Burton wanted to be an actor growing up, but his father and grandfather as well as his uncle forced him to join the family business. By the time he was 12, Burton had gotten a job at the company cleaning the buses, and the rest of the depot. In the 1980's, Burton met a 17 year old Victor Kennedy who had a job sweeping the roads. The two sparked a friendship which would last for years. In 1995, Burton's father died in a car crash, and the Luxsaw Bus Company was passed over to him. As the Company's new owner, Burton added much more additions to the depot including a vending machine, canteen, and other small rackets which is something his father was strongly against. Burton also added more buses to the company including mini buses, school buses, and prison buses. As the bus company only had double decker buses when he took over. In 2003, Victor Kennedy invested in Burton's company for exchange of 45% of the profits. Burton wanting to start up a taxi branch of his company needed money. He went to see Bill Sykes a notorious loan shark and mobster. Sykes not trusting Burton could get him back his money, as Burton's uncle often borrowed money from him, and never gave it back. However, Sykes told Burton about a syndicate he was apart of called the London Underground Crime Syndicate which provided large paying jobs for people like him. Burton joined the LUCS as a hired security guard. Sykes impressed with Burton made him his chief henchman, and put him in charge of his rackets. Burton did so, and climbed up the ranks very quickly, and also became known as a very skilled and experienced hitman. He was able to establish his own taxi service, and called it Luxsaw Taxi and Co. He introduced Victor Kennedy to the Syndicate, and persuaded him to join it too. They both were promoted to lieutenants by the Syndicate's leader Professor John Marcus. Burton also allowed Victor to routinely visit his bus depot to check on things.
