Juan Cabrillo (Fictional)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juan Cabrillo is the main character in Clive Cussler's Oregon Files, a series of books based on 'the Oregon', a state-of-the-art vessel disguised as a rusting heap of junk. Cabrillo is the Chairman of the Corporation, and is in charge of the ship and its crew. He is a tall man in his forties, handsome, with pixie-blue eyes, trimmed blond hair and a moustache. During a battle in Flood Tide, he lost a leg and has had it replaced with a high-tech prosthetic with little sign of injury. He was once married, but his wife died while driving drunk, which makes him less of a lady's man than Cussler's other heroes, Dirk Pitt and Kurt Austin.
