History

Sapie and Sixsmith were both involved in creating the Victoriam City, however Hiram was more involved with the relations, business, and legal aspects of the city itself. When the city was completed, Hiram took credit for the project, and although Sixsmith's name was known, he was never given credit for all the work that they did.

Relationship Reasoning

They have a strictly professional relationship, and Sixsmith greatly resents Sapie for falsely taking credit for Victoriam City.
