Chenery

## Biography

Chenery is captain to Dulcia, one of Lily's formation, and was known for his high and cheerful spirits and thorough innocence of any sense of decorum.

### Loch Laggan covert

#### Africa

He ensured that the Chaplin, Britten, staid sober prior to Catherine Harcourt's and Tom Riley's marriage aboard the HMS Allegiance during the voyage home from Africa in August 1807.

Chenery was nearly hanged when he voiced his support for William Laurence and Temeraire's action to bring the cure for the dragon plague to France. The court was unable to find enough evidence that he was involved (he was not) and the Corps needed Dulcia.

### Background

Note: The events of the Battle are not described in the series, as the focus stays in Dover and on Laurence and Temeraire.

### Battle

Decisive British naval and aerial victory, led by Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson on the HMS Victory, over the combined Spanish and French fleets on October 21, 1805. The battle took place west of Cape Trafalgar in southwest Spain. The French and Spanish forces were commanded by Admiral Pierre Villeneuve from the Bucentaure.

The British forces had 27 ships of the line and 12 dragons, and the enemy forces had 33 ships and 10 dragons. Approximately half the dragons were Spanish, possibly reflecting Napoleon's plan to reserve his dragons for an aerial invasion of Britain, as he attempted shortly thereafter, leading to the Battle of Dover.

Nelson used two columns, breaking the enemy's line twice. The weather column, on the north, was supported by Excidium and Laetificat, with Mortiferus over the lee column on the south.

A Spanish fire-breather, the Flecha-del-Fuego, set the sails of the Victory on fire. Admiral Nelson was seriously injured by a falling sail, but Laetificat successfully drove the Spanish dragon away.

### Aftermath

The victory at Trafalgar came at a heavy price: approximately a thousand of the British forces were killed.

After Trafalgar, the British largely believed that Napoleon's hopes of invading Britain were finished. They did not anticipate his plan to launch an entirely aerial invasion, carrying troops across the Channel by dragon.

Caesar

by Haruchicken on DeviantArt

## Biography

Caesar is the son of Arkady and Wringe, both ferals from the Pamir Mountains that were recruited by Tharkay to assist the British in their fight against Napoleon.

### 1808 - 1809

From *Tongues of Serpents*

By the time the egg was laid, the British Aerial Corps had an over abundance of Dragon eggs, so when Laurence and Temeraire were exiled in 1808 to New South Wales in Terra Australis Caesar's egg and two others, that were also considered undesirable, were sent in their care, along with some of the less desirable Aviators.

As an egg, Caesar was placed under Temeraire's care by Arkady with specific instructions on the care of the egg, most importantly to ensure that its captain would be very rich. The egg were sent with Temeraire to Australia in 1808 on the transport ship HMS Allegiance.

Due to political pressure Jeremy Rankin was sent after them on the HMS Beatrice with orders to give him the next dragonet.

Temeraire was distressed at the prospect and told the egg about the mistreatment and death of Levitas, Rankin's first dragon. Temeraire suggested to Laurence that the pair of them should kidnap the egg and carry it away from Rankin, but the egg hatched before they could carry out this plan.

The dragonet had good conformation, with strong shoulders and dexterous front claws, and showed a strong self-willed streak from the start by tearing up the leather hood which Rankin had intended to throw over its head. While dismissing Temeraire's warnings about Levitas, it still interrogated Rankin about his status and prospects before accepting him as captain. It then rejected Rankin's proposed name of "Serenitus" and insisted on naming himself, considering "Conquistador" before deciding on "Caesar". (Iskierka was the only other dragon in the Aerial Corps previously known to choose its own name.)

Caesar's has a self-indulgent and greedy demeanor and from the beginning manipulated Rankin to get what he wanted including a gold trimmed harness. Rankin learned to consult Caesar for his opinion more often and did not neglect or abuse him as Caesar made it perfectly clear from the beginning that he would not tolerate a dirty harness.

