Your Character
You meet Liam at his estate where he holds a cricket match. If you are wearing the premium outfit, his interest in you is peaked. However, when you try to talk to him, he doesn't pay any attention to you until after you've played a game. If you win your game, he is willing to answer a few questions about your sister.

While he is attending to his other guests, you have the premium opportunity to sneak off to his greenhouse with John. If you do and if you're successful in solving the puzzle to unlock the internal doors, you find a hidden and more humid part of the greenhouse, which holds more exotic plants. John suspects that perhaps the poison that was used to kill Amelia may have originated from one of those plants, which are native to India.

After dinner, if you decide to play a round of Impostor with him and the other guests, you find out that he once pulled strings in government to help a friend. Although he protests Nicolette Pritchard's impression of him, you get the feeling that he wouldn't be above a cover-up if it was in his power.

In Chapter 12, if you decide to eavesdrop on him, Percy, and Marquess Huntsbury, you learn that he thinks of you as just a pesky fly that can be ignored. Percy tries to warn him that they should be wary of you but Liam thinks if you become a problem like your sister, they can easily deal with you.

Amelia Hayes
If you have the opportunity to ask about Amelia, Liam tells you that he regarded her as too radical for his taste. He says he wasn't overly fond of her himself, but she was a spitfire and was always talking about foreign affairs at dinner parties. She had managed to charm a diplomat that Liam knows in order to gain access to his political circle. He suspected that her real motive was to try to persuade the men to consider her ideology, as he had overheard her confide in a lady of her intent.

He tells you that he never sent Amelia any correspondence, but that he wouldn't be surprised if other men did. She had drawn the attentions of other men who were distracted by her and envious of Francis for being her fiance. He believes a lady can get away with quite a lot of things when she's being charming.

In Chapter 12, if you decide to eavesdrop on him, you learn Liam and Percy were wary of your sister but the problems she caused were easily solved.

Percy Jennings
Percy Jennings is Liam's attache. Liam states that Percy handles most of his correspondence. In Chapter 12, it is shown that he doesn't have a lot of respect for Percy. If you follow them with Hugh Crawford, you overhear him dismissing Percy's concerns regarding your investigation into Amelia's death.
