His Lordship, the Baron of Eburhard 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 community and is a fierce champion of human rights.

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.
