Danger Mouse: There is no official profile on D.M. there are one or two memos relating to his activities but even these are written with invisible ink and, if they are ever typed up, it is done by a blindfolded typist in a blacked-out dustbin who types on invisible paper with a keyless typewriter.

Any references to our hero, can only be drawn from the unofficial biography by Gerbil de Gook: Danger Mouse's father is thought to have been of noble birth, considerable girth and little worth - though, as an amateur inventor, he is credited with devising the Cheadle Hulme portable tennis elbow (still obtainable from some of the more provincial retail outlets of Her Majesty's stationery office). On his mother's side - and not many people were - his ancestors were all leaders of men except for the Black Sheep of the Family who was a sanitary engineer.

In September that year, young Danger Mouse started at Eton after which he went on to Cambridge, Oxford, Havard, the Sorbonne and W�rtembery picking up his B.A., B.Sc., M.A., M.Sc., and Ph.D. He became a double black belt in Judo, Tennis Champion of the World and was awarded his Firelighting Badge. Then, in October, he was approached by a certain Colonel K.

Penfold: Only son of Arthur Wigglesworth Penfold and Bronwen Merionedd Ysptty Ystwyth Penfold (n�e O'Herlihy). Born in Osbaldestone Bottoms, Lancashire. Penfold moved to Plumstead, S.E. London, when 7 months old. One of a long line of family of HAMSTERUS COWARDISSIMUS TERRIFICATUS - recognizable by the broad yellow stripe down the center of the back.

Distantly related to the Dutch hamster who reported a burst dam when his garden spade hit a water pipe. This caused a panic evacuation of the city - traffic came to a total standstill causing the original hamster jam.

Educated at short notice and Whipsnade. Always of nervous disposition, took correspondence course in `How to Overcome Fear' but failed to complete because too scared to go out and post papers.

Colonel K.: He was born in Malaysia. His father was Quentin Ascot Shoetree Knight-Knight Sleepwell. His mother was Lady Amaryllis Hippeastrum Forfar-Fife. His education consists of Two Scout badges (Sleeping and Macram�), C.S.E. Plasticine work, B.A., M.A., M.Sc., Ph.D., University of East Dukinfield. He graduated from the Plumpton Worswick Academy of Sheep-Spotting.

In 1934/35 K taught Chemistry at Old Dripping-on-Toast Grammar School in Gloucestershire. The school burned down Spring 1935. In 1935/36 K taught Physics at Swottencram Academy in Glen Sprocket, Aberdeenshire. The staff and students were electrocuted in March of 1936. In 1936/37 K taught Rugby, Brewing and Needlework at Plas Twryffparys Secondary School in Glamorganshire. In 1937/39 K worked on various independant activities of scientific nature, for example: fiduciary interchange friction igniting devices at Waterloo Station. In 1939 K enrolled in Intelligence Corps. In 1946 K was Head Controller of Intelligence. He was relieved of overall responsibility - as too many overalls came back half size and missing buttons.
