Introduction

"Something fundamental in the relationship between time and Mycroft Ward changed."

Who He Is: Mycroft Ward

A former military man and 'last of the gentleman scientists.' The tale of Mycroft Ward is the centrepiece of Scout's aptly titled "The Story of Mycroft Ward." He lived toward the end of the 19th century and became a hero during the Battle of Balaclava (October 25, 1854) during the Crimean War (fought between Imperial Russia and France, the U.K., the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Ottoman empire).

Surely a play on Microsoft Word?

It is also interesting to note the unusual nested reference the name is to the aforementioned hospital stay. The little known brother of Sherlock Holmes was named Mycroft, and a Ward refers to a hospital. As the only thing in the Hospital's library was books of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and among those were the hated Sherlock Holmes books, it doesn't seem too unlikely a stretch that the evil villian related to brain cancer motifs was indeed a reference back to that original hospital visit. A bad memory eating it's way back to prominence.
