Wait. quadrillion-qilian => u dr l o

Let us assume that "those who remain" must "tear apart those who are close", so that a permutation is needed and only permutations in which D and R are apart with at least one of the remaining letters between them are valid. Well, I just made a list of all of them and here's the only one that makes any sense. In fact, it's the only sequence beside "Lord U" that seems to make any sense.

RUDOL => Rudolf.

What does his name sound when written out as romaji, again?
