James Thomson III was a descendant of the poet James Thomson.

In 1903 he wrote in his journals about a vision of London with shadowed buildings under a bloody red sky. This description matched the Eleven-Day Empire.

Like James Thomson's other descendants, James Thomson III was affected by the fallout of a ghost cluster. The Book of the War noted that he was "only occasionally found to have existed". (PROSE: The Book of the War)

Behind the scenes

  • In the real world, James Thomson died without children.
  • James Thomson III's description of the Eleven-Day Empire mirrors his supposed grandfather's bleak description of London in the famous real-world poem The City of Dreadful Night.
