Andrew Bulwer-Lytton is a son of the distinguished literary publishing family. After a fairly undistinguished term at Harrow, and the obligatory stint in the army (in his case the Royal Marines, serving in Hong Kong and Nepal), he took up a job in the family publishing business. After a couple of years in London, his experience in Asia led to him being given the head job of the Pacific Rim arm of the business, based in Hong Kong. Since it doesn't require a great deal of his time, he has been able to indulge his interests in asian art - both ancient and martial. He even met a charming girl, who he would have taken home to meet Mummy in an instant if Mummy wasn't so funny about asian ladies. And then one night she suddenly vanished! Andrew was devastated and the rumour that her disappearance had something to do with a certain crimelord led him to don a trilby and trench-coat and ask some pointed questions in the more squalid quarters of town. Although the number of tough-looking gentlemen making trips to hospital has suddenly reached unseasonable levels, he hasn't got any satisfactory answers yet. Still, he's going to find Zhou Zhing, if he has to ransack every grubby bar in Mongkok to do it. And when he finds her abductors, he's going to hurt them - badly. Unless Mummy was behind it, of course. He wouldn't put it past her - the old cow has contacts everywhere...
Andrew is instantly identifiable - tall, blonde, blue-eyed and english to the core. You know just looking at him that he says "I say" and "Rather" a lot, was on the first XV at school, and that his acquaintances describe him as "A decent sort". He believes strongly in doing right, treating the ladies with respect and defending the Empire. Still, he's been around enough to know that sometimes even a decent chap has to bloody his knuckles when it comes to serious business like the Great Game.
"Now look here, chaps, I'm sure we can be reasonable about this. I wouldn't want to have to put you all in hospital now, would I ?"
