Certainly does look interesting. Could have been one of the first to see the global possibilities, that if the Queen really saw spirits and had visions, maybe some of the other supernatural beliefs in the world were true. He could have maintained contact with Colonial Office chaps and locals in Kenya; people who lived in a culture where belief in ancestor spirits, witch doctors and suchlike were not ancient relics but daily life. Cast him as a leading force for making the Shadow Court not only a British thing, but a Commonwealth one.
