Morning all. Another WCRPG related thread; hoping I can get some help on a few things without having to go re-read the novels and hunt through Academy a yet again.
I've been working on character profiles for the last couple of weeks and I've got a lot of the data I need to start work, but there are a few gaps in my knowledge (and a few gaps over at WCPedia and the CIC Encyclopedia on the topic of characters). So, I figured I'd ask and see if y'all might help me fill them in.
First question: Manuel Ulandi - do we have any idea from whereabouts he's from? I've tried tracing the surname but haven't been successful. Mainly looking for ethnicity here - the given name "Manuel" suggests Spanish or Portuguese descent.
Second question: Skip Banbridge - vs- Wayne Banbridge? Am I right in thinking these are two different guys? Seeing as Action Stations takes place in 2634 and End Run/Fleet Action takes place around 2669, that seems to make sense - it would be incredibly odd I think, even in wartime, for someone to hold the position of Chief of Naval Operations for at least 35 years, especially considering they'd have to be old enough to achieve a high flag rank before they could hold the post. I think Arleigh Burke was the longest serving CNO in US history...and he only held the position for about six years. This does bring up corollary questions about the relationship between Skip and Wayne, but I'll wait until I get my original question answered before going down that road.
Third Question: Thrakhath's half sister (you know, the Cat in pink from Academy) - I want to make sure I have her name right: is it Zukara? In which episode does she first show up (I know it's one of the later ones)?
A lot of the remaining questions I have left deal with Vance Richards...let's start with these and see what comes up.
