Armée de l’Air

The French equivalent of the British Aerial Corps.

Due to the great number of dragons in France, Napoleon Bonaparte started the tradition of giving a dragon egg to whoever joined the Armée de l'Air. However, precisely because of the numbers, France can afford to lose the beasts, reason why Bonaparte has dared to execute dragons for treason, when in Britain those same crimes would be "punished" sending them to breeding grounds.

At some point after Lien joined Napoleon's forces dragons started to get rewarded, receiving dignities if those were deserved. At least one of them other than Lien, Ombreux (a grey and green dragon, not quite a middle-weight), was named Marshal.

## Lien's Breeding Programme

After Lung Tien Lien allied herself with Bonaparte, she started applying her knowledge of the Chinese style of breeding to advice the French on the most profitable crosses to attempt.

Over five years, this had the following results in the Armée de l'Air:

* More intelligent and educated dragons, able to learn more languages even after hatching.
* The creation of entirely new breeds through crossings between French dragons and some Incan and Chinese breeds. While the results make difficult to identify these new dragons, some traits of their parent breeds are still notizable:
	+ Courier and light-weight breeds are favored for crosses with other more notable breeds.
		- Pou-de-Ciel + Pascal's Blue: similar colors and anatomy.
		- Pou-de-Ciel + Flamme-de-Gloire: conformation of Pou-de-Ciel, but coloration of Flamme-de-Gloire, brilliant yellow-striped black.
		- Unknown breed + Jade: a certain greyhound look like a Jade dragon. Long and flexible neck.
		- Unknown breeds + Incan breeds: they inherit the long feathery scales.
	+ The French dragons with Chinese blood are muddled, with large broad foreheads, deep chests, and heavy shoulders. Their hides are motley, muddied greens and yellows and browns.
* Disdain for heavyweight breeds, who are neglected due to the high cost of their food, to the point of preventing them from mating.

During the French occupation of Spain a breeding ground was established near its territory, east of the river Nive. After Joseph Bonaparte left the country and the English forces gained the advantage Jane Roland stated her interest in going to the breeding ground and taking the eggs, still soft in the shell, distributing them between themselves and the Spanish (and maybe using them to tempt the Austrians), which would potentially make their respective Aerial Forces the beneficiaries of Lien's programme.

It is unclear if Roland's plan was executed, but after the end of the war, part of the terms by which the enemies of France would sign an armstice, recognizing its natural borders, were that each of the allied nations would receive a share of the dragon eggs from the French breeding grounds.
Animosia

Default image

## Biography

Animosia is a formation leader at the Dover covert and a veteran of nine fleet actions. Her Captain is Sanderson, who takes her sickness quite hard.

Her name means Spirit or Wrath in Latin.

#### Dragon Plague

She is hard hit with the plague and even though she receives the antidote in time, she doesn't make a complete recover and still ailed long after many others recovered.

## Discrepancies

It appears that there is one reference to Artemisa that should have been to Animosia.

At the time of the quote, Emily's mother Jane Roland had been demoted from being in charge of the Dover covert and the Channel aerial defenses. Sanderson put in her place (the usurper). Which indicates that the name should have been Animosia, Sanderson's dragon who never really recovered from the plague.

There is no other mentions of a dragon named Artemisia.

Feng Li

## Biography

Feng Li was a servant of Prince Yongxing and arrived in England as part of the Chinese Embassy. He was a tall man with a permanent stoop who, like all Han Chinese of his time, shaved his forehead and wore the rest of his hair in a queue. (The Manchu had imposed this hairstyle on the Han Chinese in the early 17th century.)

#### At Sea

After it had become clear that Laurence could neither be commanded, cajoled nor bribed to leave Temeraire, Feng Li attempted to kill Laurence by shoving him down the fore hatch of the HMS Allegiance after a feast celebrating the Chinese New Year on February 18, 1806.

Feng Li made a second attempt during a typhoon, while Laurence and the carpenter's mate Leddowes were on deck trying to tighten the ropes that secured Temeraire's storm chains. Feng Li attempted to strike Laurence with a pry-bar, but caught him on the arm instead of the head. In the ensuing confusion, Leddowes was washed overboard by a wave, and Feng Li was blown overboard by a blast of wind.

