Must confess to not recognising the name so had to google it.

Hakeswill from the Sharpe series, for those who, like me, need a prompt.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000592/

Saw this a couple of minutes ago and the first place I headed was here .. does that mean OOF has a sort of morbid fascination with death?

Anyway.. a sad loss and arguably far too early at 64 :(
