Since no one wanted to guess, here's a brief thing to be filled out latter.
Dunmore Throupe was a famous captain... about 150 to 200 years ago. A group of histpry buffs named thier kid after him: Dunmore Throupe (Insert last name I've not come up with yet). He became a fighter pilot. A good one.
Our poor fellow, Dun, also happened to get involved with Glyse... and happens to be the only guy she's ever had deep feelings for....
Now, what's the point of all this?
