# Bertie Wooster — Jeeves Stories character guide > Bertie Wooster in Jeeves Stories by P. G. Wodehouse. **Role:** major **Also known as:** Mr. Wooster, Bertram, Egbert, Bertram Wooster **First appearance:** 0001-jeeves-stories ## Snapshot A well-meaning, well-tailored young gentleman of leisure whose cheerful schemes and terror of formidable aunts land him in one scrape after another. ## Who they are Bertie narrates his own misadventures with breezy slang and a fatal weakness for helping friends in love, which repeatedly drags him into engagements, house parties, and police stations. He bristles at Jeeves's quiet superiority and resolves to solve problems alone, a vow that never survives contact with reality. His running battles with Aunt Agatha and his loyalty to hopeless pals make him the warm, hapless center of the book. ## Relationships ### [Bingo Little](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/bingo_little) _friendship_ Bertie and Bingo are close friends and fellow members of the Drones Club, often involved in each other's romantic and financial misadventures. ### [Jeeves](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/jeeves) _professional_ Bertie is Jeeves's employer and master, but their relationship is one of deep mutual reliance, with Jeeves acting as a wise and indispensable valet and advisor. ### [Claude and Eustace](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/claude_and_eustace) _family_ Claude and Eustace are Bertie's twin cousins, known for their mischievous and often troublesome behavior, which frequently drags Bertie into their schemes. ### [Sir Roderick Glossop](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/sir_roderick_glossop) _social_ Sir Roderick is a psychiatrist who repeatedly diagnoses Bertie as mentally unstable, creating a strained and comedic relationship of mutual suspicion. ### [Aunt Agatha](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/aunt_agatha) _family_ Aunt Agatha is Bertie's domineering and disapproving aunt who constantly tries to control his life and force him into a respectable marriage. ### [Honoria Glossop](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/honoria_glossop) _romantic_ Bertie is briefly engaged to Honoria but is terrified of her domineering personality, and Jeeves helps him escape the match. ### [Florence Craye](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/florence_craye) _romantic_ Florence is a high-minded and intellectual woman who tries to reform Bertie, leading to a series of failed engagements and mutual frustration. ### [Bingo Little](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/bingo_little) _friendship_ Bertie and Bingo are close friends and fellow members of the Drones Club, often involved in each other's romantic and financial misadventures. ### [Claude and Eustace](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/claude_and_eustace) _family_ Claude and Eustace are Bertie's twin cousins, known for their mischievous and often troublesome behavior, which frequently drags Bertie into their schemes. ### [Aunt Agatha](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/aunt_agatha) _family_ Aunt Agatha is Bertie's domineering and disapproving aunt who constantly tries to control his life and force him into a respectable marriage. ### [Sir Roderick Glossop](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/sir_roderick_glossop) _social_ Sir Roderick is a psychiatrist who repeatedly diagnoses Bertie as mentally unstable, creating a strained and comedic relationship of mutual suspicion. ### [Jeeves](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/characters/jeeves) _professional_ Bertie is Jeeves's employer and master, but their relationship is one of deep mutual reliance, with Jeeves acting as a wise and indispensable valet and advisor. ## In the story ### [Jeeves Stories](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/chapters/jeeves-stories) The narrator and protagonist, a well-meaning but often hapless young gentleman. ### [Extricating Young Gussie](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/jeeves_stories_se/chapters/extricating-young-gussie) Narrator and protagonist;
