Larens Zilwicki, nicknamed Lars, was a Manticoran citizen and the sole natural relative of Queen Berry of Torch.
Biography[]
Lars was born around 1902 PD [1] on Earth. He and his older sister Berry managed to survive in the undergrounds of Chicago, until Helen Zilwicki found them and they were adopted and brought to Manticore by Helen's father, Anton. (HHA3.3: FtH)
As of 1919 PD, it was not known what official standing Lars had in the order of precedence of the Kingdom of Torch.[2] He began studies at the New University of Landing that year.[3]
