## Biography

Excidium (Latin for 'destruction') is a Longwing with 80 years of experience. His sire was Gentius. His first captain was Jane Roland's grandmother, followed by Jane's mother, Sarah Roland.

Excidium's current captain, Jane Roland, is his third. As she explains to Laurence, captains breed themselves as much as dragons are bred with the intent their children become the dragon's captain upon their deaths, and the dragon will have a captain that "shares their pain."

Emily Roland, who servs as a member of Temeraire's crew, is expected to be Excidium's captain after Jane.

### Background

This Battle isn't described in any of the books or short stories as the focus remains on William Laurence and Temeraire while they are in Dover.

## Historical Information

The Battle of Austerliz is also known as the *Battle of the three Emperors* (French, Russian and Austrian). It took place at Austerliz, near Brno (Moravia). It is known as one of the Napoleon's greatest victories, a tactical masterpiece.

Thanks to the victory in that battle Napoleon effectively destroyed the Third Coalition against the French Empire.

On December 2nd 1805, a French army under the command of the Emperor defeated a Russo-Austrian army, commanded by Tsar Alexander I. The battle took nine hours.

On December 26th 1805, Austria and French Empire signed the Treaty of Pressburg, which took Austria out of the war. The Russian troops were allowed to head back home.

The victory also permitted the creation of the Confederation of the Rhine, a collection of German states intended as a buffer zone between France and the rest of Europe.

### Deviations from History

Since the battle isn't describe in any detail, only the inclusion of Dragons should be considered a deviation.

* **Reason:** ensure name is added to HMS Reliant crew and first book list of characters

The son of an earl, Fanshawe is (presumably junior) lieutenant on the HMS Reliant during the captaincy of William Laurence.

After the Amitie is captured along with the dragon egg that will hatch Temeraire, Laurence decides that lots will be drawn among the officers to attempt to harness the dragonet. Fanshawe is clearly displeased by the prospect of becoming an aviator and is reprimanded by Laurence for his attitude toward the Aerial Corps.
Albert Ferris, Lord Seymour

## Family

Mother: Lady Catherine Seymour, Brothers:Richard and Henry

## Biography

He is Lord Seymour since his father has died. His wife is Lady Seymour and his mother is Lady Catherine Seymour. He is the oldest brother of Henry and Richard.

He was present at the dinner party that William Laurence attended with Henry, but ignores both of them while conversing with his friends over cards.

### Family

The **Ferris family** is English nobility who received their estate, Heytham Abbey, during the reign of Charles II. Over time, their rank was elevated from knighthood to baronetcy to barony. Like the Rankin family, the Ferrises have the tradition of sending third sons to the Aerial Corps.

In the early 19th century, the head of the family is Albert Ferris, who holds the title of Baron and is addressed as Lord Seymour. Lord Seymour's wife holds the title of Baroness and is addressed as Lady Seymour. They have at least three sons. Like Jeremy Rankin's mother, Lady Seymour resists the tradition of sending away her third son at age seven to become an aviator cadet.

Lord Seymour has two younger brothers. The second son is Captain Richard Ferris, who serves in the British army. The third and youngest son, Henry of the British Aerial Corps and who is ten years younger than Lord Seymour.

His mother, the Dowager Baroness, is addressed as Lady Catherine Seymour. She has sent her son Henry into the Corps at the traditional age; at the time, he was afraid to leave home and wept at the separation, though by adulthood he was happy to serve as an aviator. Perhaps in overcompensation, Lady Catherine becomes very vocal about praising the Aerial Corps. She criticized her daughter-in-law's reluctance to follow her own example in relinquishing a third son at age seven.

## Biography

~~He sypathizes with Prewitt's political opinion althought he doesn't say it openly. Nevertheless the others avoid him.~~

One of Laurence's sympathizers that agreed with him that it was wrong of the admiralty to try and infect all of the continental dragons with the plague.

from *Victory of Eagles*

At the beginning of the book, just before the brawl where the Aerial Corps members fought, those that were sympathizers with Laurence and those that condemned him. (Note: two of the captains that condemned him were assigned to him in *League of Dragons*, one of them Geoffrey Windle)

*Captain Hesterfield loudly said, “May I shake your hand, sir?” too late for the request to be refused, and then nearly bodily dragged Laurence over to his table in the corner, and presented him to his companions.*

*There were six officers at the small and huddled table: two Prussians, one of whom, Von Pfeil, Laurence recognized from the siege of Danzig, and another who stood and shook his hand, and introduced himself as cousin to Captain Dyhern, with whom they had fought at the Battle of Jena.*

*Captain Prewitt, had been called to England a few months before, out of desperation: his Winchester had escaped the epidemic, as they were ordinarily assigned to Halifax covert, whence he had been stationed on a lonely circuit out in Quebec to put him out of the way of anyone hearing his radical political views, as he freely acknowledged.*

*And this is Captain Latour,” a French Royalist turned British officer. Hesterfield and the two others, Reynolds and Gounod, were political sympathizers of Prewitt’s,..*

Previously he had been a lieutenant on a mid-weight dragon that died during the Dragon Plague.

