Abstract: Let $Sp(2,1)$ be the isometry group of the quaternionic hyperbolic plane $$. An element $g$ in $Sp(2,1)$ is `hyperbolic' if it fixes exactly two points on the boundary of $$. We classify pairs of hyperbolic elements in $Sp(2,1)$ up to conjugation. A hyperbolic element of $Sp(2,1)$ is called `loxodromic' if it has no real eigenvalue. We show that the set of $Sp(2,1)$ conjugation orbits of irreducible loxodromic pairs is a $(mathbbC{mathbbP}^1{)}^4$-bundle over a topological space that is locally a semi-analytic subspace of ${mathbbR}^{13}$. We use the above classification to show that conjugation orbits of `geometric' representations of a closed surface group (of genus $ggeq2$) into $Sp(2,1)$ can be determined by a system of $42g-42$ real parameters. Further, we consider the groups $Sp(1,1)$ and $GL(2,mathbbH)$. These groups also act by the orientation-preserving isometries of the four and five dimensional real hyperbolic spaces respectively. We classify conjugation orbits of pairs of hyperbolic elements in these groups. These classifications determine conjugation orbits of `geometric' surface group representations into these groups.