Temeraire and 1st Lieutenant John Granby were quite ready to believe that Feng Li had acted on Yongxing's orders, but diplomat Arthur Hammond refused to agree. Not until later evidence revealed more of Yongxing's motivation and plans did Hammond accept that he was behind the repeated attempts on Laurence's life.
Anahuarque

## Biography

Anahuarque is the former Sapa Inca's widow and the daughter of the previous Sapa Inca. Her husband died of smallpox she survived but she now has a scarred face. She is tall and thin but with too large shoulders. She has long dark hair that is turned to plaits. She is not a very pretty woman.

### 1810

from *Crucible of Gold*

Anahuarque just negotiates with women like Emily Roland, Mrs. Pemberton or Mme Récamier. She speaks Quechua, French and English. She is protected by Maila Yupanqui. Anahuarque is forced to marry again so that she can begit an heir for the Incan Empire. The wrong marriage could lead to a civil war of the different clans so she is acting tactically like Penelope in the Greek mythology. She proposes more or less voluntary two possible husbands, Granby and Napoleon, but more then likely Granby was never a real consideration, Anahuarque betrays her ambition by immediately accepting Napoleon as her consort, thus becoming Empress of most of Europe as well as the Inca Nation.

In November or December 1811 she marries Napoleon and travels to France as new empress. Her son Joseph Pachacuti Yupanqui is born in May or June 1812. Anahuarque supports Napoleon with dragon soldiers of her incan army.

### 1812 - 1813

from *League of Dragons*

Ultimately, Anahuarque agrees to betray Napoleon by having her Incan dragons withdraw from the battle, if it is apparent that he will loose and be capture. In exchange for her betrayal their son will be named Emperor and she will rule France as regent.

Laurence understands the truth of the arrangement and isn't happy with the way everything was handled but after meeting with Anahuarque in France, he decides to keep quite about what really happened.

## Description

Former Aerial Corps captain Will Laurence and his faithful dragon, Temeraire, have been put out to pasture in Australia—and it seems their part in the war has ended just when they are needed most. The French have invaded Spain, forged an alliance with Africa’s powerful Tswana empire, and brought revolution to Brazil. With Britain’s last desperate hope of defeating Napoleon in peril, the government that sidelined Laurence swiftly offers to reinstate him, convinced that he’s the best man to enter the fray and negotiate peace. So the pair embark for Brazil, only to meet with a string of unmitigated disasters that forces them to make an unexpected landing in the hostile territory of the Incan empire. With the success of the mission balanced on a razor’s edge, an old enemy appears and threatens to tip the scales toward ruin. Yet even in the midst of disaster, opportunity may lurk—for one bold enough to grasp it.

Ezekiah Martin

Template:People

## Biography

An open and friendly young man as well as a capable officer, Martin was selected by Capt. William Laurence as one of the midwingmen to serve aboard Temeraire. He was known for his bright yellow hair and his dislike of his first name.

Martin was wounded in the Valerie engagement as he journeyed to China with Temeraire and his crew in late 1805. He was out of action for a time before returning to duty. Unfortunately, he healed faster than the first lieutenant, John Granby. In the absence of Granby and the second lieutenant, Evans, who had been returned to Britain with a broken leg, the crew were in charge of the third lieutenant, Ferris. Ferris was too young and inexperienced to know how to tell the aviators to take no notice of the jibes of the sailors. As a result, Martin got into an argument with naval midshipman Reynolds, who was on the point of making a challenge Martin could not answer when the armourer's mate Blythe knocked Reynolds down. Blythe had to be severely flogged for striking an officer, for which Martin felt extremely guilty.

Martin was one of the ten crew members chosen to accompany Temeraire and Laurence to Peking, along with Granby, Keynes, Riggs, Therrows, Hackley, Dunne, Blythe, Willoughby and Digby. (Emily Roland and Peter Dyer also went, on George Staunton's advice. As they were children, they were not counted against the limit of ten set by Prince Yongxing.)

In Africa, Martin was one of the party captured by Kefentse and his warriors and taken to Mosi-oa-Tunya, along with Laurence, Harcourt, Chenery and others. Lily made it possible for the humans to escape by burning hand- and footholds in a sheer cliff for them with her acid. Since Laurence was still recovering from a severe flogging, Martin helped him down the cliff, guiding his feet to each foothold.

When Laurence was convicted of treason in late 1807, all of Temeraire's crew members were reassigned. Martin was assigned to Orchestia. Laurence - technically still under a death sentence - and Temeraire rejoined the Aerial Corps during Napoleon's occupation of Britain, but when Temeraire saw Martin in camp and greeted him, Martin pointedly ignored him. It is not known whether he actually disdained Laurence for his act of treason or whether he acted in this way to protect his own future in the Aerial Corps, especially since Ferris had already been broken out of the Corps because he was thought to have abetted Laurence.
Bunyip

Bunyip by kurokato

Found in *Tongues of Serpents* as a clever and evil creature that stalks the men on their jouney to the interior.

