This is super random and specific but the idea won’t leave me alone! So in Napoleonic France there was this guy called Eugène-François Vidocq (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugène_François_Vidocq), who was one of the inspirations for Javert in Les Miserables and had a fascinating life.
Vidocq—born five years after Booker—was a French thief, forger and army deserter who formed a unit of secret agents within the Parisian police called the Sûreté, mostly composed of other ex-criminals. Probably because they were former criminals, the Sûreté was actually super successful at reducing crime! There was a whole movie about Vidocq a couple years ago (trailer here if you’re interested: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KacFlzRKfeg)
Anyway, the prompt is that Booker was a member of Vidocq’s Sûreté. Do with that what you will!
Booker & Vidocq, Napoleonic France shenanigans
