Fictional Character Biography
Captain Euro (real name Adam Andros) is the son of "a famous European Ambassador", a professor of palaeontology and a polyglot. After a motor accident one of his knees was replaced with a metal alloy joint, but he is otherwise "in peak physical condition".
He runs the Twelve Stars Organisation, a group which seeks to "defend the security of Europe and uphold the values of the Union".
His team-mates include his sidekick Europa (real name Donna Eden), an environmentalist and archaeologist, and assistants Erik, Helen, Marcus, Lupo the dog and the computer system Pythagoras I.
The website claims that "they are the new ambassadors of global peace bearing the European message with them wherever they go." They also apparently represent Europe at sporting events, "competing in a number of championships and triumphing in the name of Europe."
The major foe of the organisation is Dr. D. Vider (full name: David Viderius), a "ruthless speculator" and "former financier" who hopes to divide the European Union so that he can more easily conquer it.

Famous quotes containing the words fictional, character and/or biography:
“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)
“Consider the difference between looking and staring. A look is voluntary; it is also mobile, rising and falling in intensity as its foci of interest are taken up and then exhausted. A stare has, essentially, the character of a compulsion; it is steady, unmodulated, “fixed.””
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
