# Trevor — The Gold Bat character guide > Trevor in The Gold Bat by P. G. Wodehouse. **Role:** major **Also known as:** Mill, the practical Trevor **First appearance:** 0000-i-the-fifteenth-place ## Snapshot Small, tireless Wrykyn football captain whose boundless energy turned a slack school into a winning machine — and whose gold bat has gone missing. ## Who they are Trevor runs Wrykyn's games like a machine, a terror to shirkers who trains even in the holidays and plays football like a miniature Stoddart. His friendship with the idle Ruthven puzzles Clowes, and his blunt, direct manner makes him both an effective captain and an awkward detective. When the gold bat vanishes, his dogged sense of duty to the school — not his own feelings — drives the search that anchors the whole mystery. ## Relationships ### [Clowes](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/clowes) _friendship_ Clowes and Trevor are close friends and allies, often working together on school schemes. ### [Rand-Brown](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/rand_brown) _rivalry_ Rand-Brown is a competitive antagonist to Trevor, frequently clashing over school matters. ### [Milton](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/milton) _friendship_ Milton and Trevor share a friendly bond, cooperating in school life. ### [Barry](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/barry) _friendship_ Barry and Trevor are good friends, supporting each other in various school endeavors. ### [Ruthven](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/ruthven) _friendship_ Ruthven and Trevor are friends, sharing common interests at school. ### [Seymour](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/seymour) _friendship_ Seymour and Trevor are friendly, with a positive rapport in school life. ### [Dexter](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/dexter) _friendship_ Dexter and Trevor are friends, interacting positively in school life. ### [Ripton](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/ripton) _friendship_ Ripton and Trevor are friends, sharing a positive bond at school. ### [Clowes](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/clowes) _friendship_ Clowes and Trevor are close friends and allies, often working together on school schemes. ### [Barry](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/barry) _friendship_ Barry and Trevor are good friends, supporting each other in various school endeavors. ### [Clowes](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/clowes) _friendship_ Clowes and Trevor are close friends and allies, often working together on school schemes. ### [Rand-Brown](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/characters/rand_brown) _rivalry_ Rand-Brown is a competitive antagonist to Trevor, frequently clashing over school matters. ## In the story ### [The Fifteenth Place](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_gold_bat_se/chapters/i-the-fifteenth-place) Captain of the first fifteen;
