Lord Albert Selachii - presumably father of Robert Selachii - was the head of his household in the court of Lord Winder during the events of Night Watch. He and Charles, (Lord) Venturi, cordially detested one another. Or at least, their families traditionally did. 'Lord Albert wasn't sure, now, what event in history had caused the rift, but it must have been important, obviously, otherwise it would be silly to go on like this'.

He is also Colonel of the family regiment, Lord Selachii's Light Infantry, which poses serious problems if it has to work closely with any regiment raised by the Venturi family. This is seen more clearly in Night Watch.

Annotation

Very impressively, on Roundworld "Selachian" means "of sharks" and a "Venturi" meter is to do with controlling the flow of jets. Sharks and Jets. Gettit? The warring factions in West Side Story, based on the Capulets and the Montagues of Romeo and Juliet. Very, very clever indeed.
