Alternate Past: Hail to the Bishop, Baby
He had to admit, part of him still couldn't believe he was really here. Years after he'd been forced to leave his home, robbed of his inheritance, he was now in his father's old office. After Shaw stole his inheritance, Edmund had become a professional assassin, hoping to curry influence and favors from the world's shadowy power players in hopes that one day he could return home and take back what was stolen from him. Apparently his reputation had gotten the attention of someone he hadn't seen in years, his old friend, Julian Howard. After reuniting, Julian presented him with a plan that would bring down Shaw. Julian's plan was risky, but Edmund had to admit, he was tired of waiting. Shaw was going down. It had worked out better than he could have hoped. Shaw was finally gone and Julian promptly returned Harry Leland's assets to Edmund. Being a part of the Hellfire Club, the way his father had always intended for him, had lit a fire under Edmund, and it wasn't long before he gained his dad's old title of Black Bishop. Edmund had everything he had always wanted, wealth, power, respect, and a permanent place to call home. For the first time in a long time, Edmund felt truly happy. He sat back in his office chair, and just took a moment to relax and take things in.
