His Lordship, the Viscount of Whitmore, Neil Whitmoyer is a childhood friend of Grand Duke Travis and has been a member of the Peerage of Westarctica since 15 November 2001, making him the longest-serving noble of Westarctica aside from the Grand Duke himself.

Prior to becoming a noble of Westarctica, His Lordship served as an Imperial Senator in the short-lived legislature of the Kingdom of Casbah.

Title

The name "Whitmore" comes from the Whitmore Mountains in southern Westarctica, very near to the South Pole, but is also extremely close to the Viscount's actual last name. From 2001 - 2004, when Westarctica was known as the Achaean Territory, Whitmoyer held the title "Duke of Whitmore." By virtue of his post as Royal Envoy, he also held the ceremonial title Marquis of Ohio, named for the Ohio Range.

In October 2004, all titles from the Achaean Territory were either abolished or reduced in precedence and the Duchy was lowered to a Viscountcy.

Involvement with Westarctica

During the early days of Westarctica, Viscount of Whitmore served as a close advisor and friend to the Grand Duke.

On 4 June 2010, the day after The Great Return, the successful overthrow of Grand Duke Jon-Lawrence, Travis McHenry threw a lavish birthday party in a large suite at Disneyland's Grand Californian Hotel. As the conclusion of the coup coincided with his 30th birthday, many of Travis' friends were present at the party, including the Viscount of Whitmore, who had been flown in from Pennsylvania to enjoy the festivities.
