Stephenson:Neal:Quicksilver:List of people

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

This is a list of the dramatis personæ in Quicksilver who have entries in the Metaweb. As this list grows, we may group people by family, region, religion, language, title or noble status, or other methods.

Characters who are based directly on actual historical persons of the same name are in bold. All other characters are purely fictional constructs or are based loosely on classes of people who existed at the time.

Clearly major characters

Natural Philosophers

Aristocrats and Politicians

Businessmen

Soldiers & Sailors

Very Minor Characters

People mentioned only a few times with only a tiny part in the narrative, and historical persons who are mentioned but do not directly participate in the narrative.
