Adcock.
RMN Vice Admiral of the Green, the head of the Weapons Development Board, [IEH]; and Fourth Space Lord. [AOV] He is a native of Maslow and migrated to Manticore too late for prolong treatment. He graduated eighth in his academy class. At the age of one hundred fourteen, he is too old for a space-going command but his mind is still first-class. He often asks line officers for opinions on proposed weapons systems, without the knowledge of other WDB members. [IEH, Ch. 12] He sold Admiral Danvers on the idea of building HMS Minotaur to test the CLAC concept. [EOH]

Notes:
"...Vice Admiral of the Green Jonas Adcock, the Bureau of Weapons' commanding officer, was one of the RMN's characters. He was also one of the Navy's very few senior officers who had never received prolong, for he and his family had immigrated to the Star Kingdom from Maslow, a planet as technically backward as Pre-Alliance Grayson. Adcock had been too old to accept prolong when he arrived, but there hadn't been anything wrong with his brain. He'd graduated eighth in his Academy class, despite not having encountered a modern educational system until he was nineteen T-years old, and his career had been distinguished. Now, at an age of just over a hundred and fourteen, he was far too physically frail ever to hold a spacegoing command again, but there was still nothing wrong with his brain. He'd taken over BuWeaps eleven years before, just in time for the war, and he'd been an aggressive dynamo ever since. Indeed, he was probably the largest single reason that rationalized versions of the jeune école's proposals were beginning to come off the drawing boards as useable hardware.
Honor had enjoyed several far-ranging discussions with him while she'd been assigned to the Weapons Development Board, and she'd been impressed by his ability to think outside the boxes. She also liked and respected him, and, looking back with the advantage of what McKeon had just said, she realized he'd picked her brain on current operational problems even more thoroughly than she'd realized at the time. But he'd never suggested that he maintained an unofficial network of evaluators...." [IEH, Ch. 12]

Alexander, Lord X____, 12th Earl of White Haven.

Description of Appearance:
" ...Father isn't taking the winter very well..."
"...Alexander's father, the Twelfth Earl of White Haven, was almost sixty-four years old—over a hundred and ten T-years—and his had been the last pre-prolong generation. He could not have many winters left..."
[ —Mention of his health at beginning of Chapter 12, OBS]

.

Alexander, Lord Hamish, 13th Earl of White Haven, Admiral White Haven.
RMN Admiral of the Green, brother of Lord William Alexander and husband of Lady Emily Alexander. [OBS] He and Admiral Kuzak have been friends since childhood. Shortly after his wife’s accident, he and Kuzak had a brief affair because she sensed he needed the strength and support. [FOD] He translated Gustav Anderman’s Sternkrieg. From his flagship HMS Reliant, he leads the task force from Manticore that comes to the assistance of Grayson and prevents the loss of HMS Fearless (CA-286). [HOTQ] He shifts his flag to HMS Sphinx. [SVW] He is named President of Captain Lord Pavel Young’s court martial. He commands Task Force 4, part of the Home Fleet. His flagship is HMS Queen Caitrin. At the time, only nine RMN active duty officers are senior to him. He makes orders Honor Harrington not to challenge Earl North Haven to a duel. After she defies him and kills North Haven, he regrets having given an illegal order and one he knew would be ignored even if legal. [FOD] He leads the primary offensive against the PN, being finally checked in the Nightingale System. [FIE] He continues his drive on Trevor’s Star and considers making a direct attack despite his reputation as a master of the indirect approach. He also manages to incorporate certain ideas of the jeune ecole despite his distaste for it. [HAE] He is given command of Eighth Fleet, to be activated in the Yeltsin’s Star System with GNS Benjamin the Great as his flagship. At the time, he is ninety-three T-years old. He is deeply respected by the Graysons as the victor of the Third Battle of Yeltsin and the conqueror of Masada. At one time he served as Third Space Lord. While being chastised by Honor Harrington for narrow thinking, he has a brief realization of how attracted he is to her, an emotion that comes through to her through her link with Nimitz. As a result, when she is captured, he feels guilty that he may have driven her off Grayson. [IEH] By the time of her funeral, he is sure he is the reason. When word of the attack on the Basilisk System is received, he orders Eighth Fleet to re-deploy from Trevor’s Star to Basilisk via the Manticore Wormhole Junction. He arrives just in time to prevent further damage and to inflict severe casualties on the attackers. [EOH] When Harrington returns to Trevor’s Star, he is glad she is wearing the uniform of a Grayson admiral so he can greet her as an equal. [AOV] Because of the mutual hatred between him and Sir Edward Janacek, he is placed on half-pay. He and Harrington realize they love each other but do nothing about it because of their mutual respect for Lady Emily. The High Ridge government, in an attempt to neutralize their influence, starts a rumor campaign that they are lovers. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that Samantha adopts him. Acting on intelligence that she sends him directly, he travels to Grayson to arrange for the GSN to reinforce Trevor’s Star. Using the Manticoran Wormhole Junction on an emergency priority basis, they arrive just in time to discourage Admiral Giscard from pressing his attack. Following the fall of the High Ridge government, he is made First Lord of the Admiralty. Lady Emily, after extensive discussions with Samantha, gives her blessings to him and Harrington acting on their love for each other. [WOH]

