Clive Colville

Colevile was the name of a man who was a Turkish soldier. His son was Reginald Colevile. He always carried a scimitar around with him. When he was supposed to be dead, he suddenly came back to life. This was because his son had dug him out and had posed as him while killing members of The Far-Off Travellers club for taking away his father's estate, which he was supposed to inherit.
