-free as the Mayor of London for decades until the New Yorker news reporter mouse made a clumsy discovery into the North manor's basement. Once his shady antics were aired to the public, Benjamin felt confused and horrified at such the relevation despite years of pragmatic or careful cover-ups. Even though all of his children were understanding towards his intentions, the said scandal exposure had their jobs put on hold and themselves on serious amounts of investigation on account of association with their father. With all of his decades-old reputation tarnished, Benjamin became anxious on what would happen to his children when they only did nothing to do with his crimes but willingly remain silent. His loyal secretary on the other hand suggested moving into Santo Tomas, California, where he used to live before, and the North family did. However, Benjamin's scandal was publicized only to the whole of the United Kingdom, so the people of California would have much longer to know about him once he came into the Californian politics. This time, Benjamin decided to refrain himself or anyone in his family from making shady deals, so as to avoid the same mistake, and for a year he had managed to earn the trust of the people of Santo Tomas and the position as its mayor. Few years later then, the scandal back in the UK died down, but remained relevant only in London. Being the oldest member of the North family alive, Benjamin sought to take the last of what he had back in Otterburn, all before he could tearfully say goodbye to his old manor and his past generations laid in tombstones.
