He was raised in an average home with no significant or dramatic death attached to his life.

He mentions that he has never been outside London. It is unknown if George had another job before joining the Fittes Agency before being fired six months later for insubordination, and joining A.J. Lockwood & Co.

George does not tolerate hypocrites and has a somewhat acerbic sense of humour. He has an unhealthy interest in the origins of the Problem and the nature of ghosts and the afterlife.
