Biography
Jean-Paul Choiseul remained loyal to the Bourbon kings when Napoleon Bonaparte came to power. He was forced to seek refuge in other countries. In 1805, he cames to Britain and stayed at the Loch Laggan covert. His 14 years of experience and combat-ready dragon are enthusiastically welcomed by the Aerial Corps. Choiseul forms a particularly close attachment to Catherine Harcourt.
In truth, however, Choiseul has been sent to Britain to steal back Temeraire's egg for the French. He hopes if he can perform this deed, he and Praecursoris will not be executed. But Temeraire has already hatched so instead he attempts to kidnap Harcourt and Lily. In the process, he kills one of Lily's officers called Wilpoys. This plot is foiled by William Laurence; the two fight, though it is ultimately Harcourt who takes out Choiseul.
For his treachery, Choiseul is exectued. His last act was to convince Praecursoris to accept safe haven in Britain.
