Early life[]

Bannister was born in the English Midlands as the son of a poor cobbler. At the age of fourteen, his grandmother paid for him to sail on an emigration ship. He came up the hard way, learning how to speak, how to dress, how to behave, changing jobs each time he felt he was ready for the next step. Bannister joined the van Rhijn household a year before the death of Mr. van Rhijn.