Description of Appearance:
"...tall, dark-haired... ...rugged face... "
"Hamish Alexander was forty-seven—just over eighty standard years old—himself, though he looked less than a third his father's age, but there were fresh worry lines around his eyes and a few new strands of white at his temples." [OBS, Ch. 12]
"...a broad-shouldered man a centimeter taller than Honor..." [FOD, Epilogue]
"...The earl was ninety T-years old, though in a pre-prolong society he would have been taken for no more than a very well preserved forty, and even that would have been only because of the white stranded through his black hair. But there were new lines around his ice-blue eyes..." [HAE, Ch. 1]

Description/Note:
"...Whatever his own life expectancy, he'd grown up in a society where people still died after little more than a T-century, and at the deepest levels, the assumptions of that earlier society remained a part of his mental baggage. At ninety-two, anyone as young as Honor Harrington still seemed a child to him, and the fact that her own third-generation treatments froze the aging process at a far earlier point only made it worse. He at least had streaks of white in his hair and what he preferred to think of as "character lines" around his eyes, whereas she looked like a pre-prolong nineteen or twenty!..." [IEH, Ch. 1]

Brigham, Mercedes.
RMN and GSN officer. She is a native of Gryphon. [FOD] As a lieutenant, ship’s master in HMS Fearless (CL-56). [OBS] As an RMN lieutenant commander, executive officer in HMS Troubadour. She survives the ship’s destruction and is captured by the Masadans. At Blackbird Base, she is repeatedly gang raped and severely beaten when she defends herself and suffers a number of broken bones and internal injuries.

Description of Appearance:
Lieutenant Mercedes Brigham sat facing Blanding, as if she'd been placed deliberately to accentuate the contrast between them. Blanding was young and fair; Brigham was almost old enough to be Honor's mother, with dark, weathered-looking skin. She was Fearless's sailing master, a position that was being rapidly phased out of the service, but she seemed unconcerned by the fact. She'd never caught the attention to rise above lieutenant, yet her comfortable, lived-in face normally wore an air of quiet competence, though she had to know she would never advance beyond her present rank after so long in grade. And if she was as withdrawn as the others, at least she didn't seem physically afraid of her captain. [__?__]

"...Mercedes Brigham was a native of Gryphon. She was also a second-generation prolong recipient and old enough to be Honor's mother, which meant her black hair was stranded with white, and, despite over half a century in space, her dark skin still wore the weathered look of her birth world's climate. She'd never been beautiful, but her comfortable, lived-in face was attractive...." [FIE, Ch. 10]

Although true to the PRH and SS, he is disgusted with Durkheim’s tactics and disapproves of him. During the rescue, he kills the entire unit of SS and Scrags who are supposedly there to assist him. [COWf] Oscar Saint-Just assigns him to investigate the murder of People’s Commissioner Jamka. After Admiral Theisman’s coup, he has himself placed under arrest pending the new government’s determination of his status.

He and Lieutenant Palane discover that they are very attracted to each other.

Although not the intellectual or strategic equal of Admiral White Haven, he has a stolid personality and is more ideally suited to overall command of the RMN.

(placeholder image)

Cardones, Rafael.
RMN officer. As a lieutenant (j.g.), assistant tactical officer in HMS Fearless (CL-56). [OBS] He was awarded the Order of Gallantry and the Monarch’s Thanks for his actions at Basilisk. As a lieutenant, the tactical officer in HMS Fearless (CA-286). [HOTQ] He is temporarily detached to the Office of Naval Intelligence’s Tech Team Four to work on a new weapon that seems to be a super grav lance. To save Fearless, against orders, he brings up the wedge on their ship, an action that succeeds as a tactical ploy. [SOTSw] As a lieutenant commander, the tactical officer in HMS Nike. [FOD] As a commander, executive officer in HMAMC Wayfarer. [HAE] He is promoted to captain (j.g.). He marches at the head of the horses pulling the caisson in Honor Harrington’s funeral procession. [EOH] He commands a CLAC during Operation Buttercup. [AOV] As captain (senior grade), he commands HMS Werewolf as Admiral Honor Harrington’s flag captain. [WOH]

