Biography
Jonathan Carver is the young midshipman chosen by lot to attempt to harness the dragonet later named Temeraire.
He is afraid of heights, which William Laurence thinks would make him a poor aviator. Luckily for Carver, Temeraire pays no attention to him and instead speaks to Laurence, leaving Carver to the Navy. Laurence considers him a "promising young officer."
