Ned Lyons

Edward "Ned" Lyons was a New York City gangster in the 19th century. A burglar, he learned his trade in the property market around South Windham, Connecticut. From there, he quickly became a notorious hustler and conman.

Ned learned to understand how people think and react, and although impaired by extreme near-sightedness, he was capable of quickly identifying liars, earning himself a high powered position among the gangs of New York. Physically, he had a strikingly large head.
