Lenton

## Biography

Lenton, an older man with sparse grey hair and a somewhat brusque manner, was Obversaria's captain for forty years. By 1805, when Temeraire and Laurence joined the Aerial Corps, he held the post of commander-in-chief of the Channel Division and Admiral at the Dover covert.

Lenton had little patience with "groundlings" who, if they managed to get it through their heads at all that dragons were not brute beasts, then expected instead that dragons would behave just like humans and follow military discipline.

Despite his brusque manner, Lenton appeared to care deeply for the dragons and officers under his command - even if he sometimes treated the latter as if they were the former. For example, after Lily's formation was attacked by the French while on patrol - an attack in which Lily was seriously injured and Maximus, Messoria and Immortalis painfully so - Lenton found the formation's captains in the senior officers' dining room and greeted them with, "Here you all are, then; eating, I hope?" Since injured dragons generally eat hungrily unless, like Lily, injured quite seriously, Lenton's greeting sounds as if he was using the same measure to the gauge the captains' well-being.

When the Admiralty ordered Temeraire and Laurence separated to meet the demands of the Chinese embassy led by Prince Yongxing - an order which Temeraire flagrantly violated - Lenton was sympathetic towards them, remarking to Laurence that the situation had been brutally handled and that he himself would have run mad a good deal sooner.

On the other hand, when Levitas was dying and Laurence found his captain, Rankin, sitting in the officers' club drinking wine with Lenton and a couple of scout captains, Lenton chose to allow Laurence to physically drag Rankin out of the room after Laurence informed them all of Levitas' state. Afterwards, he accepted Laurence's recommendation of Hollin as captain for a Winchester about to hatch in Chatham rather than see the hatchling go to Rankin.

Obversaria died with much suffering in the dragon plague in 1806. By the end, she did not even know Lenton, who had taken her out of the shell with his own hands. Afterwards, Lenton's health rapidly declined. Jane Roland told Laurence that he held on admirably for three weeks after Observaria's death but then was found on the floor of his quarters in an apoplexy (stroke). He could not speak properly and was reassigned to the quieter post at the Edinburgh covert. Roland was made Admiral at Dover in his stead.

Todd Quayle

## Biography

### Early Years

Todd was raised in the New York enclave. His parents are-high ranking in the enclave.

### A Deadly Education

Near the end of his senior year Todd poached a room from Mika, another senior who had no friends or alliance. His room was next to a staircase, which El described as being equivalent to the first item on the food line. Powerful mals working their way into the school would frequently go by his room.

When Orion confronted Todd in the cafeteria, he justified pushing Mika into the void to steal his room because of the increased maleficaria activity; specifically because a maw-mouth went by his room. After he dumped Orion's food tray on his head, he blamed Orion for the increased maleficaria activity and by extension, his decision to poach Mika's room. El chewed him out for blaming Orion

Though his alliance--which included the Valedictorian Clarita Acevedo-Cruz--originally dumped him after he poached, they later took him back.

## Biography

### Early Years

He was one of the three Celestials sired by Lung Tien Fai, and the first of his generation sired by another Celestial (since Fai's parents were both Imperials). According to Qian, Ming had never sired an egg, although it's unclear if it was due to lack of interest or infertility.

### 1805 - 1806

From *Throne of Jade*

Ming was mentioned by Qian when Temeraire was introduced to his mother, listing him as one of the few Celestials still alive.

## Family Tree

The name translates as "golden honor," referring to the coloration of the dragons--Striped red and blue on gold.

The Honneur-d'Or was one of three parent strands used in the breeding of the Longwing. The other two were the British Sharpspitter and the Russian Ironwing. The Honneur-d'Or's size was the key reason for its use in this breeding program.

## Biography

He is the secretary of the british ambassador in Istanbul. After Arbuthnot died, Yarmouth vanished together with 500,000 pounds that were to buy the Kazilik-egg. He was supposed to have stolen the gold and have caused that the Turkish don't give away the eggs. But neither the British nor the Turkish could prove that he was a traitor because the money was spent to buy guns. Yarmouth and his family supported the Sultan's reforms and the modernization of the janicharic corps. His cousin married a sister of the Sultan. His brother led a part of the turkish army and Yarmouth was going to marry. What happened to him after he vanished isn't clear but sure he was murdered too.

Turkestan

Traditional clothing

Central Asia, 1800 - 1830

## History

The history of Turkestan dates back to at least the third millennium BC. Many artifacts were produced in that period, with much trade being conducted. The region was a focal point for cultural diffusion, as the Silk Road traversed it.

Known as Turan to the Persians, western Turkestan has also been known historically as Sogdiana, "Ma wara'u'n-nahr" (by its Arab conquerors), and Transoxiana by Western travelers. The latter two names refer to its position beyond the River Oxus when approached from the south, emphasizing Turkestan's long-standing relationship with Iran, the Persian Empires, and the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates.

Turkic sagas, such as the *Ergenekon* legend, and written sources, such as the *Orkhon Inscriptions*, state that Turkic peoples originated in the nearby Altai Mountains, and, through nomadic settlement, started their long journey westwards.

