"The Constables protect the rich, the powerful, and the Masters. But sometimes, too, they protect the wretched poor."

The Constables are what remains of London's police force. A separate but similar branch of constables called Special Constables work under Mr Pages' Ministry of Public Decency, and their duties include censorship as well as acting as enforcers for the Masters.

The Velocipede Squad

The segment of the Constables that actually enforces the law is the Velocipede (aka Bicycle) Squad, led by the Knuckle-Scarred Inspector. These are literally police enforcers racing around on penny-farthings, which must make for a hilarious sight!

The Honey-Addled Detective

"An elegant wreck of a man, like a lightning-struck chateau."

The Honey-Addled Detective

Once one of the greatest detectives in London, the Honey-Addled Detective has been crippled by his addiction to prisoner's honey. These days he lives in a tiny apartment on Moloch Street, doing his best to help the city's brand-new detectives. Even though his honey-dreams leave him stuck in the past,[1] he's still a great mind, and his advice is sought by professionals like the Last Constable.[2]