1812 map of Australia

**Bunyip** was a local word for dragon and sea serpent-like creatures that lived in the Australian outback. The creatures lived in long underground caverns, and moved around without being detected from above. With dragons and people eating up the local game, the bunyips resorted to snatching luckless humans away from the party with Temeraire, as they flew across the continent in search of a stolen egg.

The bunyips displayed a high level of intelligence, by trapping Temeraire in quicksand by diverting underground rivers while he slept, and then attacking the less formidable humans and Caesar en masse.

Temeraire was never able to learn their language, but the groups formed and uneasy truce by leaving kangaroos at the mouths of bunyip holes as a peace offering.

Bunyips had pebbled hides of red and brown, with yellow tufted heads. Their front legs were much larger than their rear legs, with short horn talons with webbing between. They had rounded snouts and small black eyes. They had two strange webbed half-circle ridges rising between their shoulders. This could suggest that Bunyips share a common ancestor with the Dragons - the shoulder ridges of the ancestral species gradually evolving into wings for Dragons but not for Bunyips.

## Description

Naomi Novik ended her acclaimed, beloved nine-volume Temeraire series last year with a stunning finale, League of Dragons. Fans missing their favorite series can now rejoice: Novik returns with an original Temeraire collection as unique as the world she has created, with each tale inspired by an accompanying piece of fan art.

But other famous fictional characters are to be discovered here as well. Readers will certainly recognize a certain Miss Bennet (here Captain Bennet) and her suitor, Mr. Darcy, in “Dragons and Decorum.”

Filled with the inventive world-building, rich detail, sparkling wit, and deep emotion that readers have come to expect from Novik’s work, Golden Age and Other Stories is a treasure at home on any Temeraire-lover’s bookshelf.

## Overview

Anglewings are a small breed of dragon known for adroit maneuvering. They are only a little bit larger than Yellow Reapers.

Anglewing eggs are golden-brown spotted with bright yellow.

## Origin Of Name

There are several butterfly species collectively known as "anglewings" for the irregularly angular outline of their wings, whose mottled greyish-brown undersides resemble a tattered dead leaf when the butterfly rests on a twig. Anglewings' topside patterns are more varied, but most are tawny orange-brown with narrow black edges and small (sometimes graduated) black spots.

## Dragons

Dragons of this breed that are mentioned in the series.

* Obversaria, Captain Lenton
* Velocitas
* Palliatia
* Orchestia, Captain Fenter
* Fidelitas (product of crossbreeding, reached heavy-weight size), Captain Roger Poole

Eroica

Default image

## Biography

Eroica (Italian for "heroic") is considered one of Prussia's finest dragons.

## 1806 - 1807

from *Black Powder War*

He is very disciplined and performs well as a military dragon. His strict sense of order clashes with Temeraire's free spirit when he arrives in Prussia. Temeraire refers to him as a "booby" in a fit of temper.

Both Eroica and his captain, Dyhern, initially refuse to accept that there are problems with their formation-flying. Although they eventually relent and agree to give Temeraire's ideas a try, there is insufficient time to implement them before Eroica is captured by the French in the Battle of Jena-Auerstadt.

## 1813

from *League of Dragons*

He along with the other Prussian dragons are allowed to escape from France so they can relay information to Laurence and Temeraire concerning Temeraire's egg. Information that will upset Temeraire enough to try and rescue the egg, thus falling into a trap set by Napoleon and Lien.

Eroica is reunited with Dyhern in time for the final battle that defeats Napoleon. During that campaign Adminal Laurence briefly considers and then discards Eroica and Sorokshest (Admiral Ilchenko's dragon) as part of a team needed to catch the French, since both beasts were too slow for the task.

## Trivia

The best-known use of the Italian word "Eroica" in German culture is probably as the alternate name for Ludwig von Beethoven's Third Symphony. Ironically, the symphony had originally been composed in honor of Napoleon Bonaparte, but Beethoven violently slashed out the title "Bonaparte" from his manuscript in May 1804 on learning that its namesake had declared himself the Emperor of France. The symphony was first performed in the summer of 1804; when the music was published in 1806, it was with the new title "Sinfonia Eroica" ("heroic symphony").

