## Biography

Mr. Blincoln was Jeremy Rankin's second choice of aviators to harness the egg that would be Kulingile, but like the others he backed away when he saw the dragon was deformed.

Later, when it was clear Kulingile would survive and become a heavy-weight, he attempted to win the dragon's affections away from Demane. The two aviators came to argued and when Blincoln struck Demane, Kulingile flew into a rage, nearly crushing Blincoln. Dorset treated him for several broken ribs after he was nearly crushed under Kulingile's weight.

Grandby - *That fellow Blincoln is pleased with himself if he manages to round up half-a-dozen men to put away harness in good order;...*Novik, Naomi. Tongues of Serpents: A Novel of Temeraire (p. 80). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

Lietenant Blincoln went on the trip to the Interior because the of the Eggs. He helped to oversee the Convict members of the expedition.

Rankin - *Mr. Drewmore, I trust you are ready to stand the duty? Mr. Blincoln, I believe you are next in seniority, should Mr. Drewmore fail to secure the hatchling; you will prepare yourself as well.”*Novik, Naomi.

*“Oh, I am hungry,” the dragonet said, in a small piping voice which sounded very much as though it were being whistled through a reed; but none of the aviators moved. Drewmore and Blincoln shifted uneasily, and looked at Forthing, who already had edged back away. They, too, stepped back, from the hatchling, and a general uneasy silence began.*Novik, Naomi.

*Blincoln did not look over, but in a low voice suggested, as he put out a hand to stroke Kulingile’s side, that perhaps the dragonet would like another captain, with a proper rank and standing in the Corps, who might provide for him not only raw meat but the chance at real service.* Novik, Naomi.

*Blincoln said, “I hope,” with an air of stuffy superciliousness, “Mr. Demane, that you have better sense than to indulge in histrionics and unreasonable expectations: no heavy-weight can be managed by a young boy. Your passion is understandable, however, and I am sure if you should demonstrate perhaps some more sense—some cooperation—that you will find it a good foundation for future expectations, and a more steady and rational advancement in the Corps—”* Novik, Naomi.

**Crucible of Gold**

*“Mr. Blincoln,” Laurence said, interrupting him, “I have no complaint to make of your manner towards me under the previous circumstances; if any apology on that score is merited, you may consider it accepted if you wish. I should by far be more inclined to hire a man who had abused me to my face, for a just conviction, than one who has to my own certain knowledge and further credible report behaved in an outrageous and underhanded fashion towards a young officer, friendless and without that defense which he ought have had from your superiors, and knowingly and with selfish intent interfered with the rearing of a beast not his own.”* Novik, Naomi.
