• Protagonist - Samuel Parker was born in London to a family of low to middle class. His parents were happily married and he had an older sister. He was a young trouble maker who only listened to what his family said. He loved listening to stories told by his father about history and treasure hunting and always dreamed of becoming a man who would be involved in a story just like his fathers. His father was also a collector of historical items and his study was filled with items from all over the world and files about items in which he has either collected or wishes to collect. Many people would attempt to but these items but they were never sold which lead to some people being envious and livid towards the Parker's leading them to making many enemies. He was trained to fight by people on the streets and would get into a lot of booked gang fights to earn money, he was frequently caught up by the law and has a criminal record for stealing multiple items. In school he would only concentrate on history and Geography which he excelled at highly but all other subjects were failed by him, leaving him to get bullied for being a dunce. At the age of 18 his family was taken by a house fire after the kitchen exploded, the deaths were said to be caused by a gas leak. Parker learned to live with the loss after a few months and decided to carry on his father's legacy of collecting historical items as a way to hold onto the memories of his family, he was also given a box of his father's files which he kept a secret from Sam. In these files were items which his father had failed to gather and gave Sam a reason to take up the treasure hunting business. He met Jonathan when they were attempting to take the same item and after a heated debate and some time spent together in prison, they decided to work cooperatively.
• Side kick - There is not much known about Johnathan's early life, there are no criminal records that can be found about him, no school information or anything. No one knows why this is but from what they do know about Johnny is that he is a great thief. He has stolen some of the greatest treasures from the most prestigious landmarks in the world. He has never mentioned his family life or shown to anyone the fact that he has any family, but it is rumoured that he was given up for adoption at the age of 5. After him and Sam started working together Johnny took on this protege roll, he taught Sam many different skills and learned quite a lot about history and treasures from Sam. The two both offered something the other one needed and the adventures they had together were beginning to shape up and become the stories that Samuel had loved to hear from his father as a child.
• The nerd - There is hardly much known about Katie (no one even knows her last name) except for the fact she has a unhealthy obsession computers. She gained a degree in computing at the university of Oxford. After following the news of one of Sam and Johnny's heists she decided to track both of them down and offer her skills towards some of their heists. At first they thought it was a joke but after seeing some of her technology and skills they decided to recruit her.
• Antagonist - Baxter Baldwin was born in Devon to a notoriously rich family, he was homeschooled and very educated in many subjects. His father was a business man running a company that sold oil, his hobbies involved collecting artefacts and displaying them proudly round the families mansion. Baxter grew up hardly spending time with his family, the main person in his life was his nanny and the objects that surrounded the house. These objects amazed him and he wanted to grow up collecting artefacts just like his father so he could showcase them in his house. He also became heavily interested in boxing from the age of 10 and onwards and was involved in professional tournaments, some of which he won. When Baxter got to the age of 23 he inherited his father's company after his father died from an illness that had plagued him for a few years. From the money Baxter earned from the company he would spend trying to excavate artefacts. Baxter continued to box in his spare time and would enter competitions still however, one fight led to him also being beaten to death. After he won one of the competitions a crime lord was not happy with how the outcome had turned out and decided to get his goons to jump Baxter. When Baxter awoke from being knocked out he was hung upside down with his nanny (who now worked as a maid for him) kneeling in the middle of a warehouse room. She was beaten and tortured in front of him by the crime lord who laughed as he did so. After she died Baxter was knocked unconscious again, he woke up in the middle of some fields with a note telling him not to get on the lord's bad side again. This event drove Baxter to insanity and after months of getting involved in the illegal business and plotting of his revenge he finally murdered the crime lord in the exact same method as how he murdered Baxter's maid except Baxter made the torture a lot longer and more painful. After this ordeal he took over the illegal gang and empire this crime boss had built to produce even more money. He used this money to hire a private army and stop anyone who attempted to cross his path.
