Dr. George Bishop was born Georges Levesque in the Brittany region of France. His uncle was a Baron back in France, making him a gentleman. Deciding to devote himself to service rather than expect to inherit anything, he became a doctor, and eventually a physician.
From his first wife, he had three sons. He thought his life was complete.
Until the revolution came.
Within a few years, he lost his wife, father, uncle, and brothers, inheriting the Barony. He would meet his wife Marie-Madeleine, the daughter of a gentleman and almost twenty years his junior. After their marriage, they welcomed a son, Vincent.
Then the unthinkable happened. His three sons were executed.
With his title being a target, he, his wife, and young son moved to Calais in Northern France. But with his wife’s impending birth, they waited until their daughter Helena was born to sail to England.
To prevent the Francophobia at the time, he changed the family’s name from Levesque to Bishop, and perfected the English language. He resumed his career as a physician, caring for those in need in the London area.
Now in his advanced age, he is not taking his role as a father and husband for granted. Before joining the British Army, Vincent would accompany his father. Since then, Helena came along with him, though warns her that many think a woman shouldn’t enter the medical field. He is a devoted and jolly husband, father, and friend to those who know him.

Marie-Madeleine “Maddy” Bishop is the only daughter of a gentleman in France. Being part of the landed gentry, Maddy is expected to marry well. That opportunity came when she married a widower physician named Georges.
A year after welcoming son Vincent, her three stepsons were murdered, victims of the Reign of Terror. The family made the heartbreaking decision to leave everything behind and sail to England. They lived in Calais for months after welcoming daughter Helena to the world before sailing across the Channel.
While George dotes on his children, Maddy is the disciplinarian of the family. She makes sure that Vincent and Helena have the best education and be useful people in society.
With her son wed, her focus shifted to marry off her daughter Helena. However, her daughter said she would rather marry for love than for a title. Maddy would remind her that London focuses on status rather than love and to choose wisely. Luckily, the upcoming birth of her grandchild also keeps her busy.
