:::Hm. Good points-- but Chu is still the only dragon who's been definitely identified as Temeraire's uncle. I don't have my copy of CoG right here; I can't recall whether Temeraire says that his uncle is *currently* the Emperor's companion, or whether the verb tense is vague enough to mean "At some point, my uncle was the Emperor's companion even if that Emperor is dead now"... but in the latter case, why wouldn't Temeraire think first of whichever other relation currently holds the post? Or expand it outward to "My grandfather, at least one uncle/cousin, and maybe my mother have all been companions to Emperors in their time"? This may require another plea to NN for clarification :| --[[User:Wombat1138|Wombat1138]] 18:55, 6 April 2012 (MDT) | :::Hm.
