Biography[edit]
Wickley was one of Temeraire's bellmen. He accompanied the rest of the crew on the voyage to China (1805-1806).
After Temeraire and his crew returned to Britain in December 1806, accompanied by Arkady and his band of ferals, Wickley and Dunne, one of the riflemen, were reassigned to Arkady, as both of them had picked up some of the Durzagh language spoken by the ferals and were old enough to be placed in positions of command.
Both Wickley and Dunne were present aboard Arkady in December 1806 or January 1807 when, during Napoleon's occupation of Britain, Iskierka and the ferals decided to head towards London for some private raiding while the rest of the British forces fled northwards. Iskierka was captured by the French, along with her captain, Granby, and all her crew, but the ferals and their officers escaped.
