Gentius had sired at least three other dragons, the third of whom was [[Excidium]] (born c. 1725). He also had at least three captains, probably more like four or five if he saw 200 years of active service. He was most attached to his first captain, who had fed him his first meal after hatching, when his head was no bigger than her hand. He kept a portrait of her in a gold frame and told Temeraire that "one never really gets over the first." | Gentius had sired at least three other dragons, the third of whom was [[Excidium]] (born c. 1725).

Previously, Longwings' female companions were addressed only as Miss and, at least in theory, did not hold command. Instead, a male captain was assigned to each Longwing along with the dragon's female companion. |
