LXG -ORLANDO - REIMAGINED

Orlando is one of the most fascinating and complex figures in Alan Moore’s The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, serving as the ultimate witness to human history.

Originally inspired by V Woolf’s protagonist (and the legendary paladin of Charlemagne), Orlando is an immortal warrior who has lived for over three thousand years.

Their (they are) most striking trait is a fluid, spontaneous biological gender change that occurs periodically throughout their life, allowing them to experience the world as both a man and a woman across different eras.

Whether they are fighting in the Trojan War, carousing in the Elizabethan age, or serving in the 20th-century League, Orlando remains a cynical, world-weary soldier who has seen every empire rise and fall.
