MEET CAIUS BEAUCHAMP
An Irish-Jamaican detective in the Met, Caius is a foodie with a mortal fear of scurvy. He lives in a family-owned flat in North London with his girlfriend Callie where he loves nothing better than curling up with a good book. Feeling duty-bound, Caius joined the Met after the unsolved disappearance of his sister Lydia and is surprised he’s still there. He is the son of pragmatic Jamaican-British builder Marcus Beauchamp and Bridget Beauchamp who is from an Irish family but raised in London.
Last year, some complicated inheritance Tetris meant that Caius’s late grandfather, the Jamaican son of a second son, inherited a baronetcy from the single worst man Caius had ever come across, Rupert Hampton, formerly Sir Rupert Beauchamp. Caius is working through his feelings over his family’s change in fortune. He broke his wrist a couple of months ago and is itching to have the cast removed.