## Overview

Native to the barren desert regions of southeast Spain near Almería, the Cauchador Real were described as "fierce" by Sir Edward Howe. In the wild, this breed would grow to 10 or 12 tons, but domesticated reached a fighting weight of approximately 25 tons.

*"...of the fierce Cauchador Real, part ancestor of our own Regal Copper; in domestication this breed reaches a fighting weight of some 25 tonnes, but in the wild is scarcely to be found over 10 or 12 tonnes. . . ."*

Breeding the Cauchador Real with the smaller British breed Bright Copper produced the Regal Copper, which was both larger than either of its ancestors and better able to sustain flight over distance. The mix was originally suggested by scholar Roger Bacon based on the faulty assumption of the era that similarly colored dragons might breed well together. The faulty reasoning aside, the mix turned out to be a very fruitful one.

The name means "Royal Conqueror".

Ertegun

Template:People

## Biography

Ertegun was a Captain serving in the Ottoman Dragon Corps on the asian side of the Bosphorus Straits, east of Istanbul. He was the captain of a Turkish middle-weight (name and breed unknown), who looked as though it had been on guard duty too long, as it was noticed they had "gone to seed," as spoken by Granby, and was no longer in full fighting shape.

He was bearded, and spoke both Turkish and French.
Avraam Maden

Daughter: Sara Maden

Avraam Maden is a wealthy Sephardic Jewish banker in Istanbul. His family originated from the Seville region of Spain but immigrated to Istanbul during the Spanish Inquisition, as the Ottoman Empire was far more welcoming towards Jews.

He helped Laurence to discover what happened to the money paid by the British for the three Turkish dragon eggs.

## Biography

### 1810

from *Crucible of Gold*

Iskierka accidentaly revealed Laurence that Captain Little and Granby had an intimate relationship.

### 1811

from *Blood of Tyrants*

During a mission in China fighting some rebels Temeraire left the camp without his captain, so Laurence asked Captain Little and Immortalis to help him look for the Celestial. Little felt awkward around his fellow captain, since he was aware that Laurence knew about his romance with Captain Granby; however, since Laurence was suffering amnesia, he did not recall that, and thought that maybe Little was uncomfortable due to the treason Laurence had commited helping France get rid of the Dragon Plague. In that search they were attacked by rebels and Shao-Lungs, and Little fought bravely; his desperation defending himself and seeing his dragon being attacked made him look way more savage, compared to his usual half-dreamy look.

Soon after, when Laurence started recovering his memories, he finally realized the reason behind Little's behavior, and after some moral deliberation, he decided to show (albeit discreetly) his support for Little and Granby, saying goodbye to them and wishing them well.

## Overview

The name Flamme-de-Gloire means "Flame of Glory" in French. They were some of the most dangerous dragons in the French arsenal because of their ability to breathe fire. It was a usual tactic for the French to employ several similar-looking dragons (usually Papillons Noirs) to fly around the Flamme-de-Gloire as decoys, so the enemy would not know on which to focus an attack.

Alfie

Our community needs more information on this page! Can you help out? Click here to add more.

## Biography

### Early Years

Alfie was born into the London Enclave and grew up there until being inducted into the Scholomance as a freshman.

### A Deadly Education

Alfie often hangs out with the other London enclavers, particularly Sarah. He is scrupulously polite, even to El.

### The Last Graduate

After the valedictorian Liesel seems to grudgingly accept El's warning against trying to get in with Magnus Tebow or New York in general, she settles on allying herself with Alfie and his London friends, and also presumably starts dating him at some point although we don't see exactly when that begins. Their alliance becomes a formidable team on the gym practice runs due in large part to Alfie's excellent repertoire of shielding spells, but they are still forced to accept El's aid as the gym runs become ridiculously difficult. Alfie stands out for wholeheartedly trying to rescue everyone, instead of whinging as many other enclavers did.

