Enemies & Rivals
 
During the war he and Maskelyne came at cross purposes with the lady Rose O’Neal Greenhow, but she died just before the war ended or did she… .

Another rival was the spy known as the French Lady, who was in fact Richard Thomas, AKA Zarvona, a man who took over the St. Nicholas in a attempt to raid the USS Pawnee. Current whereabouts unknown.
 
Wilber Smithens, AKA “Reb Greyson” is Cody’s nemesis, a combination of a couple of real life people of this time, the soldier Henry T. Harrison, the bushwacker “Bloody Bill” Anderson, along with bigotry and sentiments of Nathan Bedford Forrest thrown in as well. Wilber is kind of the opposite of Cody, he is poor southerner from the backwoods of Virginia who is a typical good ole southern boy, good at riding, shooting and spouting off about the wonders of the Confederacy and racism and such. He is direct, to the point and honest to a vault, usually broadcasting his intentions to anyone who will listen. This causes him to attract people to his cause but gives away his plans all too easily. He wants to capture Cody and force him to give his gold back, under some delusion that Cody could actually do that.
 
Alexander Keith, a criminal and arsonist invented the time bomb, was another rival who survived the war and went on to cause havoc wherever he went. Their wartime rivalry over there would no longer be any animosity between them though.
