Educator, Collector of Books. Was Boudica's tutor.

Dr. John Dee
Age: 32
Scholar, collector of books, mathematician, map maker.

Morwenna Llewellyn
Head of the Llewellyn Family, one of the most powerful members of Council.
Unable to have children herself, she is very fond of Pawl, and ambitious for him. She encourages him to woo Boudica, and when it is clear that Bayezid is more to Boudica's taste Morwenna suggests that Pawl accompany Bayezid on his ship as it joins Drake to defend against the Iberian invasion. She suggests that plenty of accidents can happen at sea.This ultimately leads to Pawl's death when the Iberian flagship explodes he is struck by flying timber.
Age: 59

Madog Llewellyn
Younger brother of Morwenna. Generally amiable. Madog likes nothing better than hunting, fishing and running his farm. Likes a quiet life so is generally led by Morwenna, going along with her schemes.
Age: 48

Pawl Llewellyn
Son of Madog, friend of Dafydd Morus. Pawl is somewhat narcissistic, thinking very well of himself. He is well built, an excellent warrior and popular with many women. His own education was rather good, but he affects to despise book learning.
Age: 24

Sir Francis Drake
Age: 43
Given command of the fleet to tackle the Iberian Invasion force. Privateer, adventurer. Is friendly with John Dee and Brian Peters as they are both keen on maps and improving their accuracy.

Bayezid
Son of Suleiman the Magnificent. Bayezid is handsome, intelligent and provides romantic interest for Boudica. She clearly likes him, and will flirt with him once she has got to know him a little. Their shared love of knowledge gives them a lot to talk about. She will not marry him, but he is not deterred and continues to press his suite. His brother tries to strangle him, apparently on the orders of his father. Bayezid kills Selim, having been warned by Carrick's premonition.
He puts his three ships under Drake to defend the realm against the invasion force, and captains one of them himself. Pawl goes with him. Bayezid sees Pawl's rivalry for Boudica as friendly, and is easy going about it, believing correctly that Boudica favours him.
Age: 28

Selim
Son of Suleiman the Magnificent, younger brother of Bayezid. Has been instructed by Suleiman to murder Bayezid if he fails to take control of the Mindwalk Pavilion, in order to blame this on the Celts and provide a pretext for war. (Think more about this, may be a bit silly - distance etc making it difficult).

Edward Carrick
