Milliways Dossier: William Blakeney

History

  • HMS Surprise, naval officer serving under Captain Aubrey
  • Lost right arm, presumably in combat, presumably recently
  • Fighting the French under King George in 1805 - just pre-Battle of Tralfalgar?
  • Blond hair, blue eyes, young but not a youth

Impressions

  • Threat Level: LOW - Could probably shoot me? Maybe? Probably wouldn't
  • Drawing a "phasmid" - stick-like insect to train left hand
  • Dr. Maturin offered him space in his study
  • "Most of Europe are fighting the French. Or is that forgotten?" - ha! he probably has a wicked sense of humor
  • Seems loyal

Weaknesses

  • Learning how to manage his arm, probably sensitive in all senses of the word

Scabs

  • At what age did he ship out?
  • Does he like his job?
  • Where is he, time-wise?
  • What's his name?

Opportunities

  • Learning about life on the high seas, to borrow the cliché