Caesar shows little concern for anything other then what he wants and his own comfort. He is indifferent of the other two eggs that had been his shipmates aboard the *Allegiance*, and which Temeraire brought with them on the expedition. When Tharunka's egg was stolen by natives, he was uninterested in the ensuing search unlike Temeraire and Iskierka.

Shortly after Kulingile hatched from the last *Allegiance* egg, Caesar is in favor of letting him die, and often grumbled over sharing food and having to carry him. Later, after Kulingile's air sacs inflated properly, allowing him to fly and achieve a natural rate of growth, Caesar is in resentful denial of being outgrown.

John Macarthur mentioned to Temeraire that he would have a private word with Caesar to help convince Rankin to stay at the Sydney covert, instead of leaving with the deposed governor Macquarie.
Dragon Myth Book

At an unknown date, the dragon expert Sir Edward Howe tranlated a selection of dragon tales from Asia and collected them in a book along with his notes on the origins of the stories. The book was published in 1805 under an unknown title, One copy being sent to the Celestial dragon Temeraire.

This article contains what is believed to be the stories mentioned.

## Story of the Yellow Emperor

* Known Plot:
* Story: Historical
* Real World Equivalent:

## Story of Raiden

* Known Plot:
* Story: Historical

## Story of Xiao Sheng

* Known Plot: A story in which a minister to the Emperor of China swallows a pearl from the treasury, and becomes a dragon himself.
* Story: Mythical
* Real-World Equivalent: The story of Xiao Sheng is a well-known Chinese tale, except in the myth Xiao Sheng is a peasant boy who discovers the pearl beside a river, buried in an area of grass that always remains green.

## Story of "the Dragon who made it rain during the drought"

* Known Plot: A story mentioned by Temeraire, where a dragon made it rain during a drought by carrying water in his mouth.
* Story: Mythical
* Real-World Equivalent: Presumably, this story refers to the Chinese folk tale "The Four Dragons" [1], in which four dragons make it "rain" over parched land, by carrying water in their mouths. However, this is open defiance of the commands of the Jade Emperor, who had previously ordered them to do nothing, and he tells another god to drop a mountain on each dragon. In a final act, the dragons turn into rivers, nourishing the land forevermore.

It should be noted that, while clearly mythological in our world, in the Temeraire universe, parts of this story may have actually happened to some extent.

Grogler

## Description

Groglers have translucent, jelly-like tentacles. They posses a small core tentacle which is made of iridescent jelly around a neon pink vein. When killed, Grogler's outer bodies collapse into liquid leaving their core tentacle behind. The core tentacle can sometimes survive the destruction of the outer body. If it's tentacles are cut off, several grow back in the lost tentacle's place. Groglers are not known for long-term strategy.

The third chapter of the freshman-year textbook for maleficaria studies contains an illustration of a Grogler's core tentacle.

## How To Kill

Killed by using freezing spells, or by finding any way to freeze it. It cannot be killed by using blunt force weapons or fire; attacking by destroying tentacles can make it more powerful. It can be temporarily hurt with electricity based spells.

## Appearances

El stops a massive Grogler trying to rip open a staircase near the shop, which would let mals from the Graduation Hall enter the school, after Orion spends several minutes hacking at it. The core tentacle escapes back into the Graduation Hall. Orion mistakes the Grogler for a hydra-class mal due to it's unusually massive size.