## Overview

This breed is from the Bengal region of India (which makes possible that "Bengal" isn't actually the name of the breed, but a demonym). They have a rounded, snake-like nose with long fangs hanging over their jaws. Around their necks they have a large, frilled flap that can be extended above and below their head, patterned 'peacock-bright in blue and green and violet'. They seem to produce a greenish ichor from their fangs, probably some sort of venom.

They are said to hate the British with a deep burning passion.

Chalcedony

## Biography

"Chalcedony" is a name for a class of quartz-based minerals, whose exact definition varies by technical field. Geologists include patterned and opaque stones such as onyx, agate, and jasper; jewelers prefer to limit chalcedonies to translucent stones of uniform color.

### 1808

from *Victory of Eagles*

Chalcedony is one of the unharnessed dragons recruited for Temeraire's regiment from the Pen Y Fan Breeding Grounds during Napoleon's invasion of Britain in December 1807. Along with Gladius, Chalcedony was chosen by the unharnessed Yellow Reapers as one of the best and most enthusiastic fighters to accompany Temeraire for what proved to be guerrilla warfare, while Cantarella is put in charge of the Reapers who stay behind with the main force and given an epaulette to mark her rank.

Chalcedony is sometimes *too* enthusiastic. When the guerrilla forces attack two Petit Chevaliers, Maximus killed one by falling directly on top of her. Chalcedony promptly tries to repeat Maximus' feat with the other Chevalier. However, Petit Chevaliers are heavyweights, smaller than Regal Coppers like Maximus but still considerably larger than a middleweight Yellow Reaper. The Chevalier simply bowls Chalcedony over, only to be caught in a torrent of flame from Iskierka - who almost hit Chalcedony as well.

Chalcedony fought bravely during the Battle of Shoeburyness in March 1808, although when reminded by Temeraire that it was his duty as an officer to keep the other Reapers in position, he rather cravenly pointed out that it was Cantarella who had the epaulette. (Cantarella immediately takes advantage of this remark.) In the end, Chalcedony's enthusiasm is to be his death.   When the British naval ships open fire and the Reapers are suppose to herd the French dragons into range of their cannons, Chalcedony pursues a Pou-de-Ciel too far. He takes a cannonball in the chest and falls without a sound.

After the battle, the Yellow Reapers carry his corpse off the field. He is buried in the barrow-mounds on the old quarantine-grounds near the Dover covert, where the victims of the Dragon Plague have been laid to rest.

## Biography

from *Blood of Tyrants*

He sells fabric in St Petersburg, Russia. He is the employer of Josiah and Linden. He is fat and red-faces. He wears high boots and a brown vest. He is from New Jersey and has already heard of John Wampanoag and admires him. He doesn't want to sell his fabric to the French because they pay less money but he soon wants to if the Russians keep asking for his two dragons.

**Notes to be used to rewrite the article**

*Explanations made, Temeraire wished to be introduced to Josiah and Lindy, but they only spoke a language called Unami and not English; their employer was a Mr. Calvin Jefferson, and when Temeraire tentatively asked that man, he stridently denied their having any interest in taking part in the battle. “Get themselves shot, all for someone else’s quarrel; I should think not,” he said, bristling.*
*Jefferson snorted. “It’s soon enough to brag of your victory after you’ve won it,” he said. “I don’t set myself up as an expert on the matter, but it seems to me that Bonaparte’s done pretty well for himself on these occasions in the past.”*

*He gave them a very nice cup of tea, however, and he had some very fine woolen cloth, of which he made Temeraire a present large enough to make Laurence a new coat; as a sample, he said. “I have three thousand bales of it,” he said very mournfully, “sitting just out of cannon-shot of St. Petersburg harbor; and if these Russian fellows would only make me a reasonable offer, offer, I guess I could land it north of the city, and they could ship it down to Tver: if the French don’t take that, pretty soon.”* Novik, Naomi.

*Laurence received the gift with pleasure, although he professed himself surprised by the presence of the traders. “I suppose I ought not be,” he said. “They seem to be everywhere in the world, these days; and in the article of speed their ships are scarcely to be outmatched...*
*“But this merchant may have gambled badly,” Laurence added, “if he was hoping to see his price driven up:...* Novik, Naomi. Blood of Tyrants: A Novel of Temeraire (p. 372). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.
Genevieve

Default image

## Biography

Geneviève is a female Fleur-de-Nuit on the *Triomphe*. She learned 4 languages in the shell and one further after hatching. She speaks at least English, French and Quechua. Her egg was given to the Légion d'Aille and to Charles de Guignes to be the French dragon ambassador to the Incan Empire. Geneviève is gentle but she knows about her superior position. She is good in talking and lets Temeraire feel that he has the inferior position and is just an unwelcome guest on board the French ship.

