Senior

In case you didn't notice, he has one given name for every letter of the alphabet plus his surname. Needless to say, he shortened it, and was commonly known as Mr. Hubert Wolfe, though officially it was said that he signed his name Hubert Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, Sr.

im lucky i don't have that long name im lazy in writing though
^ Lol, it'd be interesting to see what a medal with his name on it would look like :P
