* TheJeeves: TropeNamer.TropeNamer, albeit with a shade of UnbuiltTrope. Your average Jeeves is a stuffy domestic obsessed with propriety. Jeeves is... while he is on the clock. In his spare time he is a man-about-town with a wider circle of friends than Bertie, several clubs and at least one on-and-off girlfriend. He is also a highly skilled card player, and is not above hustling his employers' friends when his wallet is getting thin. To top it off, he is apparently well-acquainted with violence, a highly skilled shotgun marksman and fully capable of silently incapacitating a police officer when the need arises.
