John D--- is the Eternal Champion!

[Oren]

The White Wolf's Son, page 101:

Only once had she told me anything concerning Elric of Melnibonأ©, whose adventures I drew largely from other sources, especially from Mr. John D---, that contemporary manifestation of the Eternal Champion, whom I knew best. Mr. D---, as I might have mentioned elsewhere, married a distant relative of mine and eventually settled in the North. It wasn't until a later occasion, when my wife and I spent a year or two in the English Lake District, that I had the pleasure of his company once more."

I bet it's not John Daker. Will John Davey be a good guess? :D
