Rory Tremane. A man who has devoted his life to serving the British Empire and putting uppity lions in their place. However, his public persona as the world's greatest circus entertainer hides a far more important and dangerous role played by this unassuming unsung hero. When not thriling throngs of adoring fans under the big top, Rory Tremane risks life and limb in an unending struggle against the evil forces ranged against civilisation and common decency as represented by our beloved monarch. Due to his (until now) unreported efforts, the populatons of huge swathes of the known world could sleep easily in their respective beds, safe in the knowledge that the protective fatherly embrace of the British Empire was there to uphold them come what may.
