Biography

Portland is a "senior cap" or senior captain of the Aerial Corps. He is apparently well-regarded in the Corps as he was trusted with a very precious Regal Copper egg and was the captain sent to William Laurence when it was discovered he had harnessed a Chinese dragon. Laurence seems to like him, as Portland is far more tactful than the younger aviators like Dayes and Croft who are also present.

Portland was a tall, thin man with sever features and a hawkbill nose, who looked rather dragon-like himself.

Captain Portlald would be made admiral during Napoleon's invasion of the Britain if he was there and not in Gibraltar.
