Appearances and Mentions
War on Terror
- Being a competitor of a rival shop owned by Angus Trout, Milne soon drove Trout out of business. Trout then became an alcoholic and frequently comes by to hector Milne. Milne is not popular with his neighbours, who call him unsanitary, or his workers, being loose on their wages. His landlord, Michael Decker, attempted to evict Milne, but the latter instilled legal briefs to prevent that.
- In 1899, Milne's shop is bombed. As later interviewed by Detective William Murdoch, Milne admits that he does not know who would do this.
- Milne later spots Constable George Crabtree taking a stroll with Dr. Emily Grace, and calls on him, asking why he is not chasing down the anarchists suspected of bombing his shop. Crabtree claims that the investigation was still on-going, but Milne rudely calls Grace a "trollop", provoking her. Crabtree prevents the two from coming to blows and as they depart his presence, he warns Milne to watch his manners in the future.
- Crabtree later finds evidence that Decker was the culprit, due to the fact that he had sold his building to the Dominion Bank, but Milne refused to leave, so Decker bombed his own shop before the sale closed.
