Uncle Attleburgh

Uncle Ricardo Attleburgh is an eccentric millionaire who has spent his life building dinosaur attractions, including Cretaceous Compound, Triassic Park and Triassic Zoo.

History
As a young adult, Ricardo was a successful zoologist with a passion for dinosaurs. Through his work and contacts he had surmounted a large fortune and access to dinosaur breeding technology. He spent much of his life savings on the creation of a Triceratops he came to call Trikey.

With an interest in showmanship, Ricardo offered Trikey as an attraction at a local amusement park. Visitor numbers significantly increased as people flocked to see Trikey in the Cretaceous Compound and Ricardo was able to recoup a lot of money. However, a tragic event led to the closure of the amusement park. Ricardo invested more money into a new dedicated park for dinosaurs called Triassic Park, however after some years it too suffered closure after a storm led to several dinosaurs escaping.

In more recent times, Ricardo sold all his assets in one final bid to create a safer dinosaur theme park. He bought an island, Isla Fubar for 8.8m to realize his dream. Estranged from his wider family, Ricardo called upon Nicholas, who had shown interest in his work, to help run Triassic Zoo. A pending lawsuit meant Ricardo was likely to be away from the island for a long time and wanted to leave Triassic Zoo in the hands of a family member.
