The Philosopher: Nicholas Renzi is fond of talking about the philosophies of David Hume and the like with Kydd, and in The Admiral's Daughter, he begins doing research for his own book. | |

The Siege | |
| Kydd / int_1c4adce1 | comment |
The Siege: The Siege of Acre during the climax of Tenacious, which Kydd and Renzi take part in as defenders under the command of Sidney Smith. The battle is notable for being one of Napoleon's few losses and it was to a ragtag group of sailors as opposed to trained infantry. | |

| Kydd / int_3be94971 | comment |
Glory Seeker: Heroic examples with Lord Nelson and Thomas Kydd himself. Near the end of Tenacious, Kydd worries that he might be more of a reckless Glory Hound when one of the men under his command blames him for the death of a friend during The Siege of Acre. Luckily, he's soon heartened by the admiration expressed for him in the letter the dead man wrote to his wife. | |

| Kydd / int_57b74bd4 | comment |
Achievements in Ignorance: At the end of Quarterdeck, Kydd earns his place in high society by inviting Thérèse Bernardine-Mongenet to a banquet hosted by Prince Edward. What Kydd doesn't note and the rest of Canada does know is that his lady is the Prince's mistress, who isn't allowed to be with him at occasions such as the banquet. | |

The Mutiny: The premise of the fourth book, Mutiny. Kydd initially joins the mutiny at the Nore in good faith, but he later regrets his decision when the situation turns ugly. In later books, it becomes an Old Shame for him. This later becomes a threat for Kydd in Treachery note The Privateer's Revenge in the U.S., when he treats the crew of Teazer badly to due to his grief over the death of his fiancée, Rosalynd. | |

| Kydd / int_7ccd2f10 | comment |
Press-Ganged: How Kydd got his rough start in the Royal Navy. This should be noted as quite different to the careers of Horatio Hornblower and Jack Aubrey, whereas they both started out as midshipmen on the quarterdeck at relatively young ages when compared to Kydd's twenty before the mast at the start of the series. | |

Chick Magnet: Due to Kydd's swarthy looks, he attracts his fair share of women, including: Sarah Bullivant and Tamaha in Artemis. Kitty Malkin in Mutiny, though both agree to break off the relationship just before the climax of the book. Subverted with Mrs. Emily Mulvany's "attraction" towards Kydd in the same book. She just happens to be a married woman who likes to flirt and entertain and who doesn't want to cheat on her husband. Persephone Lockwood in The Admiral's Daughter as well as Rosalynd Morthwen. | |

| Kydd / int_ca895242 | comment |
Officer and a Gentleman: Subverted with Kydd during Quarterdeck and Tenacious, as well as other "tarpaulin" officers who "came up aft through the hawsehole". While certainly very good at their jobs through experience, they're considered crude by the standards of those who play this trope straight, which is why Kydd begins to resent his fellow officers in Quarterdeck. Played straight with Renzi during those two books, highlighting his status as a Foil to Kydd. | |

Sentenced to Down Under: Not Kydd himself - though he does captain a transport ship full of convicts to Australia during the Peace of Amiens in Command. Renzi, however, joins Kydd's transport as a free-settler passenger, because he wants to impress Kydd's sister, Cecelia, by starting up his own estate. This doesn't work out very well for him, though, but luckily, Kydd's there to take him home. | |
