A member of Clan Grant, supporters of the Act of Union with England, the duke has a son, William, whose heart leans towards the Jacobite cause, and a daughter, Amelia, betrothed to an English lord she has never met.

Philippe Aymond, as both an artist and a colourist, has worked with some of the greatest scriptwriters of contemporary Franco-Belgian comics, including creator of Valerian & Laureline Pierre Christin and the legendary Jean Van Hamme, with who he co-signed spy series Lady S., translated by Cinebook.
