The Governor's Bodyguards
Reginald and Ronald are the Governor's bodyguards. Twins, born of Violet Annie Cray in the East End of London. The home country has proved too hot for them after overdoing their cunning scheme of enlisting in the army, taking the shilling and then deserting. They were recognised on their fifth enlistment and sentenced to hard labour in prison. Escaping, they stowed away on a ship which was bound for the West Indies. Recognising their propensity for gratuitous violence, Sir Frobisher Fotheringay-Featherstonhaugh took the twins into his employment, feeling the need for personal protection in these unsettled times.

Fine additions Martin, and enjoying all the little backgrounds ith each set of figures
Given who they are, what could possible go wrong taking them as bodyguards ?
It was either them or Doug and Dinsdale Piranha...
Another fabulous pair and the back stories are so entertaining too.
Thanks, Dave. I'm having a lot of fun naming the characters and inventing back-stories whilst I'm painting.
Bound to be some nastiness later on, Frank!
Oddly enough, one of the players is called Doug. I am absolutely certain the Piranha Brothers will make an appearance somewhere.
Thanks, Michael. I am indulging my over-active imagination here. As Lewis Carroll has it, 'Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality'!
