Biography
Lt. Riggs is in charge of the riflemen onboard Temeraire. Laurence describes him as a great shot with a good eye. However, he does not have an even temper and often shouts about small mistakes, which Laurence does not think is good for a lieutenant. However, he has seniority so he is entitled to the position.
He was one of the ten crew members chosen to accompany Temeraire and Laurence to Peking, along with Granby, Keynes, Dunne, Therrows, Hackley, Blythe, Martin, Willoughby and Digby. (Emily Roland and Peter Dyer also went, on George Staunton's advice. As they were children, they were not counted against the limit of ten set by Prince Yongxing.)
