Alistair Conall Hamish Lethbridge-Stewart

Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart was a member of the Lethbridge-Stewart family and the paternal grandfather of his namesake Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart. During World War I, he worked British Intelligence in Russia but was forced to return to the United Kingdom in the aftermath of the Russian Revolution of 1917. One of his colleagues was Bertie Stopford, the then British ambassador to Russia. (PROSE: The Wages of Sin)

He became a grandfather upon the younger Alistair's birth in India in 1930. (PROSE: Blood Heat, PROSE: Island of Death)

Lethbridge-Stewart frequently pressurised his grandson into following his footsteps and joining the British military. For Christmas 1938, he gave Alistair a box of toy soldiers and then asked him, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" (COMIC: The Warkeeper's Crown)
