Little is truly known about Captain Ash's background, though it is suspected that he served in the infantry during the Boer War towards the end of the 19th Century as a teenager, before becoming an officer and a Captain in the trenches of World War One.

While rowing out to the island, he encountered Sergeant Cortez, who had time travelled to that location and timeframe.

Lady Jayne/Jungle Queen?

Where exactly the Jungle Queen was in the Egypt level from TS1 is not known, but it is theorised that she took on a proper name and became a dignified lady, and that lady is Lady Jayne. This idea is backed up by the Jungle Queen's gesture "You Tarzan, me Jane, let me show you how we do it in the jungle".
