the Stoker body comp[osition.

History:
(Feud#1 (fb) - BTS) - Throckmorton is native to a
world populated
by a number of animal-men who each served a purpose on their world but
who also caused problems for each other that caused animosity amongst
the different species (see comments).
Minister of Defense to the Stokers, Throckmorton secretly had an affair with Euphonia of the Skids, who was secretly reporting back to her queen, Jean Freenbean.
(Feud#3 (fb) - BTS) - Throckmorton supervised the
construction of the boat for the Chief Wrench.
(Feud#1 (fb) - BTS) - Throckmorton
sent his leader, Ron, five memos noting that engineering was not doing
its job.
(Feud#1 - BTS) - Seeking to start a war between the Skids and the Stokers, the Kites abducted the tadpole form of Hermione Desdemona Hortense Unguash IV, the heir to the Skid throne.
In response, the Skids created a
massive wave, which flooded the Stokers' castle, which drained into the
land of the Dust Devils, flooding and enraging them, as well.
(Feud#1) - In the throes of passion,
Throckmorton and Euphonia
(whom he called his "slippery little water lily"), they initially
assumed the tremors they felt were the earth moving for them. Further
explosions, as the Stokers fought back, clarified the matter, and
Throckmorton rushed off to ask his leader, Ron, "what the cess" was
going on. As he fired at the invading Skids with his pistol,
Throckmorton reported that he had been in sub-basement G-19 and had
found evidence of sabotage (presumably by Euphonia), with the east
tower's supports having been
cut nearly in half. He further noted that they would have to replace
them if the wave didn't knock them over. Ron asked him what he was
doing inspecting the foundation, as that was engineering's job.
Throckmorton reminded Ron that he had sent him five memos about
engineering not doing its job. Having not seen the memos, Ron told
Throckmorton to cover him as he headed toward engineering. 
(Feud#1 - BTS) - Euphonia
reported to Queen Jean that her surveillance indicated that the Stokers
had not been the ones to kidnap Hermione.
(Feud#2 - BTS) - The pilot of the Skystoker One contacted Throckmorton as they approached the Kite castle, but he was shot down and devoured by the Kites.
Stoker oracle Chester was subsequently captured by the Dust Devils, who sought vengeance for having been flooded by the Stokers.
(Feud#2) - Seeing Dust Devils
in proximity to the Stoker Castle (but unaware that they had Chester),
Throckmorton considered that they were likely rooting around in the
garbage for food. Chief Wrench subsequently summoned Throckmorton to
the Great Hall and told him that they had a security leak. When
Throckmorton replied that he though Total Quality Integrated Management
was supposed to take care of that, the Chief Wrench noted he had
disbanded TQIM and replaced them with Synergistic Cross-Indexed
Total Management Control. As Throckmorton had missed that memo, the
Chief Wrench told him to find the spy and prepare a white paper on how
security leaks have impacted security. Throckmorton countered that his
time would be better spent bolstering their defenses, as another wave
would finish them, but the Chief Wrench insisted that the Skids were
too exhausted to launch a second wave and that he wanted that report on
his desk in 48 hours.
The Head Wrench suggested he
personally meet with the Skids' Queen Jean and then instructed
Throckmorton to find the spy, whom he believed to a Stoker that was
having sex with a Skid (although he apparently had no idea that
Throckmorton was having an affair with Euphonia). Realizing that he was
at risk for discovery and being killed as a result, Throckmorton
decided to kill Euphonia and tell the chief he caught her sneaking
around. However, when he approached her, he was overwhelmed by her
voice and her scent, and he could not resist romancing her; he
considered that he would kill her later. 
(Feud#2 - BTS) - Meanwhile, the Kites forged an alliance with the Grunts against the Stokers, while the young Hermione escaped her containment and traveled through the Kites' water systems, ambushing and picking them off.
Additionally, while meeting with the Skid Queen Jean, the Chief Wrench was overcome by predatory instincts and he slew and partially devoured her.
(Feud#3 - BTS) - Realizing the Skids would discover his action, the Chief Wrench sent a bird to relay his warning.
(Feud#3) - Interrupted from his coitus with Euphonia,
Throckmorton interpreted the garbled message to mean the talks with the
Skids had gone poorly. He again considered killing Euphonia and then
eating the body, but she had already fled, opening up some valves in
the Stoker castle to allow Skid forces to enter undetected.
(Feud#3 - BTS) - Chester convinced the Dust Devils to
rescue Hermione to ingratiate themselves with the Skids, which they did.
(Feud#3) - Throckmorton was notified of an approaching craft, and he took over command, but he could only watch as the Chief Wrench was taken by a kraken, after which Skids overran the castle, and Throckmorton led the Stoker troops to flee in tanks...which were soon attacked from above by the Kites.
(Feud#4) - Allied with the Kites, the Grunts attacked the Stokers with catapults. When the Kites began to fly in bombs, Throckmorton ordered the Stoker tanks to link up into a giant robotic form of his own design/construction. However, this plan failed miserably when the the robot used its large bat to swing at an approaching Kite bomb, the explosion of which tore the robot in half, leaving the Stokers without a robot or tanks. Throckmorton was blamed for the failure, leading the other Stokers to lose faith in him.
(Feud#4 - BTS) - Meanwhile, Chester and Hermione led the
Dust Devils toward peace with the Stokers and Skids.
(Feud#4) - Although Euphonia
followed Duke Smoot's orders to blow the Stoker castle, Chester and
Hermione convinced the Kites, Stokers and others that they all needed
each other and had to work together; Throckmorton helped translate
Chester's words due to Chester's lisp.
As the forces gathered to rebuild
the Stoker Castle, Throckmorton attempted to take over, naming himself
Command in Chief, Hermione, royal heir to the Skids, assured him that
the Skids would only deal withChester. Having lost the support of the
other Stokers, Throckmorton did not argue further.
(Feud#4 - BTS) - After Stoker Castle had been completed, a
race of apparent cat-men plotted to take it over...

I have to think that Mike
Baron was familiar with the Throckmorton sign when he named this guy.
You can look it up if you want to...it's a somewhat humorous medical
term referring to predicting the side of pelvic or limb trauma.
This world seemed more like an
alien realm than an alternate Earth...it could actually be an
extraterrestrial world in Earth-616's universe. I don't think we have
enough information to clarify which it is, but, regardless, I am not
giving it an alternate Earth designation.
