Biography[]

Season Two[]

In a flashback to 1705, Lieutenant James Mcgraw speaks with Admiral Hennessey in a tavern frequented by other officers of the Royal Navy. After Hennessey leaves, he notices Pickram and several of his friends laughing at him. McGraw goes to sit near them and asks them if there is a problem. Pickram replies that there isn't, he is just jealous of McGraw's prestigious posting as Liasion to the Hamilton family. He then provokes McGraw into a bar fight when he suggests that an added benefit of McGraw working with the Hamilton's would be that he would get to sleep with Thomas Hamilton's wife. While McGraw fights Pickram and his cronies, Hennessey returns and orders the fight ended. Hennessey then orders everyone who is an officer in his fleet to leave the bar, and Pickram complies. 

Quotes[]

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem. None whatsoever. Apologies. Perhaps it's my jealousy showing. Liaison to the Hamilton family, that's quite an appointment. Congratulations, sir."

"Thank you."

"I must say, I thought myself quite qualified, but then I suppose perhaps for this particular assignment, you were the better man. Of course, I can understand how it would be of such importance to you. Someone of your station... son of a carpenter's mate given a chance to socialize with a lord. Hold that position for long enough and you might convince everyone you're something more than you actually are. A gentleman, most civilized.  I imagine there is no end to the benefits Thomas Hamilton's favor could bestow upon you. Future employment, status... hell, I understand if he likes you well enough, he may even let you f*ck his wife."
