Commander Gretlando is the hapless ape-descended human man from Earth who found himself thrown upon wild adventures around the Universe. With Svaltard, his friend of several years, Gretlando barely escaped the Earth's destruction as it was demolished to make way for a hyperspace bypass. Gretlando spent the following several years, still wearing his dressing gown, helplessly launched from crisis to crisis while trying to straighten out his lifestyle. He rather enjoyed beer and other recreational drugs but seemed to have trouble obtaining it in the far reaches of the galaxy.
