Clive Cecil Colville was a 19th century British general who served in the Ottoman army from a young age, and infamously carried a scimitar. He was the father of Reginald Colevile.
He served as commander-in-chief of the Gendarmerie of Eastern Rumelia, where he was not a popular figure amongst the local Bulgars, culminating in the burning down of a village in the Bellova Forest. In the 1880s, a revolution forced his return to London. Seven years later, he died as part of the Far-Off Travellers suicide club, and was buried in Highgate Cemetery.
His son later dug Clive up and had posed as him while killing members of the Far-Off Travellers Club for taking away his father's estate, which he was supposed to inherit. (AUDIO: The Bellova Devil)