Once the students' focus shifts from runs to how to improve survivability in a more permanent way, Alfie shares his knowledge of London enclave's efforts to find better solutions: because the cleansing machinery is eaten by agglos, they've had a lab with an agglo farm going for a hundred years, trying to figure out how to keep them out while still letting mortal flame be produced, but with no luck.

At graduation, Alfie gets the London seniors to make a circle for him to cast the evocation of refusal to make a corridor of safety for kids running to the gates, and holds it long past London's turn to leave. He covers El with it after she has to kill the maw-mouth, until with only twenty kids left, she can take the spell over and let the London group go - the last enclavers through the gates.

## Skills and Abilities

### Spells

Evocation of refusal - a really top spell that produces a dome or globe that keeps out anything the caster doesn't want

### Artifices

 Designed to pass for a watch, the band is silk, platinum, and opal, with a glass plate for a face covering the void.
It's an unlimited line to London's power store, a family heirloom from his father. El assumes before that, it was likely a result of Sir Alfred Cooper Browning's original deal with London to let them take over management of the Scholomance from Manchester.
Choque-Ocllo

## Biography

She is Taruca's daughter and mother of Ronpa. She wants him to waeve the *khipu* for the Sapa inca.

Notes for re-writting this article:
Taruca - *This is my daughter, Choque-Ocllo,” he reached out his hand, groping, to a matronly woman sitting beside him. “I have been telling her of your wish to see the Sapa Inca.”*Novik, Naomi. Crucible of Gold: A Novel of Temeraire (p. 192). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

*“No, none at all; but that is not the same as letting you see the Sapa Inca. But I am sending a message with you—my son Ronpa there is weaving it already, you see—and my father will add his personal testimony;..*Novik, Naomi. Crucible of Gold: A Novel of Temeraire (p. 192). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

*The message was a peculiarly knotted cord, which Taruca called a khipu, from which long strands descended in colors; the young man was expertly forming the cord from a heap of yarn, and tying knots in irregular distances. When he had finished, he passed it along to Taruca himself, who despite his blindness ran his fingers over the cords, consulted once or twice as to the color of various strands, and then swiftly knotted on another sequence.*Novik, Naomi. Crucible of Gold: A Novel of Temeraire (p. 192). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

*Choque-Ocllo said, “Some of them do not like to count children until they are old enough to walk: it distresses them too greatly to lose any. But in all the ayllus which have at least one chief of Curicuillor’s line, there are a little more than four thousand people: that, of course, is why other dragons will come here to steal men, sometimes; and you would be wise to keep a close watch on your own party yourselves.”* Novik, Naomi.

Edith Galman

## Biography

### Early Years

Edith Galman was the daughter of Lord and Lady Galman. She and William Laurence had grown up together as children, and had an understanding between them that was hoped to lead to an actual engagement. However, their hopes came to nothing when Laurence harnessed Temeraire and joined the Aerial Corps.

### Family

The **Galman family** were English nobility. In the early 19th century, the head of the family was addressed as Lord Galman. Their estate was in Nottinghamshire, near Wollaton Hall.

Lord Galman and his wife, Lady Galman, are friends of Lord Allendale. Their daughter, **Edith Galman**, is likewise a childhood friend of William Laurence; when she was nine years old and he was thirteen, the two of them made a private "half-joking agreement" to marry someday.

Their engagement was never formalized, although it was among the factors that made Laurence initially reluctant to attach himself to Temeraire.

#### Rank and Title

The full formal designation of Lord Galman is not known, but based on his and his family's forms of address, he most likely ranks as a baronet, baron, or viscount.

If his rank were lower, he would be called "Sir (first name)" rather than "Lord Galman"; if higher, then his daughter would be called "Lady Edith" instead of "Miss Galman" or "Mrs. Woolvey".

### 1805

from *His Majesty's Dragon*

Edith tells Laurence that it would be unfair to ask her to wait any longer for marriage which Laurence agrees and releases her from their informal arrangement.

### 1807 - 1808

from *Victory of Eagles*

Instead, she marries Bertram Woolvey. She and Woolvey have one son, James, who became ill. His illness prevents Edith and Woolvey from fleeing London when the French invaded the city. There, Laurence once again runs into them when he enters the city with Tharkay to rescue the captured John Granby. Edith convinces her husband that Laurence is no traitor, and he aids Laurence and Tharkay in the rescue attempt, which Tharkay suggests was only to prove his bravery in Edith's eyes.

