From Alizarin: "Most people now know him for his immortal baritone solo in "Naan, the
Musical," but I first met Charles under
very different circumstances, when he
was the first white man to infiltrate
the harems of Ottoman Istanbul. He did this through a daring combination of fluent Arabic, nerves of steel, and a
surprisingly misleading silk two-piece.
Opening the wrong door in the wrong
palace, I was ten seconds away from
causing an international incident when
he approached me, silently took my hand, and led me to a saferoom he called "The Oubliette." Four bottles of Glenlivet later, we were fast friends. Since then, we have mapped the Nile, summited Kilimanjaro, and dove in Barbados for Blackbeard's treasure. He's the man you want piloting your charter vessel; he can tell you if that painting is really a Rembrandt, he can argue your case at the Old Bailey, and he can fend off flesh-eating monkeys while you get the engine started."
