USS Charlemagne

Isaac Biddlecomb disliked Tottenhill, but tried not to show it, and was, in fact, accused of descrimination against Southerners by various members of his crew.

Virginia Stanton Biddlecomb

She had always been friends with Isaac, who was taken in by her father after the death of his parents (see Captain Isaac Biddlecomb), but she didn't begin to have romantic feelings toward him until she was seventeen or so and he was attacked by a British frigate in By Force of Arms.

She first appears in By Force of Arms when the Stantons' butler Rogers is meant to ride into town to meet Isaac and William Stanton and Virginia insists that she be allowed to do it instead.


Ezra Rumstick

He met Isaac Biddlecomb in 1764 when he signed aboard William Stanton's ship the Providence, on which Isaac had been working for a year, following the death of his father.

In By Force of Arms, Captain Isaac Biddlecomb's smuggling ship, the Judea, is destroyed by British soldiers, which results eventually in his and his friend Ezra Rumstick's impressment aboard an English man-o-war, HMS Icarus, commanded by the irresponsible and arrogant Lieutenant James Pendexter.
