Mr. Carton de Wiart is probably one of the biggest mad lads to ever walk this Earth, which has cemented his place in pop history. He was born to an aristocratic family in Brussels, but one apocryphal tale says he was a dark prince, the illegitimate son of King Leopold II, a backstory which would make him a good 10% cooler, if it weren’t for all the slavery and genocide that Leopold did. Adrian grew up living the kind of privileged life most people in his day could only dream of: he studied at an elite British boarding school and went to Oxford University, the man had the opportunity to become anything he wanted and he chose to drop out and be a soldier. To each his own.