## Overview

Turkestan is an area of central Asia that spans several countries, corresponding to the regions of Transoxiana and Xinjiang. The foothills of the Himalayas and the Pamir mountains are contained within this region. The name Turkestan means people that are neither Chinese or Arab.

Arkady and his band of wild dragons live in the Pamir mountains with a few members from the low-lands who speak a slightly different dialect. Some border areas of Turkestan are influenced by China’s method of living with dragons so the dragons live with and around the humans without any problems.

The dragons generally wear woven blankets with some of them wearing harnesses to transport goods.
Their language is a bit more sing-song with influences of the Dragons natural language and the local dialects. Generally the dragons in this region are socialable and attend to their prayers.

Rebecca Challoner

## Family

Brother: Dilly Challoner

Joins Temeraire's crew as one of the Lieutenants, who is impressed with neat appearance.

During the last great battle against the French, Temeraire and his crew successfully boarded a large female Copacati who had tried to attack them, and Lt. Challoner led the boarding party. When the Celestial told Rebecca to be careful and threatened the Copacati so she would be careful with the human, the Incan dragon questioned why then was he sending her to another dragon through the air, after which she added that if she liked Rebecca, she might keep her, which angered Temeraire.

After the battles were over, the Copacati did not want to give Rebecca back, so she agreed to join the British Aerial Corps to allow Lt. Challoner to stay with her. Since that would mean that Rebecca would be promoted to captain, Laurence told Temeraire to allow it, since it would benefit the young woman's career. The Copacati, following Incan tradition, gave Temeraire a beautiful dragon sized gold necklace with large emeralds set in it in exchange for Challoner.

Heytham Abbey

Concept

**Heytham Abbey** is a manor house in Weymouth, that serves as the seat of the Baron of Seymour. Built by a crusader, which dates its construction to somewhere between the late eleventh and thirteenth centuries.

The Ferris Family was granted Heytham Abbey by King Charles II (meaning the family line it was originally granted to must have expired), and they continued to live there as late as the early nineteenth century.

## Real World

### Heytham Abbey and The Barons of Seymour

Heytham Abbey, and the Ferris family that inhabit it, are both fictional elements. However, the title of "Lord Seymour" was in use at the time by the Dukes of Somerset, whose family name was Seymour. It could be that in the Temeraire universe, the Ferris family became the Lords of Seymour instead of the Dukes, but since their seat is not in Somerset, but in the neighbouring Weymouth, it is more likely that they are a branch of the Seymour family (since no town in Britain exists with the name Seymour, it must have been named after the family) that received the title of "Barons of Seymour", while the existing Seymour family used a different title, such as Lord Somerset, to distinguish the two families.

The fact that the building is titled "Abbey" suggests that it was once a church, which would mean that it was sold and converted into a manor house following Henry VIII's "Dissolution of the Monasteries" during 1536-1541

Levitas

Levitas' death. (c) Anke Eissmann

Levitas (Latin for 'levity') .

Levitas, like all Winchesters, had a "chirping" voice. He was barely as tall as a draft horse. Temeraire makes his acquantiance early in their stay at the Loch Laggan covert, one day when Temeraire asks Laurence to remove his harness, Levitas chirps that he would like to have his harness removed, too. That is when Laurence notices that there are sores from where the dirty harness has rubbed too often and that Levitas has dried blood and other muck on his hide. Soon after that Levitas often goes to the lake with Temeraire until one day his captain, Jeremy Rankin puts a stop to it because Levitas wasn't available when he wanted to go out.

Levitas strived to please his captain and only need a few kind words to be happy, but his captain neglected him and treated him worse then if he was a dog. Hollin often took care of him and when Levitas died in action and his captain left him alone, Hollin was there trying to comfort Levitas but all Levitas wanted was his captain.

Levitas played a vital role in Britain's victory over the French at the Battle of Dover. It was Levitas that carried the intelligence that the French were building flying transports for an invasion. The dangerous circumstances surrounding this mission cost Levitas his life. Thanks to Laurence, at the end he was attended by his Captain. While Captain Rankin's presence and behavior at Levitas' death was forced, it nonetheless eased Levitas' passing and softened his final moments.

Sarkan is tall with a lean build. He's beardless with "cold black" eyes and a pale mouth. He isn't ugly, but his coldness makes him appear unpleasant.

Sarkan is over a hundred years old, but he appears to be in his late teens or early twenties, "a little older than" Agnieszka at age 17. Although his skin is "taut", he has an unnatural "crow's-nest of lines by his eyes, as though years couldn't touch him, but use did."

He typically dresses well in "rich" clothes and is neat and clean, preferring well prepared meals.

### Background

Danzig held an important strategic position. As well as being an important heavily fortified port with 60,000 inhabitants at the mouth of the river Vistula, it was a direct threat to the French left, as it lay within Prussian lands but to the rear of the French army as it advanced eastward. It was also a potential dropping off point for allied troops which could threaten the French army by opening another front to their rear.

### Battle

The Prussian troops withdraw to Danzig, Poland where they are pinned down.

