Notes
- Astoria’s father went unnamed for almost 40 years, until his given name was revealed to be "Desmond" in Destro #4. Unlike his daughter, he does not appear to be named after any notable hotels.
- Desmond's surname, however, is so far unconfirmed. We've put his page here at Desmond Carlton-Ritz for parity with Astoria, but it's possible he only goes by one half of her double-barrelled surname.
