Horace Winterton, in a family legend, was a dragon tamer at the Wyoming Menagerie. One day, he woke up from amnesia in the woods near Xanadu, with no memory of anything. He had his clothes and a photo of himself by a dragon caves and the stream in the Menagerie, but never remembered his past. He married a weresparrow[2], and had children, who, generations later, had the Jimenez's. He had worked with the Kahns at the Wyoming Menagerie as a dragon tamer, but disappeared.[3] According to Mrs. Jimenez and Zoe Kahn, it is possible Horace was dosed by a jealous dragon.[4]
