First, Welled Selasse, Ras of Tigre, the most powerful man in Abyssinia in the early 1800s. Second, Subegadis, turning from rebel to benevolent despot until defeated, captured and beheaded in 1831. Third, Viscount Valentia, who sponsored Salt's overseas ventures and pulled embryonic diplomatic strings at home. Fourth, Henry Salt, 1780-1827, remembered for his pioneering journeys to Abyssinia, for his art, and for his consulate duties and collections in Egypt. Fifth, Nathaniel Pearce, 1779-1820, a little-known adventurer and "inteloper" who occasionally appears as a mere footnote in historical works. Sixth, William Coffin, c1782-1854, employed by Viscount Valentia in 1802 on a journey to India and beyond, culminating in a period of over 40 years as another "inteloper" in Abyssinia."