## Notes

Chapter 10 of A Deadly Education is titled Grogler.

her work for Temeraire and many other subjects can be found at Anke Eissmann

From her website concerning her Temeraier art work (this is just a part of her comments):

*I was lucky to receive a commission from Subterranean Press to illustrate limited editions of His Majesty's Dragon and Throne of Jade, consisting of four full-colour illustrations plus a fifth for a special lettered edition. More information can be found at their website. The illustrations can be found below.*

*Following this commission, I also created the illustrations for Black Powder War, which is due for publication late in 2008. Two of my paintings for this book can be found at the publisher's website by clicking on the title above. They are entitled "Inside Topkapi Palace" and "Iskierka". In due course I will post the rest of the artwork on my site as well.*

*I'm particularly touched and pleased by the author's comment on my artwork, as posted on the publisher's website:*

> “I keep getting so incredibly lucky in all the artists who have worked on Temeraire, both pro and fan artists. Anke’s work is such a completely different and beautiful style, something that for me evokes the antique illustrated books we had at home when I was young, all heavy textured paper and rich watercolors, and this feel of glimpses through a window into moments of the narrative, particular scenes brought to life. It was really amazing to discover her through her work in the Temeraire wiki, and her work for the books is even more spectacular.”

He proved to be extremely competent.

Dragon Transport Ship

The dragon transport ships are specially designed ships to carry dragons; their bows are taken up by a huge Dragondeck, used for the landing and housing of the dragons. The decks are heated from below by the presence of the galley, but offer no additional shelter from the elements.

The dragon transports were appox. 400 hundred feet long, bore 4-5 masts and 150 guns, and could carry 100 1/2 tons.

Often the dragon transport ships had to wait in the open sea for weeks or months as rest and supplying platforms for the travelling dragons. When used in this way, the transports could be considered stepping stones across large bodies of water that a dragon would not usually have the endurance to traverse.

Captaincy of a ship of this class was not usually considered to be a high honour. During the 18th and early 19th century dragons were considered to be dangerous beast of low intelligence despite their ability to talk, and close proximity to them as could be expected on a Dragon Transport was avoided. In addition, as Dragon Transports are large ponderous craft, it was rare for them to be in a position to claim foreign ships as prizes. This meant that the prize monies that crews of fighting ships earned were rare for the officers and crews of transports, further lowering their desirability.

There are at least seven in the class, including HMS Allegiance, HMS Potentate, HMS William of Orange, and HMS Lyonesse.

## Overview

The ***HMS Neptun*** was a big British ship that sunk in the Battle of Shoeburyness. It fired desperately it's guns before sinking. It is named after the roman god of the ocean.
Dragon Council

The council of dragons which solved dragon disputes in the Pen Y Fan Breeding Grounds consisted of all the largest dragons and the resident Longwing, Gentius.

## Overview

It was supposed to prevent fights between dragons over caves and other resources. It did this by evaluating each dragon's flying skills and fighting abilities, then awarding the disputed resource to the dragon it considered more deserving.

In theory, any dragon involved in a dispute with another had a right for the council to decide the matter. In practice, the standards that the council used to decide disputes tended to favour the larger dragons, i.e., the ones on the council. The middle-sized and smaller dragons, although ruled by the council, did not have any representation on it.

Its exact size is unclear, yet Moncey refers to a "dozen heavy-weights" when talking to Temeraire about the council. As Majestatis, a large mid-weight is said to theoretically have a right to be part of the council, some heavier mid-weights may also be a part of it. Their number is however unknown.

## Contextual analysis

Although this may seem undemocratic by 21st century standards, it was in fact hardly less democratic than the system of government among British humans at that time. In most districts, men could not vote unless they owned some minimal amount of real or personal property, and of course women could not vote at all. (See Reform Act 1932.) The system favoured the upper classes at the expense of the middle and working classes.

Thus William Laurence, the son of a lord, became indignant when Tharkay suggested that "a hundred corrupt members of Parliament" might be worse than one absolute despot. Tharkay, who had quite a different experience of British justice and British society than Laurence, noted that, "It is quixotic of [the French] to have chosen to be unjust to the noble and the rich, in favour of the common; but it does not seem to me to be naturally worse."

Temeraire, who argued before the council at Pen Y Fan that he ought to have the same rights even if he were as small as Minnow, might well agree with at least the principle of Tharkay's statement.

## Known Members

* Ballista
* Gentius
* Requiescat

* Majestatis is not on the council, but only because he does not want to be. He is a Parnassian and according to Minnow would thus have every right to be.

