His Lordship, the '''Baron of Eburhard''', '''Douglas Swank''', is a [[baron]] in the [[Peerage of Westarctica]]. Due to his status as an early supporter of [[Westarctica]], he bears the honorific "[[Old Guard]]." The baron publicly identifies as a member of the [[LGBT rights in Westarctica|LGBT community]] and is a fierce champion of human rights.

==Biography==
Douglas Swank, (''alternately spelled "Dug"'') was born in Pennsylvania on 6 May 1965. After graduating from high school in 1983, he studied religion and theater arts at Gettysburg College before pursuing a Master of Divinity degree from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in 1987.

He describes himself as: "A prodigal sybarite, neo-pessimist philosopher, high-functioning sociopath. consulting detective, paradigm subversive, and parasite by choice."

==As a peer of Westarctica==
On 26 April 2005, Douglas was granted the title Baron of Eburhard by [[Grand Duke Travis]]. The title was one he requested and has no direct connection with the geography of [[Marie Byrd Land]]. The word ''eburhard'' is of Germanic origin and when used as a given name, is taken to mean: "One who is strong as a wild boar."

The area of land that was designated as the Eburhard Barony encompasses part of [[Lind Ridge]] in the [[Ames Range]].

After becoming a Westarctican peer, the baron had little involvement with national politics and was considered a valued, but mostly inactive member of the [[Baronage]].
