I suppose a nom de guerre of Dirk Winston does conjure a different image than perhaps Senor Vicente Aranga y Zapata de Obregon.

I once saw a pasty white guy with freckles and red hair cutting meat in a Mexican meat market, and he didn't speak a bit of English.

I wonder what his last name was? Lots of Normans went to Spain once upon a time, but it's probably Spanish.

I believe Cortes' lunatic sidekick Alvarado had red hair.