Ballista

Default image

Ballista is one of the dragons living at the Pen Y Fan Breeding Grounds, where she acts as chair of the Dragon Council. She is initially rather condescending to Temeraire and persistently mispronounced his name, but she began to treat him with more respect after he demonstrated the Divine Wind for the Council.

Ballista left the breeding grounds to fight Napoleon's invading troops in Temeraire's regiment. She uses her barbed tail not only as a weapon but also to dig trenches in the ground for the army.

Along with Majestatis, she is very good at managing the other unharnessed dragons. Because of that she gets an epaulette and the rank of captain.

## Overview

Grey Coppers are a light combat-weight dragon used in formation fighting. They are a greenish-grey color.

The use of the word "Copper" in its name suggests that this breed of Dragon is related to both the Bright Copper and Regal Copper breeds. Since the use of the word "Grey" is also linked to the Grey Widowmaker, it is likely that this breed was achieved through the mating of a Bright Copper (presumably a middle-weight breed) and either a Grey Widowmaker or a Greyling (both light-weights).

## 1812 - 1813

From *League of Dragons*

Latinius, a Grey Copper from Fidelitas' formation, almost ended up with a wing fouled due to Iskierka's carelessness during a battle.

Seven Grey Coppers were among the dragons flying with Temeraire when the French attacked Dresden.

## Biography

### Early Life

Arjun's family was rich, but they didn't have the numbers or power to create an enclave. They came from a strict-mana hindu enclave that was destroyed during the raj, one of the ancient original Golden Stones enclaves made by Purochana. The family chose to continue following the tenants of the destroyed enclave, refusing to eat meat or pull malia of any sort. Arjun was raised with these beliefs.

### A Deadly Education

Arjun dies long before the book begins. Over the course of the story, El gives more and more information about him.

Arjun and Gwen Higgins began dating in senior year. They didn't exchange information on where the other lived or on their families because they both believed 'love would lead the way.'

During Graduation, Arjun sacrificed himself to save Gwen--who was pregnant with El at the time--from a maw-mouth. He was able to tell Gwen that he loved her and their unborn child before being killed.

### The Last Graduate

Arjun was the favorite of his great great grandmother, Deepthi Sharma, the matriarch of the Sharma family.

### The Golden Enclaves

Gwen explains to El that she and Arjun, their senior year in the Scholomance, cast a summoning for the Golden Stone sutras from the library, and left the payment open, because they wanted to show the world a better way; she says they always assumed it just didn't work, until she sees El with the sutras, and realizes that they have been paying the whole time: Arjun's suffering in the maw-mouth, and her life raising El alone, and even El's affinity for mass destruction itself.

Deepthi says that Arjun always dreamed of living in a golden enclave again, even as a boy, and that he understood Deepthi's gift, and that of all the futures she saw, there weren't any where he wouldn't have loved El's mother or given his life to save her.

David Miles

He is a slaver and partner of George Case from Liverpool, England.

He saves 200 slaves into the forest when Capetown is attacked by the Tswana. He is understandably upset when Laurence frees the slaves. When they see the aviators he expects them to help him round up any missing slaves and bring them to safety, instead Laurence liberates the slaves.

After Laurence is convicted of treason, Miles and Case sue him for damages, as in the cost of the slaves that Laurence set free. They were awarded all of Laurence's remaining funds.

## Overview

Allen

Allen is a young lookout for Temeraire, barely twelve years old in late 1805. He is a cadet when William Laurence first adds him to the crew, but soon makes ensign. He travels with the rest of the crew to China and to Africa.

### 1805 - 1806

from *Throne of Jade*

Allen is notable for his clumsiness, which never *quite* managed to get him killed. Keynes's frequent reprimands suggest that he becomes nauseous easily and on at least one occasion he has to be reprimanded by Lt. Ferris for attempting to bring a flask of liquor aboard.