Description of Appearance:
"...a tall, dark-haired commander walked through it. He was built on long and lean lines, with a hawk-like nose and a ready smile. The breast of his tunic bore the white-barred blue ribbon of the Order of Gallantry and the red and white ribbon of the Saganami Cross, and, like Honor herself, the blood-red stripe of the Monarch's Thanks marked his right sleeve. He looked decidedly on the young side, even for a prolong recipient, to have acquired two of the Star Kingdom's four top medals for valor, and even as Honor rose in pure delight, her mind's eye could still see the awkward puppy of a junior-grade lieutenant she'd taken to Basilisk Station with her just eight years before....
...For all his youth, Rafael Cardones was one of the best tactical officers she'd ever seen, and he'd clearly gone right on maturing in the time she'd spent in Yeltsin...." [HAE, Ch. 6]
"...golden-haired..." [HAE, Ch. 14]

(SG: Atlantis)

Caslet, Warner.
PN citizen commander, captain of PNS Vaubon. [FIE] He is a native of Danville in the Paroa System. [EOH] He firmly believes in the necessity of destroying particularly vicious pirates even though they might prey on Manticoran shipping. He orders the Vaubon to assist what he believes is a freighter. When it turns out to be RMAMC Wayfarer, he is forced to surrender. Although a technically a POW, Honor Harrington treats him as an honored guest. [HAE] Because he was captured because he followed orders he could not be shot. He is assigned as Citizen Admiral Theisman’s operations officer at Barnett, something Theisman interprets as another indication that he is expendable. He is ordered aboard PNS Tepes to be PN liaison with the RMN prisoners and is visiting them when Horace Harkness leads the breakout. He is forced to accompany them and is among the group that escapes to Hades. [IEH] He realizes that because of the circumstances, he can never return to the PRH. This is reinforced after listening to Admiral Parnell (Amos Daughtry). Although Harrington wanted to give him command of one of the captured ships but felt too many ex-prisoners would not want to serve under a former PN officer. She makes him executive officer in ENS (ex-PNS) Farnese. [EOH] He retains his PN uniform until he reaches Manticore. His defection hurts Theisman but he understands it. As a member of the Elysian Space Navy he is accepted into the GSN Protector’s Own and promoted to captain. [AOV] He commands its First Battle Squadron. [WOH]

Clausel, Regina.
Newsy with the Landing Guardian. She has been one for almost fifty T-years and has been an operative of the Liberal Party for thirty-five. She appears on four different political issue-oriented programs and her column appears in many newsfaxes. She writes a column that, while not condemning Honor Harrington and Earl White Haven for their alleged relationship, makes them both look very bad. It prepares the way for far more savage attacks on them. [WOH]

Description of Appearance:
"...a husky young man.... ...cursed with the fair, freckled complexion that went with his dark red hair and green eyes. He was enormously tall for a Grayson—at a hundred and ninety centimeters, he was taller than Honor herself, which was a claim very few Graysons could make—but he was also only twenty-one T-years old. He never seemed entirely certain what to do with his hands and feet, and he was agonizingly aware of Honor's reputation and rank . . . which only made his lingering, puppylike awkwardness worse. In many ways, he reminded her of young Aubrey Wanderman, a grav tech from her last ship... ...the physical antithesis of Jared Sutton, her last flag lieutenant, his lingering shyness and determination to get things right—eventually—reminded her almost too strongly of Jared." [IEH, Ch. 7]
"...The ensign's broad shoulders..." [IEH, Ch. 9]
"...Clinkscales' fair redhead's complexion had not reacted well to Hell's climate.... ...he hadn't burned—yet—but he tended to stay an alarming, heat-induced beet-red which looked fairly awesome on someone his size. At a hundred and ninety centimeters, he was a good two centimeters taller than Honor, which made him a veritable giant for a Grayson...." [EOH, Ch. 11]

[COWm] He is a childless bachelor. He is appointed to head the diplomatic mission to conclude a treaty with Grayson and is killed when GSNS Austin Grayson is destroyed during the Masadans initial attack on Grayson. [HOTQ] According to Admiral White Haven, he considered Harrington the daughter he never had. [FOD] Among the things he was fond of saying was, “Almost invariably, ‘surprise’ is what happens when one side fails to recognize something it’s seen all along.” When Admiral White Haven was a fourth term midshipman, Courvoisier was his senior tactical officer. [EOH] Captain Bachfisch considers him the finest tactician and one of the three best strategists with whom he has ever served. [COWm] He came to Lieutenant commander Harrington’s assistance after she broke up a slave depot on Casimir. To save her career he twisted several arms of members of the Conservative Association.

