Léon Humblot
Léon Humblot was a French naturalist and adventurer who went to Grande Comore in 1884 to collect plants. He backed Said Ali of Bambao as sultan of the whole island, and in 1886 obtained both a French protectorate and a concession over much of the island's land. He served for years as French resident and ran large plantations of vanilla and other crops.
