The company has its roots in Faraday Industries, a business set up by Ernest Faraday who is credited as the Father of the Modern Age, Hero of Industry, and Loving Parent to all things Clockwork. Faraday Industries, operating under the slogan, "Faraday Industries-Where Faraway Dreams Become Reality!" was responsible for many early advances in the Industrial Age, including transforming Bowerstone Slums into a happy and productive place, and constructing the Mistpeak to Millfields Monorail. Faraday also opened a theme park on his home Clockwork Island to showcase his creations. Commander Milton mentions that people used to line up for hours in Bowerstone to witness Faraday's work, while Faraday himself simply was content making people's lives easier and happier.
