# Steggles — Jeeves Stories character guide

> Steggles in Jeeves Stories by P. G. Wodehouse.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Mr. Steggles, the blighter Steggles

**First appearance:** 0015-the-purity-of-the-turf

## Snapshot

A shifty acquaintance with a taste for betting schemes, Steggles pulls Bertie into dubious wagers that inevitably require Jeeves to untangle.

## Who they are

Steggles moves through Bertie's world as the sort of fellow whose bright ideas about horses and wagers tend to land other people in hot water. His schemes appeal to Bertie's weakness for easy money and his reluctance to seem a spoilsport, creating the kind of low-grade crisis that Jeeves exists to resolve. He matters because he represents the recurring temptation of Bertie's social circle: the plausible chum whose plans sound capital until the bill comes due.
