Fighting Naturalist
Dr. Stephen Maturin a.k.a. Don Esteban Maturin y Domanova. Fastest saw in the fleet, deadliest shot in Dublin, polyglot, spy, cellist, and fellow of the Royal Society. Dazzling knowledge of both cryptograms and cryptogams. Still working out which is larboard and which is starboard.

another thing I love about aubrey-maturin is how convinced they both are (but especially Jack) that together they cover the whole sum of human knowledge. he’s always thinking, “well, I don’t know that, so Stephen will.” conversely the things he does know, Stephen doesn’t. Like the meme:

'Now one more cup of coffee and I must attend to my calculus, nearly always a difficult subject.'
'So you have suddenly taken to the calculus?' cried Jack. 'How very glad I am - amazed - quite stunned. By just calculus I take it you mean the differential rather than the infinitesimal? If I can be of any help...'
'You are very good, my dear,' said Stephen, putting down his cup and rising, 'but I mean the vesical calculus, no more: what is commonly known as a stone in the bladder, the utmost reach of my mathematics. I must be away.'
'Oh,' said Jack, feeling oddly dashed.
