Master Moxon is identified as King Charles II’s hydrographer, a figure of practical learning in the book’s historical frame. The text supplies no personal arc or relationships beyond that office, leaving him chiefly as a careful chart-maker associated with the age’s expanding knowledge of the world.
Description
The only firm visual detail is that Master Moxon is a 17th-century English hydrographer; the text gives no particular height, build, complexion, hair, eyes, or facial features. His clothing can be represented in general period-appropriate English dress, without assigning a specific cut or color. He carries the measured, observant air of a man whose work is to render coastlines and waters legible.
