}}{{spoiler|e1}}{{quote|Nothing good will come of a cousin named Jack, fictional or otherwise.|[[Emma M. Lion]]|ref={{Emma ref|e1|30 March 1883|name=30 March}}}}

'''Jack Hollingstell''' is a con man for hire. [[Mary Bairrage]] hires him to play her fictional cousin.{{ref|name=30 March}}

==History==
Almost nothing is known about Jack besides his claim that he is a younger son.{{Emma ref|e1|14 April 1883|name=14 April}}

==Relationships==
=== Mary Bairrage ===
At some point after moving to London, [[Mary Bairrage]] hired Jack to pose as her cousin. The boarding house in which she lives only allows her to leave during work hours or when accompanied by an approved chaperone. Mary hired Jack to allow her the freedom to leave when she likes, as she has no family willing to accompany her.{{ref|name=30 March}}

==Appearance and Personality==
Jack is of a similar height to Mary Bairrage. His hair is light brown, combed back from his face, and long enough to make him look roguish. His eyes are of an unmemorable color, but as Emma notes, "memorable in how they seemed to sharpen everything around him." Emma also likens his manner to a jungle cat: Sleek, purring, and dangerous. He is described as handsome, with a smile that comes easily.{{ref|name=14 April}}

'''Maxwell''' was a soldier in the [[wikipedia:British Army during the Victorian Era|British Army]] and a close friend of [[Emma M. Lion]].

==History==
Little is known of Maxwell's history beyond that at some point he joined the British Army. Around 1880, while serving in Afghanistan, he was killed in action. His remains were buried in Afghanistan. In April of 1883, Maxwell's brother, Evelyn, writes to Emma that his father is considering exhuming Maxwell's remains to have them interred back in England.{{ref|name=23 April}}

==Relationships==
====Emma M. Lion====
Maxwell and Emma were close,{{ref|name=23 April}} however it is unknown if their affection for each other was romantic in nature. Emma greatly mourns Maxwell's passing. She was not present at his funeral, so a part of her believes him to still be alive.{{Emma ref|e1|26 March 1883|name=26 March}} On several occasions, she believes she catches glimpses of him in men who turn out to be strangers.{{Emma ref|e1|24 March 1883|name=24 March}}{{ref|name=26 March}}

==Appearance and Personality==
Maxwell has gray eyes.{{ref|name=23 April}}