## Overview

Mostly used as a courier, the name translates as "Ferocious Hunter." If its nature reflects its name, it is possible that this dragon might also be used as a light-weight combat dragon.

## Biography

He is stationed at Dover Covert. He starts the brawl when Laurence first meets other officers after his conviction. He is 40 pounds heavier than Laurence and starts with a hit under the chin. But he is not very good in dodging or balancing. His clothes are still covered with fresh dragon blood.
Cantarella

by unknown

## Biography

Cantarella is one of the unharnessed dragons recruited for Temeraire's regiment from the Pen Y Fan Breeding Grounds during Napoleon's invasion of Britain in December 1807.

### 1808

from *Victory of Eagles*

She is notable for her command abilities rather than her personal fighting prowess. Although Chalcedony and Gladius are chosen by the unharnessed Yellow Reapers as the best and most enthusiastic fighters to accompany Temeraire for what proved to be guerrilla warfare, it is Cantarella who is promoted to Captain and put in charge of the Reapers who stay behind with the main force.

During the Battle of Shoeburyness in March 1808, Temeraire reminds Chalcedony that it is his duty as an officer to keep the other Reapers in position. Chalcedony rather cravenly pointed out that it is Cantarella who has the epaulette. Cantarella promptly takes full advantage of this remark, hitching her epaulette forward and swearing that *she* would not let the Reapers go afield again.

### 1808-1809

from *Tongues of Serpents*

Cantarella and Gladius had a falling-out, which Temeraire saw as a great pity, since he thought the two Yellow Reapers would make a splendid egg together.

Cantarella is the mother of Tharunka. Temeraire comments, when the egg is stolen, that he'd never be able to look her in the face again if he can't rescue it. He ended up locating it, although by then the dragonet had already hatched, and she seemed comfortable with the Australians, learning all the languages she could to help them.

Bedford

## Biography

Captain of HMS Hibernia, Admiral Lord Gardner's flagship of the Channel fleet blockading the French fleet in Brest.

He served with William Laurence on HMS Goliath during the Battle of the Nile. During a trip over the Channel Fleet to deliver dispatches from the Admiralty, Captain Bedford offended Laurence by calling Temeraire an "animal" and stating how appalling it must be to "be chained to such a life, and in such company," refering to his fellow Aviators; Laurence promptly excused himself back to Temeraire and headed back to the Dover covert.

Seeing as how he was a Captain of a first rate ship of the line, he was probably senior to Laurence in the seniority list of Captains.
Auctoritas

Default image

A middleweight combat dragon, typically part of Excidium's formation.
*Auctoritas* is Latin for "authority, power, command".

Prior to the Battle of Trafalgar, Auctoritas was detached and remained behind at the Dover covert, along with Crescendium and Temeraire, to protect the English Channel.

### 1807

from *Empire of Ivory*

Until Temeraire arrived, Auctoritas helped Caelifera fight off a French Plein-Vite found spying on the Dover covert despite being ill.

Auctoritas dies of the dragon plague before they send the cure back from Africa.

## Ottoman Empire

In 1923 the Ottoman Empire became Turkey. During the Temeraire series, it was ruled over by Sulton Selim.
Lawrence is ordered to return to England from China by way of the Ottoman Empire where he is expected to take possession of three dragon eggs that England has bought from them, including a much desired Kazilik egg. The first part of *Black Powder War* takes place there.

## Turkestan

Not a country; Turkestan was a label used by Western cartographers to refer to Central Asia. At this point in time, "Turkestan" was occupied by Persia, the independent states of Badakhshan, Bukhara, Kandaz, Khiva and Kokand, and the unorganised lands inhabited by the Kazahk people.
Arkady and his group of feral dragons are believed to have come from the Pamir Mountains, which lie amidst several of the aforementioned independent states.

