A British member. The Basileus is from the north of England and thus a paradox in being an ultra Thatcherite Conservative (shock! horror!). Has got a great sense of humour and is currently famous for his good nature and for his TL "Isaac's Empire". You know, that steampunk Byzantine one.

The Basileus has also started work on three other timelines. One of these is on long term hiatus, and muses about a radical Protestant England under King Edward VI. For good measure, it also features an Ottoman invasion of Italy, and an earlier Spanish Armada. It will probably be returned to and revised in 2010 at some point. What has been done so far can be read [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=126427&highlight=kynge|here]]. | A [[Britain|British]] member.

The second "other timeline" is //Valens Invictus//, about an earlier period of East Roman history. The Emperor Valens wins at Adrianople, and the Roman Empire is spared some of the disasters that follow. To be read for Aryan ascendancy in Europe, a gay couple running Constantinople, and an Arthurian Britain. It can be read [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=144369|here]]. | ---- |

The third timeline is yet to be published, and is still very much in the planning stage. It will be a collaborative work with RogueBeaver, and will be about Margaret Thatcher, with a POD in the summer of 1990, and the title //Margin of Safety//. Thus far, this is all the Basileus dares to disclose. | ==== Works ==== |

| ==== Claims to Fame ==== |
| |
| BG doesn't like to brag, but he was the man who began the AH.com trend of creating "Core Threads", with his "[[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=153166|UK Election 2010 core thread!]]". A mark has thus been left on AH.com by BG, who also claims credit for coming up with the term "Rhomanian" as an alternative to "Byzantine". |
