Know Your Enemy

How well does Dominic Flandry know the Merseians?

He fights them on Starkad;

en route to Merseia, he is electrocrammed with Eriau and Merseiology;

he is introduced to Brechdan Ironrede, Protector of the Roidhunate's Grand Council;

he helps Abrams with intelligence work on Merseia;

he is shown around the planet by Tachwyr the Dark and Lannawar Belgis (see here);

he is captured by Merseians and spends time with them exploring Talwin;

he captures and negotiates with Ydwyr the Seeker, the Roidhun's nephew;

he is part of the Terran delegation that opposes the Merseians at Betelgeuse;

throughout his career, he periodically meets Tachwyr the Dark, until Flandry becomes an Admiral and Tachwyr becomes the Protector (see here).

I would say that Flandry is an expert on the Merseians.
