Thomas Reeve (TAH-mas HEN-ree REEV)
Valet and General Cook
Thomas Henry Reeve (a.k.a. Tom)
Raised in London’s Clerkenwell district, Thomas was the son of a blacksmith and a laundress. He grew up in a working-class neighborhood but had a natural grace that suited quieter tasks—polishing silver, pressing collars, and setting a formal table. Apprenticed briefly to a noble household as a footman, he distinguished himself through attention to detail and quick memory for names, habits, and schedules.
His adaptability earned him travel postings abroad, and by his early twenties, he was accompanying gentlemen on extended stays across the Continent. Though trained in valet duties, he was also capable in the kitchen—especially when staff were light or preferences unpredictable. He understood his role was to be useful, invisible when needed, and always prepared.
