The Colonel was always involved in exploration and missions to out-of-the-way places when he was in the army. Upon retiring from the army, he took up exploration as a full time job. Being independently wealthy helps with this. The family home, Gladiolus Towers, lies in the north of Scotland and it is here that he rests between adventures.

The Colonel has a nasty scar on his face, where a native spear thrust marred his otherwise rugged good looks. Otherwise, he is known for his physical skills rather than his mental ones. He often calls on his friends for expert knowledge when dealing with issues beyond his ken. Cordelia Baxendale, an archaeologist friend is one of these friends. The Colonel has long entertained feelings for her, but has never dared to express them to her. Other helpers include his ghillie, Geoff Grimes, a dour Yorkshireman, whose taciturn nature might well derive from a view that a man only has a certain number of words to spend in his life.
