In the edition from the Mobileread library, it's spelled "Necker".

Spoiler for chapter 11:
Spoiler:
It was a bit of a shock that the author killed off captain Hugues! He seemed like a competent person who could add some badly needed sense to the Comittee


I'm in chapter 18 now. I've been reading other stuff in between -- I admit I lost a lot of sympathy with the protagonist around the time I lost track of how many times he's switched loyalties back and forth. Now it seems he picks whatever cockade serves his own purposes at the moment.

I still want to see where the story goes, so I've definitively not given up on it!

Maybe I'll try again some time later
