'''Sir Thomas Grenville'''
First Lord of the Admiralty. Considers Jackie a jumped-up guttersnipe who doesn't know her place, a scheming trollop at best and an out-and-out criminal at worse. He also seems to regard her desire to marry Jaimy an affront to his entire social class. But as she is also a very effective, if frequently exasperating, secret agent, he keeps punishing her by giving her new missions.
