Background:
Cyril was the second son of a small aristocratic family the Humblets of Guildford, Surrey County. As a boy he preferred the countryside over his books and tutors, and so it was of no surprise that he enlisted in the army at an early age joining the local Queen's loyal regiment (2nd Foot).
Cyril's upbringing made him a typical officer of the British empire- tough, dedicated and sure of himself. His peers would describe him as levelheaded or strong headed, his men more likely would as hotheaded. Cyril had a successful career serving all over the empire and had been promoted to captain and later during the Great war to major. One of his regiment officers noted once that it is quit remarkable that in all those years spent in exotic locations the major has not picked more then a few words of any foreign language. Cyril met his wife Margaret when he was stationed in India. Sadly he lost both her and their only child Cedric during the Boer war, he never remarried.
Cyril retired from the army soon after the Great war ended, he has returned to his family mansion at Guildford but found life there to be to crowded. For the past seven years he has lived in a small country cottage where he can pursue his hobbies of reading, bird watching and photography.
He can be found in London at least once a week frequenting book dealers or photography suppliers.
