The steward and manager of the estate at Portray, Lizzie Eustace’s house in Scotland.

"...an honest, domineering, hard-working, intelligent Scotchman, who had been brought up to love the Eustaces, and who hated his present mistress with all his heart. He did not leave her service, having an idea in his mind that it was now the great duty of his life to save Portray from her ravages" - The Eustace Diamonds
