| The '''Last Constable''' is the self-proclaimed "last honest Special Constable in [[London]]," having distanced herself from her colleagues when they fell in with the [[Ministry of Public Decency]] and the [[Masters of the Bazaar]]. Her primary objective is to dismantle the criminal operations of her father, the [[Cheery Man]], a notorious crime lord in the city.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Working_with_the_Last_Constable|Working with the Last Constable|Fallen London|}} ''"You've heard of the Cheery Man? He runs Watchmaker's Hill and half the Docks."''</ref> A dedicated investigator, the Last Constable spends much of her time holed up in an office above Caligula’s Coffee-House. She is an avid drinker of their coffee, which keeps her working but deprives her of much-needed sleep.<ref name=":0">[https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Working_with_the_Last_Constable Working with the Last Constable, ''Fallen London''] ''"You find her in a cramped office above Caligula's Coffee-House. [...]'' ''She comes downstairs for a cup of coffee. The staff bring her the 'usual' – a dangerously deep mug [...] She drains half of it in one swallow. "I'm sorry. I haven't been sleeping well. I'm the only one left, you see. The only one. The others all work for the Ministry now. Masters' puppets."''</ref>

| The Constable's parents that once ruled [[Spite]] and beyond through crime, making as many enemies as one might expect.<ref name=":03" /> One day, the Last Constable and her father went to meet her mother for tea at Beatrice's, only to find a deadly ambush unfolding. Though her mother fought fiercely and took down many of her attackers, she did not survive, leaving her husband alone to raise their daughter.<ref name=":03">{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Ask_the_Last_Constable_about_her_mother|Ask the Last Constable about her mother|Fallen London|}} ''"Don't get me wrong. Mother was every bit as bad as my father. Worse, sometimes. [...] Spite and beyond used to be part of the family empire. They ruled it together, and you don't do that without making enemies. One day, father and I went to meet her at Beatrice's. [...] But when we saw what was going on inside - even though she'd taken down a number of them - no, he didn't want to stop. [...] And then it was just us two.""''</ref> Before her death, the Constable's mother had requested a coffin filled with [[sunlight]] should the worst happen, as she despised the idea of any form of undeath.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Inquire_after_the_tomb_(Last_Constable)|Inquire after the tomb (Last Constable)|Fallen London|}} ''"She asked my father a favour. To prepare a coffin filled with sunlight for her, in case. That's why the tomb's sealed as it is. The light is utterly lethal. Father being as he is, never considered she'd actually ever need it. And so here we are. And there she lies."''</ref>
