    Midway through Chapter 4 of Ryk Spoor's _Grand Central Arena_, Ariane addresses DuQuesne as "Marc Cassius DuQuesne". Now, I've read the
    Skylark series *many* times, and don't recall ever seeing him given
    anything more than a middle initial.

    Did Wasp have a canonical source for this middle name, or is it his
    own invention?

    That was in chapter 4 of _Spheres of Influence_, though somebody did
    refer to Marc as Marc Cassius DuQuesne in _Grand Central Arena_. I have
    a vague recollection that this question was asked back when the book was originally published, let's see if it was on Baen's Bar and if I can
    find it (Google Groups is hopeless) ... sorry, couldn't find anything.