### 1806

from *Black Powder War*

During Iskierka's hatching, when Temeraire realizes that he is about to lose his first lieutenant, John Granby, to be captain to the hatchling, he suggests giving the hatchling to Allen instead.

### 1807 - 1808

from *Victory of Eagles*

When Laurence is convicted of treason in late 1807, all of Temeraire's crew members are reassigned. Allen is assigned not to another dragon, but to the clerks. When Laurence - technically still under a death sentence - and Temeraire rejoins the Aerial Corps during Napoleon's occupation of Britain, Allen is one of the few former crew members who returns. Despite his clumsiness, he is determined to serve on the front lines.

Brodin

Template:People

## Biography

Brodin is Felicita's captain, a Welshman by birth. He has dark hair, and knows how to play chess.

*Empire of Ivory*

*“She is so damned happy to be of use, I could weep,” said Felicita’s captain Brodin, a dark-haired Welshman not many years older than Laurence, with a craggy face which looked made for the grim and brooding lines into which it had presently settled.*Novik, Naomi. Empire of Ivory: A Novel of Temeraire. (Part I, Ch. 5) Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

*...then Brodin stood restlessly up and paced his small cabin. “I would as soon he came across while some of us still can fight, if only I could give more than ninepence for our chances if he did.”* Novik, Naomi. Empire of Ivory: A Novel of Temeraire. (Part I, Ch. 5) Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

*...end?” Brodin laughed unpleasantly and short. “Obversaria scarcely knew Lenton, by the end, and he took her out of the shell with his own hands. She could only cry for water, and for rest, and he could give her none. You may think me a heathen dog if you like: I would thank God or Bonaparte or the black Devil himself for giving her a clean death in battle.” Novik, Naomi. Empire of Ivory: A Novel of Temeraire. (Part I, Ch. 5) Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.*

*...on the fifth day, while he sat lumpen and considering the chessboard dully, Brodin raised his head and said to Laurence abruptly, “Has he not yet begun to cough?”* Novik, Naomi. Empire of Ivory: A Novel of Temeraire. (Part I, Ch. 5) Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

It was Brodin's observations that Temeraire was still not starting to sicken, that made Laurence shake out his lethargy and realize that Temeraire wasn't going to sicken with the plague.
Dover covert

The Dover covert was the largest covert in Britain, covering approximately one hundred acres, and perhaps the most critically located. It was the second of the Aerial Corps coverts where Temeraire was stationed, when Lily's formation was sent here after Mortiferus left for Cadiz in July 1805.

At that time, Admiral Lenton was the commander-in-chief of the Channel Division, which put him in charge of the Dover covert. However, after Lenton's dragon Obversaria died in the Dragon Plague in 1806, Lenton himself suffered a stroke. He was retired to less demanding duties at the Edinburgh covert.

Jane Roland was then given the rank of admiral and command of the Dover covert. The Admiralty would have preferred not to give this post to a woman. However, Captain Portland would not leave his post at Gibraltar, as his dragon Laetificat was also ill and could no longer make the sea voyage back to Britain. This left the Admiralty with a choice between Roland and Sanderson, and Sanderson was handling the illness of his Animosia quite badly.

Quite aside from its strategic importance, the Dover covert was attractive to the aviators stationed there because its proximity to the city of Dover allowed them access to various sorts of entertainment, ranging from theatres and concerts to prostitutes and cheap liquor.

Grig

by laurelhach23

## 1811

from *Blood of Tyrants*

Grig is a light-weight dragon in the service of Ivan Rozhkov and Vosyem, of the Twenty-Sixth Regiment of the Air. He fetches Vosyem water and does her bidding, as was the way in Russian coverts; small dragons were like servants to the large ones, who never leave their treasure.

Temeraire notes that Grig has a "narrow white head, arrow shaped". Grig's flock are described as white or grey and all are planted with steel rings.

He is friendly and can speak French, allowing him to converse with Temeraire.
