Maynard Trigg

Maynard is the main character in the Maynard Trigg series. Maynard is naive, stubborn and confident, often mistrusting authority. He is a quick learner, taking to chemistry, lying and always remaining adaptable.

Early Life
Maynard was born on Carthage to Manifold and Henrietta, an aspiring council member and ex-pirate respectively. Little is known of his early life, save that Maynard was educated by Madame Isobel and that his mother, Henrietta, has not been seen on Carthage in many years.

Maynard grew close to his father. They would often bake bread and entertain guests together. Due to his father's late hours at work, Maynard would spend time with Nell, another youngster on Carthage.

Nell and Maynard spent most of their time getting into trouble, terrorising teachers and their parents alike.

After Maynard's father discovered something buried within Carthage, Maynard was forced to flee his home, pursued by The Seeker.

The Harmony
After fleeing Carthage, Maynard, with Moony's help, stows aboard The Harmony in order to secure passage away from Parker's grasp.

Maynard initially struggles to adapt to The Harmony, seeking aid from Abbey due to Moony's abrupt disappearance. After struggling to find his way, Maynard falls in with Spiggot, the leader of a group of thieves called The Hand.
