# Jeeves — Jeeves Stories character guide > Jeeves in Jeeves Stories by P. G. Wodehouse. **Role:** major **Also known as:** Jove, Old Jeeves, good old Jeeves **First appearance:** 0001-jeeves-stories ## Snapshot Bertie Wooster's imperturbable valet, whose soft-spoken suggestions and encyclopedic brain quietly rescue his employer from every social catastrophe. ## Who they are Jeeves presides over Bertie's wardrobe, morning tea, and tangled love life with the same unflappable courtesy, offering solutions in the tone of a man discussing the weather.
