Revision as of 14:51, 3 August 2008
George Cooper is the son of Eleni Cooper, a former priestess in the Temple of the Mother, and an unknown temple worshipper. George grew up in the rough Lower City, where he learned to steal and speak slang. By the time he was seventeen, George had become the Rogue, or The King of Thieves, in the capital city of Corus. He later becomes a good friend of Alanna and teaches her to fight barehanded or with a dagger.
When Jonathan of Conté is crowned, George is given a pardon. He gives up his life of crime and becomes the Baron of Pirate's Swoop. Eventually, George uses the skills of his past to assist Tortall's spymaster, Myles of Olau, who is also his father-in-law.
By the time of Wild Magic, George and Alanna have had three children: Thom and the twins, Alan and Alianne. In this series he is a supporting character who helps during the siege of Pirate's Swoop, his home with Alanna. He also appears in Daughter of the Lioness in the Copper Isles to visit his daughter in disguise.
Relationships
Romance
From the first time he saw her, George took a liking to Alanna of Trebond. He was the first of her friends to know that "Alan" was a girl. George waited for Alanna for eight years, weathering her relationships with both Jonathan and Liam Ironarm. His patience paid off, as eventually he "finally tamed himself a Lioness."
Family
In addition to his mother, Eleni, George also has a stepfather/father-in-law, Myles of Olau. One of his known ancestors is Beka Cooper. George marries Alanna, and together they have three children: Thom (named for Alanna's deceased brother), and twins, Alianne and Alan. Alianne grows up to marry a man called Nawat, and they give George his first grandchildren: triplets Ulasu, Junim, and Ochabai.
Appearance
George is a tall, lean young man with white teeth and tan skin. Like his mother, he has bright hazel eyes and brown hair, which he cuts short like most commoners. He is also described as having a beaky nose, inherited from his father, that is too large for good looks, but he looks handsome when he smiles. He is supposed to be around six feet 4 inches. He is heavily muscled and has eyes that are full of mischief. He carries a number of knives and daggers as to be always ready for an attack, legacy of his time as the Rogue, or the King of Thieves in Tortall. His daughter Alianne, the main character of Trickster's Queen, is also always armed, and has George's hazel eyes.
