The French authorities believed him dead ever since, but the truth was known by the British secret service. The last rites were administered by Cyrus Harding, one of the castaways on the island who had been saved by the Captain himself, and the vessel then submerged in the waters of the grotto. He is said to have died of old age in 1883, on board the Nautilus, at Dakkar Grotto on Lincoln Island in the South Pacific. Further he was an accomplished player of the organ. The Nautilus library and art collection reveal him to be familiar with European culture and arts. However, he was unable to determine the country of his origin. Aronnax goes on to comment that Nemo's French was perfect and unaccented, and relies on his intuition and knowledge of ethnology to assess that he was from Southern latitudes. In his first meeting with Professor Aronnax and his companions, the latter speak to him in French, English, Latin and German, all of which Nemo later reveals he is fluent in. He claims to have no interest in the affairs of the world above, but occasionally intervenes to aid the oppressed, giving salvaged treasure to Cretans revolting against their Turkish rulers, by saving (both physically and financially) an Indian pearl hunter who was the unfortunate victim of a diving accident, or by saving the castaways from drowning and covertly watching over the castaways in Lincoln Island. They derive bullion from the various shipwrecks that dot the ocean, the most notable plundering ground being the Spanish wrecks in the Bay of Vigo. He and a crew of his followers cruise the seas, battling injustice, especially imperialism.

He was deeply antagonistic to the British Raj of India. Nemo is Prince Dakkar, the Sikh son of the Raja of Bundelkund. 1.3 Adventures with the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen."Nemo" is Latin for "no one", and also (as νέμω) Greek for "I give what is due." Nemo tried to project a stern, controlled confidence, but he was driven by a thirst for vengeance, and wracked by remorse over the deaths of his crew. Prince Dakkar (c.1830s - 1910), infamously known as Captain Nemo I, was a pirate and scientific genius who roamed the depths of the sea in his submarine, the Nautilus, which he helped build on Lincoln Island. I am not what you call a civilized man! I have done with society entirely, for reasons which I alone have the right of appreciating.
