George Wickham

George Wickham is a young man in his mid to late 20's. He was the son of the late Mr Darcy's steward. His father died which Mr. Darcy told him as his second son. He roughly around the same age as Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Biography
During the novel, he manages to seduce everyone around him with his polite and cheery manners, making him a true Austen villian. All the ladies love his looks, especially Elizabeth and Lydia. He manages to entrance Elizabeth, by feeding into her dislike of Mr. Darcy, until she learns the truth about Mr. Wickham's past, and begins to doubt his intentions. Unfortunately, Elizabeth does not warn her family about the real Mr. Wickham, and is thus unable to save Lydia from disgrace (Lydia and Wickham were conducting very scandalous affairs that came to light when Lydia went to Brighton). He and Lydia later marry, but do not live in marital bliss, as they are always out of money, and always have to look for work.

Personality
George Wickham is described as handsome and charismatic that attracts the attention of all women including Elizabeth and Lydia. He is a very skilled liar as he was able to make Elizabeth dislike Darcy more if it hadn't been for her aunt and Darcy himself who told her the truth of Wickham's past. Also, he pretended to love Lydia fully aware that he has no intentions of marrying her until Darcy intervened and bribed him to marry Lydia to save the Bennet's honor.

Lydia Bennet
Lydia is George's wife. When Lydia was in London, she and Wickham eloped despite Lydia and him having no money and he had no intentions of marrying her. It was not until Darcy tracked the duo in London and bribed Wickham to marry Lydia in secret and start a new life and offered a second chance.

Fitzwilliam Darcy
Darcy was Wickham's former childhood friend when Wickham's father was a steward working for the Darcy family. When they went to school together, Darcy became a scholar and gentlemen while Wickham became a disgrace and a gambler. Darcy had to bail him out when his debts went too far. Wickham went so far to seduce Georgina (Darcy's sister) and elope in promise of love Darcy intervened before they had the chance to elope. From that day on Darcy refused to look, talk or even help Wickham in anyway. It was not until Darcy’s love for Elizabeth Bennet that he was able to use to his advantage to bribe Wickham to keep away from the Bennet family except with Lydia. .
