Nestor (Tintin character)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nestor is a character from The Adventures of Tintin series of classic comic books drawn and written by Hergé.
He is the long-suffering butler of Marlinspike Hall.
Nestor made his first appearance in The Secret of the Unicorn in which he dutifully served as a butler for the Bird Brothers, the estate's original owners.
When the Bird brothers were arrested and jailed it was established at their trial that Nestor knew nothing about their activities. He later returned as butler to Marlinspike when Captain Haddock reclaimed the property. He remained a staple character in many of the subsequent Tintin stories.
In The Castafiore Emerald, he proved to be a bit xenophobic, while in Tintin and the Picaros he was shown drinking his master's whisky in secret and listening at doors as Tintin and Haddock argued.