Woolvey is killed by the French during the operation, leaving Edith widowed with a small child. Jane Roland manages to share intelligence with Laurence that Edith remained unmolested during the occupation of London, though she was much grieved by the death of her husband.

### 1813

from *League of Dragons*

Just a brief conversation between Edith and Laurence at the end of the book.

## Overview

The Cossack (Ukrainian: козаки́, kozaky; Russian: казаки, kazaky) is a breed used by the Cossacks, a group of predominantly East Slavic people who became known as members of democratic, semi-military and semi-naval communities in southern Russia, to defend Russia against the attacks of Napoleon Bonaparte's French forces. They are similar to a Winchester in size.

Noted by Grig to be "irregulars" in terms of fighting, Grig also noticed that Cossack dragons were smaller than his own size. Captain William Laurence also noticed that Cossack dragons were "considerably smaller" than Grig, "the size of Winchesters, courier-weight beasts by British standards".

Nevertheless, Cossack dragons seemed well-cared for by the Cossacks, compared to their Russian Aerial Corps counterparts. Temeraire noticed that the Cossack dragons were tucked in around the campfire amid the humans, had neat harnesses, and wore handsome woven blankets.

Fenter was known mainly for his neck-chain, which was gold and had an emerald.

HMS Potentate

*HMS Potentate* is a large Dragon Transport Ship of Britain's Royal Navy. This frigate was most noted for her shipwreck off the coast of Japan's Chikuzen Province, and later intrusion into Nagasaki Harbour in 1812. She participated in several engagements during the Napoleonic Wars.

*Potentate* sailed to the Atlantic, and later entered Nagasaki Harbour in 1812. She later sailed to Guangzhou, China, and later set course for Spain and Portugal (the Iberian Peninsula), carrying Iskierka, Lily, Maximus, Dulcia, Nitidus, Messoria, Immortalis, Kulingile and possibly Arkady.

## Origin of the Name

The word "potentate" (Late Latin *potentātus*: power, dominion) is a noun for "a person who possesses great power, as a sovereign, monarch, or ruler". It is also a synonym for "monarch" or "ruler".
Gentius

## Biography

The name may based on the legendary King Gentius of Illyria (2nd century BC). The gentian plant was supposedly named for his discovery of its healing properties. Many members of the gentian family have blue-violet flowers, which could provide an extra layer of meaning in reference to typical Longwing coloration.

It might also be based on mistakenly "masculinizing" the Latin *gentium*, which superficially resembles a 2nd-declension neuter nominative noun, but is actually the genitive plural of *gens, gentis*, a 3rd-declension feminine noun ("clan/people"; nom. pl. *gentes*). It might also be loosely based on the 3rd-declension adjective *gentilis*, which has a similar meaning to *gentium*: "belonging to our tribes/nation", ~"for the nation's benefit"/"for the common good".

### 1808

from *Victory of Eagles*
Gentius is a Longwing who had fought a great many battles in his day. As recently as 1776, he had been vigorous enough to fight alongside Laetificat in the American colonies. However, by the time Temeraire met him in the Pen Y Fan Breeding Grounds in 1807, old age had set in. Gentius could no long fly very far, he has developed cataracts and could barely see, and his few remaining teeth were wobbly, making it difficult for him to chew the raw meat that was the only food available.

However, Gentius could still spray acid, and the other dragons respected his experience, so when the unharnessed regiment left Pen Y Fan, Armatius carries Gentius aboard his back.

Gentius has sired at least three other dragons, the third of whom was Excidium (born c. 1725). He also has had at least three captains, probably more like four or five if he saw 200 years of active service. He was most attached to his first captain, who had fed him his first meal after hatching, when his head was no bigger than her hand. He kept a portrait of her in a gold frame and told Temeraire that "one never really gets over the first."

Gentius' first companion was also the first woman to be awarded the rank of captain, after she took charge during battle when Gentius's official "Captain" Haulding was drunk. Previously, Longwings' female companions were addressed only as Miss and, at least in theory, did not hold command. Instead, a male captain, was assigned to each Longwing along with the dragon's female companion.