Elizabeth III,
Queen. Queen of the Star Kingdom of Manticore for forty years at the time of the First Battle of Hancock. Her full name is Elizabeth Angelique Samantha Annette Winton (or: Elizabeth Adrienne Samantha Annette Winton [AOV, Ch. 6]). On a visit to Sphinx she was adopted by a treecat she named Ariel. [FOD] She is the daughter of King Roger III and Queen Adrienne. [EOH] Because she was born in the same years as Basilisk was annexed, she is the Duchess of Basilisk. She met Justin Zyrr when she was sixteen and was touring his research lab. He yelled at her for entering a restricted area. They then sent letters of apology that crossed in the mail. She contacted him and they began dating. When she learned that her father had been assassinated, she wanted to take personal action against the conspirators. She was convinced that it was in her and the Star Kingdom’s best interest to handle it quietly. [WOHq] They subsequently married and have two children, Crown Prince Roger and Princess Joanna. It is said that she holds grudges until they die of old age and then she takes them to a taxidermist to have them stuffed. [AOV] Her name among the People is Soul of Steel. [COWc] When Baron High Ridge asks to form a government of national unity as a result of Operation Bolthole, she becomes the first Monarch to refuse such a request. [WOH]

Description of Appearance:
"...a smile so wide it might almost be called a grin. Against Elizabeth's mahogany skin, the white teeth gleamed brightly...." [CoS, Ch. 1]
"..."Her hair's not really right, for starters. Very wavy, true, but not much like the tightly kinked hair found in ancient times among most of the tropical ethnic variants. Then, her facial features—especially the nose—are much closer to those which our ancestors would have labeled by the term 'Caucasian' than the term 'Negroid.' And while her skin color is indeed quite lustrous, it's really not the tone you would have found among Africans of the day. It's too light, for one thing, and for another, that definite mahogany tinge is really closer to that of a dark-skinned 'Amerindian'—that was a term used for North American indigenes—than an African...."

Fontein, Erasmus.
PRH citizen general, the people’s commissioner assigned to Citizen Vice Admiral McQueen. [AOV] He was a major in Internal Security under the Legislaturists. He assisted in the planning of the Harris assassination and was subsequently promoted to State Sec citizen brigadier. [FIE] He hides behind the mask of being an incompetent. He is taken by surprise by McQueen having prepared contingency plans to deal with a threat such as the one posed by the Levelers. [IEH] He is slightly injured in the crash of her pinnace during the Leveler coup, suffering a broken and dislocated pinkie. [MTHw] Oscar Saint-Just considers him the most thoughtful people’s commissioner other than Eloise Pritchart. [COWn] Saint-Just orders him to begin building a “paper-trail” to use against her when the time comes. He is killed during her attempted coup. [AOV]

Description of Appearance:
"...Fontein smiled at her with his habitual air of slight befuddlement over all things naval, and the satisfaction it woke in her eyes irritated him. He no more enjoyed being thought a fool—especially by someone who hid it so poorly—than the next man. On the other hand, he'd worked hard to convince McQueen he was only one more ignorant Prole who'd risen to his level of incompetence, and he had no intention of revealing how well he actually understood her command's routine operations . . . or how much more thoroughly than she he understood her mission and its implications.

State Security had selected Erasmus Fontein carefully for McQueen's commissioner, though Citizen Secretary Saint-Just had disliked letting him go. Fontein was a wizened little man who looked like someone's harmless uncle, but appearances were deceiving...." [FIE, Ch. 15]

"...Fontein was one of the best StateSec had, yet he looked like a complete incompetent. ...Fontein had taken pains to convince her he was almost as inept as he looked. ...His report had been scathingly self-honest, fully admitting that he'd been taken totally by surprise. ...but Fontein was a professional. He'd made certain his superiors recognized the implications...." [IEH, Ch. 6]

He was also deeply and darkly tanned—thanks, no doubt, to the rehab camp to which Bassingford Medical Center's physical therapists had sent him to complete his recovery.

Gryphon (accent).
WEBMASTER's NOTE: The planet of Gryphon is not really a "character", but the accent of the people from Manticore versus those from Gryphon versus those from Sphinx does sometimes approach the level of being a character all on its own; thus the listing here instead of only at each half of the "Honor Harrington Concordance".

"...Gryphon had the smallest population of any of the Manticore System's inhabited planets (which, inhabitants of Sphinx and Manticore declared, was because only lunatics would live on a world with Gryphon's climate)..." [HAE, Ch. 7]

The accent can be described as: ______________________________.

"Technically, Manticore-B V, one of the settled worlds of the Star Kingdom of Manticore. It is somewhat like Old Earth. [OBS] The day is __.__ standard hours long, the year is ___.__ local days long, ___.__ T-days or _.__ T-years long. Its diameter is __,___ kilometers and has an axial tilt of ____ degrees."
