Also known as Bluber, Mr. Adolph Bluber
First appearance: i the golden lion
As a supporting figure in Tarzan and the Golden Lion, Adolph Bluber is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
The group's treasurer, he haggles over the required two thousand pounds but eventually agrees to Flora's terms.
Bluber's penny-pinching — too few carriers, too little food — has left his treasure party hungry, mutinous, and stranded deep in hostile country. He clings to tree branches half-exhausted and wholly terrified, a man whose greed has outrun his courage by every measure. His mismanagement is the fuse that keeps the white treasure hunters at each other's throats from the very first camp.
