Member Profile - Professor Sir Alexander Saxton

I


Sir Alexander taught Latin and Pagan studies at The Academy where he was affectionately known by his colleagues as Raptor.

One of Raptor's quirks was his fondness for wandering The Matrix under the light of a full moon. What few people realised however was this particular quirk arose because acute heliophobia meant he was unwilling and unable to venture outside during the day.

His favourite time of the year was the Autumn and every 5th November he always made sure he was in charge of building The Academy bonfire and sourcing the guy to place on top of it.

On his retirement Sir Alexander relocated to Phang Nga Bay to indulge in his hobby of marksmanship.

Member Profile - Sir Henry Bull


Castellan for many years Sir Henry kept a register of Prydonian Society  members who he deemed not to be achieving the high standards necessary when undertaking society business. 
If somebody displeased him he would be often heard to say "Your name is going on the list".
It is therefore somewhat surprising that it was during Sir Henry's stewardship that the "The Dorchester Incident" occurred (the darkest event in Prydonian Society history) the consequences of which led to Sir Henry's resignation to spend more time undertaking his professional vocation of transpecies neurosurgical transposition.

Member Profile - Dikko Henderson


Henderson was a veteran field-agent for The Prydonian Society in Japan. He lived in Japan for nearly 30 years and was an enthusiast of Japanese style in food, clothing and furnishings, although he did still relish some old English comforts such as his leather Chesterfield chair and collection of classic books. He was also fond of the odd vesper martini, although never when undertaking business for The Society.

Noted London clubman, explorer and father of Donald Ross, the discoverer of the fabled "Whale's Graveyard". 
Sir Anthony's early and visionary adoption of dirigible technology, using well equipped airships to traverse the Arctic wastes, allowed him access to areas and settlements previously considered to be purely mythical.
