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]].

The Constable | The Constable was born into a family that once ruled [[Spite]] and beyond through crime, making many enemies. Though her father is still infamous, her mother was equally ruthless — perhaps even worse. One day, the Last Constable and her father arrived at Beatrice’s to meet her mother, 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; the Cheery Man dismissed the idea that she would ever need it, yet after her death, he sealed her within it, ensuring the tomb remained utterly lethal to any who dared disturb it.<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> | ||
