Biography

Jeremy Rankin came from a noble family and a long line of Aerial Corps captains. A younger son of the Earl of Kensington, Rankin was a tall, blonde man, always impeccably dressed and with a gentleman's manners. He was supposed to be next in line for Celeritas, but the Yellow Reaper couldn't stand him. He harnessed a Winchester named Levitas, whom he treated abusively, thus proving himself no gentleman at heart.

He initially befriended William Laurence after Laurence was treated coldly by other aviators. Laurence noticed that Rankin was treated similarly, and believed Rankin's noble birth was the cause. However, once Laurence discovered that Rankin's treatment of Levitas was the reason for his unpopularity, he regretted befriending Rankin and distanced himself thereafter.

After Levitas died at the Dover covert from an injury following a reconnaissance mission, Admiral Lenton chose to send Hollin - on Laurence's recommendation - to harness a Winchester about to hatch rather than to place another dragon in Rankin's hands. It is not know or much cared what happened to Rankin after this.
