-'''[[Quin Blackburn]]''' was a geologist on the First and Second Byrd Expeditions and leader of the geologic party that explored the [[Transantarctic Mountains]].
+'''[[Baron of Bastanchury]]''' is a [[courtesy title]] held by the ruler of the Barony of Bastanchury. It was originally a subordinate title held by [[Grand Duke Travis]] when he was King of [[Colony of Calsahara|Calsahara]], however, he granted the title as a courtesy to Westarctica's new [[Minister of Information]] in March 2018 to recognize the latter's previous support of Calsahara. It is one of only two peerage titles in the [[Nobility of Calsahara]] that is not held by Grand Duke Travis.
-Blackburn served as a geologist and seaman—before—the mast on the [[Richard E. Byrd|First Byrd Expedition]] (1928-1930). During this expedition, Blackburn and 41 other explorers were forced to winter over in the Little America base due to their ship being stuck in the pack ice. Undoubtedly, Quin Blackburn's most lasting contribution to [[Antarctic]] exploration was as the leader of the Second Byrd Expedition's Geologic Party (1933-1935). During this expedition, he led a three-man team on a 1,500 mile trek across [[Marie Byrd Land]], investigating the geology of the [[Queen Maud Mountains]] while also sledging the length of the [[Scott Glacier]] onto the Polar Plateau.
+The Baron has been an extremely active member of the [[Royal Council]] and was responsible for designing Westarctica's first paper currency, the [[Ice mark]]. His Lordship was appointed to the position of [[Commissioner of the Treasury]] with responsibility for managing the [[Central Bank of Westarctica]] on behalf of the Crown, and [[Captain-General of Calsahara]]. His Lordship served as Minister of Information for just over a year from 2018 - 2019, when he was transferred to the post of [[Minister of Commerce]] to oversee [[Westarctica|Westarctica's]] retail product offerings.