### Escape

Tharkay brings 20 feral dragons to help relieve the siege. Everyone escapes during a long night, by using carry harness to transport the Prussian's to the waiting British Transport Ships. The final few hundreds are transported directly to Scotland by the Dragons and took \_\_\_ days.

## Historical References

### Deviations from History

There was a Siege of Danzig that took place March to May, 1807, which seems to be the closest Real World event to what went on in *Black Powder War*.

Lady Arikawa

by kurokato on DeviantArt

## Biography

Lady Arikawa is a female dragon of an unknown, middle-weight Japanese breed, compared by William Laurence to the Fleur-de-Nuit. Her companion is Kaneko Hiromasa

### 1811-1812

from *Blood of Tyrants*

A Japanese noble of some standing, Lady Arikawa presides over the interrogation of William Laurence, and later, the manhunt of Laurence and Junichiro. Laurence also notes that Lady Arikawa is dressed in "curious, pale green silken dressings" the same color as her eyes, which "coming loose made graceful arcs around its body like sails spilling their wind". Later on, Laurence noticed that these dressings were drawn tight around her for flight, serving as a harness, while the silk material is "bordered with innumerable small gems".

However, Lady Arikawa does not carry any men aboard her, save for Kaneko Hiromasa.

Laurence also notices that Lady Arikawa has a small dragon attendant, a "brilliant yellow beast larger than a Winchester though not up to combat-weight", of an unknown Japanese breed. Her dragon attendant could carry four men, including Matsudaira.

Lady Arikawa can speak both Japanese and Chinese, as observed by Laurence. She also proves quite possessive of Kaneko Hiromasa, her companion.

## Overview

Kaziliks are a highly valuable breed of dragon, mostly because of the coveted ability to breathe fire, but also because they are heavyweight dragons when most fire breathers are light to middleweight. They are native to Turkey, and the government lets very few out of their possession. Kaziliks are difficult to disguise or decoy, a common tactic used to protect fire breathing dragons, because of their distinctive horns. The species is known to have a strong fighting spirit, which only further increases their military value.

William Laurence saw the destructive power of the Kaziliks at the Battle of the Nile when he saw the French flagship (*L'Orient*) destroyed by their flames.

At the beginning of the 19th century, a Kazilik egg was worth 500,000 pounds when the British bought a Kazilik egg and two others from Turkey.

Kaneko Hiromasa

Template:People

## Biography

from *Blood of Tyrants*

Kaneko Hiromasa is a Japanese official, or country-gentleman, who saved William Laurence's life after Laurence was found, nearly dead, after the shipwreck of the Potentate. Kaneko was also the master of Junichiro.

Laurence could not work out Kaneko's exact ranking, but he judged that Kaneko was a reasonably wealthy man of some position, due to his numerous servants, the size of his estate, and Kaneko's engaging in important affairs due to the quantity of papers in his study.

Kaneko had sworn a vow to the *kami* Jizo for the sake of his (recently deceased) wife and son, promising to protect and aid any person in need he encountered; Laurence became the beneficiary of this vow. The Japanese official also took an interest in Laurence's jeweled Chinese sword, confiscating it and telling Laurence that the Japanese government officials had decreed that "only a samurai may bear a long sword".

Kaneko is also the companion of the dragon Lady Arikawa.

## Overview

The Mohawk dragons have angular heads, similar to the Naskapi and other American dragons. They were territorial, and used to fly with a single rider each.

By the beginning of the 19th century there were some cross-breeding between the Mohawks and European breeds. A female Mohawk descendant from one of those pairings met John Wampanoag in New York, and he could tell she had European blood because she was bigger and she had a round head, unlike the common Mohawks.

## Dragons

Minnow

Minnow

Default image

Minnow was one of the scouts of the Dragon Militia, being small and fast she could fly around the French camps and assumed to be a feral dragon looking for some food. She often brought back important intelligence for Temeraire to use in his plans.

When Laurence asked her if she had never wanted a captain, she replied that she had chums enough and being in harness and told what to do and where to go all of the time wasn't for her.

She went with Temeraire as a wittiness that he wasn't just looking out for himself, when he met with the General to determine what the Militia would get in pay to continue the fight.

Minnow as well as Moncey received an epaulette for being in command of the couriers.

During one of the Aerial fights, Minnow snatched the captain off of one of the French heavy-weight Defendeur-Brave Dragons and flew to the British line with him in her talons, thus breaking up the French formation as the Dragon chased after his captain.

### 1813

from *League of Dragons*

When Minnow stops by to see Temeraire, it is mentioned that she, Moncey and the rest of the Winchesters that belonged to the Militia established a private courier-route and were doing well with it. They carried packages, urgent messages and an occasional passenger for anyone that could afford them.

While visiting Temereaire she learns about the map of dragon territories that Napoleon has planned. Later, she attends the dinner that Temeraire arranges to promote the unharnessed dragons joining them in the fight against Napoleon in Germany. Minnow and a few other couriers goes with them to help with delivering messages when the go to liberate Berlin from Napoleon.
