Biography
In an attempt to replace William Laurence with one of their own, the Aerial Corps tried to have Dayes assume the role of Temeraire's captain shortly after Laurence and Temeraire arrived in Madeira. Temeraire, however, refused Dayes' attempt, which led Dayes to insult Laurence. Laurence attempted to challenge him to a duel, but Captain Portland quickly informed him of the Corps' prohibition against dueling.
Dayes had struck up a friendship with John Granby during Granby's service aboard Laetificat. Granby's loyalty to Dayes led to difficulties between Laurence and Granby during their initial time together at the Loch Laggan covert.
