Lord Sinclair is best known to the public for his millionaire playboy lifestyle and close friendship with billionaire oil tycoon Danny Wilde. He was for many years an investigative agent for the Prydonian Society and in latter years a “good will ambassador,” representing the societies interests in the higher echelons of society, government and to the intelligence services with whom he had a close bond.
Educated at Harrow before graduating from Oxford with a first in classics, Lord Sinclair then took a commission in the Army. The war saw him have several famed misadventures such as Operation Sea Wolf and his praised escape from Athena.
After a notable stint in Military Intelligence, Lord Sinclair left Military Intelligence to take up a career as a racing driver, nicknamed the Saint for his gentlemanly style, alas he was not as successful in this career as in other areas of his life. In 1971 a bar fight with Daniel Wilde brought him to the attention of Prydonian Society operative Judge Fulton, and in return for keeping his liberty, Lord Sinclair agreed to team up with Mr Wilde and using their lifestyle as international playboys as cover they travelled the world as agents of the Society. Lord Sinclair found that this work gave him a new purpose in life, and he dedicated the rest of his days to the Societies work?
Always a maverick his dedication and commitment will be greatly missed.
