− | + | Berkley was a heavy-set fellow with a red face. He was not particularly proper, but spoke freely and rarely wore a coat. Despite these differences, [[William Laurence]] immediately took a liking to him. Berkley was a trustworthy fellow and had been given command of a particularly valuable [[Regal Copper]], [[Maximus]]. The two of them had a brotherly sort of relationship, in which they enjoyed teasing and provoking one another. | |
He had a very loud, booming voice which was lucky, as he rarely had to use a speaking trumpet when aboard his dragon despite Maximus's size. | He had a very loud, booming voice which was lucky, as he rarely had to use a speaking trumpet when aboard his dragon despite Maximus's size. | ||

After Laurence was convicted of treason and Temeraire's crew was disbanded, Berkley took charge of [[Demane]] and [[Sipho]], two Xhosa boys whom Laurence had brought from Africa and made runners. Demane was assigned to fly with Arkady, which Berkley considered to be a good assignment for him, as otherwise he tended to get into fights. However, Berkley fought with the [[Admiralty]] to keep Sipho in his ground crew, as the boy was not even nine. | After Laurence was convicted of treason and Temeraire's crew was disbanded, Berkley took charge of [[Demane]] and [[Sipho]], two Xhosa boys whom Laurence had brought from Africa and made runners.
