Biography
Lenton has at least 40 years of experience in the Corps, as that is how long he has flown with Obversaria. He held the post of command-in-chief of the Channel Division and Admiral at the Dover covert.
However, Obversaria died with much suffering in the dragon plague in 1806. By the end, she did not even know Lenton, who had been with her since she was a hatchling. Afterwards, Lenton's health rapidly declined. Jane Roland says he held on admirably for three weeks after her death but then was found on the floor of his quarters in an apoplexy (stroke). He could not speak properly and was reassigned to the quieter post at the Edinburgh covert. Roland was made Admiral at Dover in his stead.
