Hex's father

Hex was raised by his father and his maternal grandmother, Hilda Schofield, after Cassandra Schofield ran away. (AUDIO: Live 34, Night Thoughts)

He worked at the docks but was forced to accept redundancy after an extended period of industrial action by workers. In doing so he lost his livelihood. This experience led Hex to study medicine, given that it was a job that would always be in demand, and eventually work at St Gart's Brookside Hospital as a nurse. (AUDIO: Live 34)

On one occasion, he was almost fired from the docks when he fell asleep on the job. (AUDIO: The Veiled Leopard)
