BARON VON DING DONG
Raised by apes following the infamous Zeppelin crash in the jungles of Borneo, Leopold van Dingdong, scion of Hungarian Dingdong dynasty, made his fortune in the revolutionary circus of Mexico.
After squandering his fortune on opium addiction and bad women, he fled to Europe. No one actually knows how he became a multi-media commercial director.
In spite of his aristocratic background, Baron van Ding Dong remained a man of simple tastes. It is only when bananas are served that he gets melancholic about the lost love of his youth, cruelly robbed of life by a Malaysian poacher.
