"A pragmatic idealist, the best Admiral the navy ever had, and the undefeated champion of the Blind Helmsman's twelve-whisky tango. She's hard up right now, but you can't keep a good captain down."[1]
The late Amelia Whitlock was a celebrated Admiral of London's navy - or, well, what was left of it, anyway.[2] After staying in the Neath for some time, she left when Victoria brought London to the High Wilderness, and captained a ship called the Orphean until her demise.[3]
A Thousand Corpses
"Log of Her Majesty's Locomotive The Orphean; March 14th, 1905.
"Our expedition to the domains of the dead has been eventful. The Orphean is damaged, and in grievous need of repairs and supplies. We are returning – in haste! – to the Reach, where I hope to make port at New Winchester.
"May God be with us, for a thousand deaths wait in the sky."
- –Final entry of Captain Amelia Charity Whitlock, DCM, written shortly before her death.
Whitlock was a seasoned captain who accrued riches from all corners of the heavens, but used up all of her fortune for one last trip to the Blue Kingdom.[4]
Whatever she did there, it involved a black box. But more importantly, it angered the Blue Kingdom and caused a fiery Logos to burn her from within and brand her with Correspondence sigils.[5] She died in agony while attempting to escape to New Winchester.[3]
The Affair of the Black Box

"Captain Whitlock ensured that this was left to you along with the Orphean, her locomotive. Her last wish was that you take it to a certain address in London, at your convenience."[6]
On the reading of her will, her first officer received the Orphean, along with the black box contained within it.[4] They were instructed to carry the black box to a house in New London with no windows.[7]
Inside the box is a mute shade from the Blue Kingdom, named Jacob, who was related to Amelia. The black box is in fact a container perfectly designed to protect its contents from the light of the stars; without it, Jacob would turn to salt under starlight.[8]
