Mr. Darcy was the master of Pemberley. He was married to Lady Anne Darcy, by whom he had two children: Fitzwilliam and Georgiana. He was the godfather to George Wickham, the son of his steward, whom he intended to enter the church.
When he died five years ago, he named his son and his nephew Colonel Fitzwilliam as Georgiana's guardians. He left Wickham one thousand pounds and asked that his son promote Wickham as much as he could in the Church, but Wickham did not want to take orders and chose to take three thousand pounds in lieu of the living at Kympton.
Because his godson is named George and his daughter is named Georgiana, readers often assume that his given name was likewise "George," but the text does not outright say so.
