    		Well, if "Chrononhotonthologos," written by Henry Carey in 1734, isn't the one, it should be. As for the character with an even longer name, I'm not so sure about that, but there is a "General Bombardinmion":

    		And I believe that character was 'Aldiborontiphoscophornio'.

    		Yay, both of you. It was indeed "The most tragical tragedy ever tragedised by a group of tragedians".
