Rules

1. Only yes/no objective questions may be asked.
2. If the answer is unclear, question master must clarify why.
3. One guess per person does not count against the total, but additional guesses by the same person do. After all 20 questions are up, three total guesses are allowed regardless of whether guesser has previously guessed.
4. Please choose persons real or fictional that are not horribly obscure. No repeats.
5. Whoever guesses correctly takes over from the previous question master. If they do not want to do it, they may choose who to pass the duty onto or just give it to the first volunteer.
6. If the question master remains undefeated three times in a row, on the third time they must either pass it to a person of their choice, or the first volunteer takes over.

WARNING
For variety's sake, we're gonna do things a little different this time... the "person" I have chosen for this round is actually a pair of people whom are so closely linked that it would be a disservice to split them up.

Let the game begin!

[Octavious]

It is said that Diocletian – the Roman Emperor – had thirty-three wicked daughters. He managed to find thirty-three husbands to curb their unruly ways, but the daughters were not pleased and under the leadership of their eldest sister Alba they plotted to cut the throats of their husbands as they slept.

For this crime they were set adrift in a boat with half a year’s rations, and after a long and dreadful journey they arrived at a great island that came to be named Albion, after the eldest. Here they stayed, and with the assistance of demons they populated the the wild, windswept islands with a race of giants.

The last of the giants, Gog and Magog, are the guardians of London to this day.

So, all that said...

... is it Tweedledum and Tweedledee?

Nope... but I had not heard this legend before and it makes the name of "Albia" as the Queen of England in the web comic Girl Genius make a lot of sense.

(it's one of my favorite web comics - definitely worth reading IMHO)