Fellowes

Template:People

## Biography

from *In His Majesty's Service*

Fellowes was a harness-master in the Aerial Corps, known for being silent but dependable. He had some ten years of experience when Laurence added him to Temeraire's ground crew and was particularly adept at coaxing additional men out of the Corps, being able to get Laurence eight additional harness-men. The additional men were particularly useful because Laurence insisted on Temeraire being allowed to have his harness taken off whenever he didn't actually need to be wearing it. Most dragons were kept in full harness all the time.

from *Empire of Ivory*

Fellowes was from Scotland, where his father was a master-of-hounds. This early experience in training dogs came in useful in Africa, where Fellowes was able to improve the methods that Demane was using to train his dog to hunt for the mushrooms that cured the Dragon Plague.

from *Victory of Eagles*

When Laurence was convicted of treason in late 1807, all of Temeraire's crew members were reassigned. When Laurence - technically still under a death sentence - and Temeraire rejoined the Aerial Corps during Napoleon's occupation of Britain, Fellowes was one of the few former crew members who returned.
Elsie

## Biography

She and Captain Hollin are assigned to courier duty. Hollin was given the chance to harness Elsie, over Jeremy Rankin, who treated his dragon, Levitas, with disrespect even while he was dying.
She grew a bit larger for a Winchester, because Hollin knew how to feed a dragonette to promot healthy growth better than most new captains.

## 1808

from *Victory of Eagles*

When the Admiralty decides that they needed Laurence and Temeraire to fight the French invasion on British soil, they send for Laurence and have him couriered to Pen y Fan to retrieve Temeraire. Elsie and Hollin are assigned the duties, so for the first time Elsie meets Laurence, whom she had already heard all about from Hollin.

When they arrived at the breeding grounds they discover all of the Humans and Dragons are gone from there, so they set out looking for them.

After four days of searching and stopping at every farm that looking likely to have seen anything, they still couldn't find any trace of almost 60 unharnessed dragons, but they heard a lot about the French raiding the countryside for food. Finally they set down at Twickenham and talked with the Mayor, who ended up by inviting them to dinner. Elsie's dessert was served on a pretty decorative platter that she praised, so the Mayor's daughter Miss Jemson, gave it to her. The decorated plate is colored blue, red and silver.

It was during this stop that Captain Miller on Devastatio encountered them, while he was on his way to give a commission to a local Militia leader that has been rallying the countryside and defeating the French.

As they were all leaving, Devastatio in the lead since Elsie was burdened with both Hollin and Laurence, they were attacked by a French Petit Chevalier that immediately took down Devastatio and then winged after Elsie. Eleie is small, quick and nimble but she was also over loaded so was able to elude him for about an hour but was loosing ground as she tired. Just as it was looking bleak for her, Requiescat appears and takes down the French Dragon with the same trick that he had previously used on Devastatio. After the French Dragon is chased off, Requiescat leads them to his camp and to , Temeraire.

Elsie and Hollin were sent back with letters concerning Temeraire's Militia and that the French would be in London within two days.
Cuarla

Cuarla is a male lightweight dragon. Taruca belonged to his *ayllu* in Talcahuano but Cuarla didn't steal him; instead, he exchanged him for one young man that he gave to the *ayllu* of Curicuillor, to which Taruca originally belonged. Cuarla insists on a fight with Iskierka after she has taken Taruca what shall decide to whom Taruca belongs. He is very pugnacious and attacks verbally also greater dragons.
Digby

(c) Anke Eissmann

'-' detonates no information is given about the character in this book

'**†**' detonates character is deceased

Digby was one of Temeraire's lookouts, a resourceful young fellow. When the British were attempting to stop a French convoy from reaching Le Havre and Laurence was engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with a French lieutenant on the base of Temeraire's neck, Digby knocked the Frenchman out by striking him from behind with a piece of round-shot on a measuring cord.

### 1806

from *Throne of Jade*

Despite his youth, he was one of the ten crew members chosen to accompany Temeraire and Laurence to Peking, along with Granby, Keynes, Riggs, Therrows, Hackley, Dunne, Blythe, Martin and Willoughby. (Emily Roland and Peter Dyer also went, on George Staunton's advice. As they were children, they were not counted against the limit of ten set by Prince Yongxing.)

### 1806 cont.

from *Black Powder War*

Although Digby was normally the steadiest of the ensigns, at least once he had to be chided by Granby for trying to make a pet of the feral dragon Molnar by saving choice bits of meat for him.

Digby was promoted from ensign to midwingman during the crew's stay in Istanbul. He was killed while Temeraire, Laurence and the crew were escaping from the Sultan's palace with the three dragon eggs owed the British. Digby had been put in charge of the smallest egg, an Alaman. When it began to slip free from Temeraire's back, he tried to catch hold of it. Instead, both he and the unhatched dragonet fell to their deaths.
