## History

Nothing much is known about his history, George the Beefeater was likely a perve prior to is interactions with Bet Sykes.

## Throughout *Pennyworth* Series

### Meeting Bet Sykes

**George the Beefeater** was working as a guard at the Tower of London, after her trouble in *Pilot* with Alfred Pennyworth and her part in kidnapping Esme Winikus, Bet Sykes was locked away at the tower of London. To await sentencing and then her death.  George was walking around Bet got his attention. At first only asking for a mirror, to know how she looked. He knew the prisoner would have a bag over her head when the noose was up on. Next explain she wanted to look her best for up there. Bet only asks, if he could hold her hand.  George agrees to.

George starts spending more time with Bet in *The Landlord's Daughter*. Playing cards with her. Next moving on to getting to know her even better and physically. With out knowing he was, Bet manipulated her guard **George the Beefeater** into feeling for her and thinking he was taking advantage of her. Till she could black-mail him with condoms she saved.  When she asks him to mail 2 letters, he states that is against the rules. Bet reminds him, as is what he has been doing with a prisoner. Not wanting to lose his job. George sends out both letters. 1 to her sister, Peggy Sykes to who uses her criminal assets to save Bet. The other was to Esme Winikus. Never knowing that as Bet was brought out to be put to death, after the gag and a bag went over her head. It was some other woman dragged out to the noose.

### London shopping at Sykes Pain Supplies

George the Beefeater shows up in Peggy Sykes’ north London shop. Clearly, with the shop catering to everyone’s favorite little kinks in *The Bleeding Heart*.

The last time we saw George, misusing his position at the Bloody Tower, he had been cohering Bet Sykes into letting him have his way with her. Peg was helping George, she needed her sister to get the phone, but as she walk out, he recognizes her. The sister had to decide what to do with him. Katie Browning manages to talk Bet out of killing George.

Funnily, instead of killing George, Peg and Bet made him part of the window deplay. Peggy has the former beefeater displayed in the shop window trapped in a chair with head-gear over his face like a mannequin. The display, considering his liking for leather, seems appropriate.

There was where George sat for every time in a moment one sees the front of the shop. Never seeing his face. At the end of the episode Alfred Pennyworth walks right by him in the window display.

In *The Hangman's Noose*, **George the Beefeater** struggled in the window when the sisters return to the store with Vikki Dufrench as their captive. Katie Browning told Bet, she promised no more violence. Vikki Dufrench joins him trapped in the window. He was still sitting trapped in a chair, with his face fully covered. She was standing to the side of him restated with chains as a display.

## Trivia

* Bet’s ongoing sex shop *window solution* for how to deal with people who can’t be killed but can’t be trusted: do Bet and Peggy feed them? Do they have bathroom breaks? Anyone want to guess how many people are in that window by the end? George was not the last to find himself trapped there.
