Tanco Cook

"'I used to be a clothes designer, you know. But then all this army general crap starting coming my way, and now I'm known for being an explorer, same with my son. I could honestly care less about my family's future. They were an afterthought.' ""-Tanco Cook"Tanco James Cook was the lead explorer for the expedition into the continent of Yumba. He was commissioned by King Harrison Rorik V in 1493 to act as army general for the invasion of Yumba, a course which Tanco Cook had absolutely no idea the reason for.

He is famous in Hoft for this expedition, and has been made especially famous in recent years due to the fame of his children and his children's children. Gwedalier Cook, who was born in 1517, was the first man sent by the Hoft Board of Peace and Conquest to set foot on western Lont, and even begun his own sovereign state named after Tanco. Ontro Cook, Gwedalier's son who was born in 1542, explored the eastern and northern coasts of Lont, and essentially put Large Mouth on Fordsu's maps, establishing Fordford and all its regions within. Both Ontro, Gwedalier, and even Ontro's unsuccessful son George have referred to Tanco as inspirations of theirs.
