Geocache Description:


My thanks to parmstro for talking with the National Trust to obtain permission to place this cache, my thanks also to the National Trust for allowing placement.

GEOCACHING ON NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTY IS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Who am I?

Person X, who was not born in England nor died here, is visited at home by a law professional who has travelled through many countries to discuss a property transaction. The legal man has an incident with 3 sisters.  At this time X travels to England, via Bulgaria, with the assistance of a Greek Goddess - although they may be far from home but they always yearns to be near their native soil.  Whilst in England X encounters the fiancee of the law professional and also her friend.  X uses their skills as a master of disguise to pursue the friend and ultimately converts her to their way of life. The lady then falls ill and dies at the hands of X.  A professor, a doctor, a cowboy, a future Lord and a teacher join forces with the legal man to track down X and bring them to justice.  Hypnosis and religion help the group track down X and they start to capture a number of boxes that X had transported here.  Upon capturing the penultimate box they realise that X has fled for home, with the help of Romani people, with the final box.  X is headed off during the journey and after a short battle is fatally stabbed.

 

Now you should have enough information to identify Person X and in turn a sequence of numbers. 

This sequence is infinite but we are interested in the first 7 terms - each of which has 4 digits, they are the only numbers in the sequence with 4 digits.

Call these digits:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ&%

(& and % have been used as I needed 28 terms, there is no significance to those characters).
