-His Lordship, the '''[[Viscount of Whitmore]]''', '''Neil Whitmoyer''' is a childhood friend of [[Grand Duke Travis]] and has been a member of [[Westarctica]]'s [[Hereditary Nobility of Westarctica|Hereditary Nobility]] since 15 November 2001, making him the oldest noble of Westarctica aside from the Grand Duke himself.
+'''[[Paul A. Siple|Paul Allman Siple]]''' was an American [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] explorer and geographer who took part in six Antarctic expeditions, including the two [[Richard Byrd|Byrd]] expeditions of 1928–1930 and 1933–1935, representing the Boy Scouts of America as an Eagle Scout. In addition to being an Eagle Scout, Siple was also a Sea Scout. His first and third books covered these adventures. With Charles F. Passel he developed the wind chill factor, and Siple coined the term.
-Prior to becoming a noble of Westarctica, His Lordship served as an Imperial Senator in the short-lived legislature of the [[Kingdom of Casbah]].
+Siple was involved with the United States Antarctic Service Expedition of 1939–1941, which would have been the third Byrd expedition. He served during Operation Highjump, (also known as the [[United States Navy]] Antarctic Developments Program 1946–1947), developed cold weather gear for the Korean War, and Operation Deep Freeze I in 1955–1956. He was the inaugural scientific leader at the U.S. Amundsen–Scott [[South Pole]] Station 1956–1957, during the International Geophysical Year. This activity is covered in his fourth book, ''90 Degrees South''.
-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 of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]], Neil held the title "Duke of Whitmore." In October 2004, all titles from the Achaean Territory were either abolished or reduced in precedence and the Duchy was lowered to a Viscounty.
