Sylum Inspiration: Terry Thorne

Sanctuary: Hunter

 

Born Terrence Maxwell Thorne in 1962 AD, Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia, to sheep farmers John and Sheila Thorne. He worked his way through school, earning money on the ranch, before deciding the quit the land and join the army, wanting to see the rest of the world before it was too late and he got too old to experience it without being jaded.

Based in England for a while, he met Bridgette Taylor-Smythe, daughter of Brigadier General Taylor-Smythe, marrying her after a whirlwind romance on the discovery that she was pregnant, although Terry always suspected her desire to marry him was more out of rebellion against her father than in making sure their son was born in wedlock.

Henry Thorne was born in 1983 AD, but his parents soon divorced due to separation enforced by army life.

Pressure from his father-in-law forced Terry into leaving the life he best enjoyed before he could be caught up in a manufactured situation that would lead to a dishonorable discharge.

Seconded to the SAS on a mission to the Congo he had previously met Dean Devlin, the two men having saved each other’s asses several times over. They struck up a quick friendship that remained despite their cultural and military differences and after finding himself back as a civvie, he ran into Dino again working in K&R.

Terry approached him about going into business together after a disastrous mission that was made worse by their respective employers in London failing to fully appreciate the situations they were expected to handle on the ground.

On a social visit to Brazil, Terry was snatched, and later Turned Without Consent.

Ipod Day? So …

 

So a few months ago (felt like years ago) there was Ipod Day – where had Wade building playlists for Serenity members.

I’ve actually started a playlist on spotify (there’s not many songs – but will add one for Ben Wade).

Call out to everyone here – got any good songs that would represent characters from Serenity?  I’ll take suggestions and work up a Fanmix (Spring Fling is coming up)

Sylum Inspiration: Sundance Kid

Sanctuary: Legal Advisor

 

Longabaugh was born in Mont Clare, Pennsylvania in 1867, the son of Pennsylvania natives Josiah and Annie G. (née Place) Longabaugh. He was the youngest of five children (his older siblings were Ellwood, Samanna, Emma and Harvey). Longabaugh was of mostly English and German ancestry and was also part Welsh. At age 15, Longabaugh traveled westward on a covered wagon with his cousin George. In 1887, Longabaugh stole a gun, horse and saddle from a ranch in Sundance, Wyoming. While attempting to flee, he was captured by authorities and was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in jail by Judge William L. Maginnis. During this jail time, he adopted the nickname of the Sundance Kid. After his release, he went back to working as a ranch hand, and in 1891, as a 25-year-old, he worked at the Bar U Ranch in what is today Alberta, Canada, which was one of the largest commercial ranches of the time.

Longabaugh was suspected in 1892 in a train robbery, then again in 1897 in a bank robbery along with five other men. He became associated with a group known as the “Wild Bunch,” which included his famous partner Robert Leroy Parker, better known as Butch Cassidy.

Longabaugh likely met Butch Cassidy (real name Robert Leroy Parker) after Parker was released from prison around 1896. Together with the other members of “The Wild Bunch” gang, they performed the longest string of successful train and bank robberies in American history.

After pursuing a career in crime for several years in the United States, the pressures of being pursued, notably by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, forced Longabaugh, his girlfriend Etta Place, and Cassidy to abandon the United States. The trio fled first to Argentina and then to Bolivia, where Parker and Longabaugh were probably killed in a shootout in November 1908.

It was 1902 when Butch and Sundance ended up robbing a bank that happened to have Will and Sparrow inside. It went wrong from the moment they stepped into the building. In the end Sundance and Butch escaped with the two Vampires’ help, and ended up Turned.

No one was surprised they were Mates.

Floating Lantern Festival

There’s a lot of history with Floating Lantern Festivals, dating back to China during 200 BC.   Many cultures have traditions and histories with the Sky Lanterns from releasing ones worries to celebration of the water goddess and to honor family ancestors.  It usually takes place on the 15th day of Lunar New Year.

And for a Sylum Snippet – one requested way back by Kathie – Nathan and family (that still leaves 8 … how do I always have 8)
