I definitely think that writing about Havelock would be interesting, but it would be really difficult for me, since I don't know anything about the navy. I'm having a hard enough time writing about Martin in the army. I think I'm just going to stick with the three I'm writing right now about Martin, Samuel, and the one that uses quotes from the Heart as prompts.

I would guess that Havelock is very opposed to any sort of love since his brother died. I imagine he doesn't want to get attached to anyone, just in case they die or go away. He compensates for this by killing, as it gives him control and also gives him an outlet for whatever feelings he's keeping inside. He seems very calm and controlled on the outside, and through killing (legally), he is able to keep up that appearance. He wants to appear disciplined and remain in control at all times.

That's how I would write him if I did start a story about him.
