Orlean Wolvencroft

Orlean Wolvencraft was a businessman and owner of the Eagle Museum on the Moon.

Biography
A collector of early space hardware, Wolvencroft monitored Bantu Industries' secret memos and learnt of Eagle 11-32; wanting to use the Eagle robots, he contacted Bernice Summerfield and paid her to search for the probe in order to find the planet that it had landed on.

Following the monitoring device, Wolvencroft went to Planet 81 with Mason and a bodyguard and refused to believe Benny's claims that the robots would destroy the ecology of any planet that they were taken to, saying that they could be reprogrammed and domesticated. He promised to pay off the hunters and attempted to tow Makins' ship out of the system with the robots inside, but the robots hacked his ship and forced it to return to the ground.

Wolvencroft was left stranded with Daniels and the hunters, the gravity shockwaves caused by the ship's hyperdrives meant that no rescue ship would enter the system for a decade. In the meantime, they would have to adapt and survive just as the robots had. (PROSE: The Big Hunt)