## Biography

from *Crucible of Gold*

His parents died of a flue and he has no family in 2000 miles around. Laurence must take him when they leave Australia as payment for Alice Pemberton. His hair is blond, curly and long. First he was very afraid of Temeraire although Gerry was very usefull for him because with his little fingers he could reach more spots while brushiing the dragon. Gerry habituated quickly at his new position, the other young aviators told him that they would have been happy to start earlier as a runner on such a big dragon. Emily Roland became a kind of his older sister and teacher.

from *Blood of Tyrants*

*..wreck of the Allegiance: small Gerry, who could not yet hold a full sword, brandishing a long knife instead; for midwingmen, besides Emily Roland, he had only Baggy, still gangly in the midst of getting his growth and only lately advanced from the ground crew; and thin, stoop-shouldered Cavendish: brave enough, but likelier by the look of him to be blown overboard by a strong gust of wind than to cross swords with one of Napoleon’s Grognards.* Novik, Naomi.

Feast or Famine

## Story

"Feast or Famine" is a short story taking place in between His Majesty's Dragon and Throne of Jade. It has not been published in any form as of yet, but it can be read on the official Temeraire website. or Click here

## Synopsis

Early one morning, Temeraire makes his way to the feeding pens of the Dover Covert, only to find that the herdsmen who feed them are still asleep, and without them to open the pen, there is no way to get breakfast without causing a ruckus. Maximus arrives, also hungry, and the two attempt to open the gate without breaking it. Eventually getting it open, they manage to get their breakfast, but unfortunately, they also release the entire herd of cows and sheep into the wild.

After they have finished eating, Temeraire and Maximus attempt to herd the animals back into the pen, an act made more difficult by the fact that the terrified animals are running in every direction, and they scatter further when Volatilus arrives for his own meal. Eventually, Excidium arrives, and calls for other dragons to help muster the animals back into the pen. Maximus and Temeraire return to their clearings to rest, and Temeraire imagines a mechanism for opening a pen and getting an animal that could be operated by dragons.

Together with **Widdlow** he wanted to exchange Demane as Kulingile's Captain. Emily Roland told it to Demane but she just wanted to calm him. He should ask Temeraire if it would be so easy to exchange a Captain.

*(Demane) he said to Roland quietly, “You don’t suppose they would; take him away from me?” “In half-a-second,” Roland said absently, without looking up from the pistol which she had taken apart to clean, “if they had any chance of it; I think I heard that scrub Widdlow going on to Flowers about trying something of the sort.” Demane did not say anything, and she looked up. “Don’t be an ass,” she added, “it don’t work that way; ask Temeraire if he would have swapped Laurence, himself.”* Novik, Naomi.

## Description

Naomi Novik’s beloved Temeraire series, a brilliant combination of fantasy and history that reimagines the Napoleonic wars as fought with the aid of intelligent dragons, is a twenty-first-century classic. From the first volume, His Majesty’s Dragon, readers have been entranced by the globe-spanning adventures of the resolute Capt. William Laurence and his brave but impulsive dragon, Temeraire. Now, in Blood of Tyrants, the penultimate volume of the series, Novik is at the very height of her powers as she brings her story to its widest, most colorful canvas yet.

Shipwrecked and cast ashore in Japan with no memory of Temeraire or his own experiences as an English aviator, Laurence finds himself tangled in deadly political intrigues that threaten not only his own life but England’s already precarious position in the Far East. Age-old enmities and suspicions have turned the entire region into a powder keg ready to erupt at the slightest spark—a spark that Laurence and Temeraire may unwittingly provide, leaving Britain faced with new enemies just when they most desperately need allies instead.

For to the west, another, wider conflagration looms. Napoleon has turned on his former ally, the emperor Alexander of Russia, and is even now leading the largest army the world has ever seen to add that country to his list of conquests. It is there, outside the gates of Moscow, that a reunited Laurence and Temeraire—along with some unexpected allies and old friends—will face their ultimate challenge . . . and learn whether or not there are stronger ties than memory.

## Biography

from *Victory of Eagles*

He is the only senior officer to survive the sinking of the *Goliath*. He is not sure about what to do now as Lieutnant with the most seniority so Laurence helps him (he is still a prisonner) to give the correct orders.

*...and Lieutenant Frye, nineteen, the only one left to oversee; the rest of the senior officers were all dead.*Novik, Naomi. Victory of Eagles: A Novel of Temeraire (p. 41). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.
HMS Shorewise

As of 1791, the *Shorewise* was under the command of Captain Barstowe. As a 17-year-old lieutenant, it was William Laurence's first posting.

Barstowe was a coarse man who had risen through the ranks and was amply conscious of his own lack of social graces. He took out his frustrations on those who made him feel his own lack of upbringing, such as Laurence, whom he punished mercilessly.

Not much is known about the *Shorewise* herself, but she was most likely a sailing frigate rather than a ship of the line.
