Biography

A young midshipman and one of Temeraire's lookouts. Despite his youth, he was one of the ten crew members chosen to accompany Temeraire and Laurence to Peking, along with Granby, Keynes, Riggs, Therrows, Hackley, Dunne, Blythe, Martin 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.)

Digby was promoted from ensign to midshipman during the crew's stay in Istanbul. He was killed when and his men escaped from the Sultan's palace trying to save one of the three eggs that they had rescued.
