Jermyn, Sir Philip

Sir Wade Jermyn's son, a densely stupid man, small-framed, agile and powerful, who was prone to fits of violence.  In 1780, he married his gamekeeper's daughter of gypsy extraction.  After the birth of his son, he deserted his family to become a common sailor, eventually disappearing off a ship just off the Congolese coast.
