# Vaughan — The Pothunters character guide

> Vaughan in The Pothunters by P. G. Wodehouse.

**Role:** supporting

**First appearance:** 0001-the-pothunters

## Snapshot

A schoolboy of easy loyalties and athletic enthusiasms, quick to toast a villain's father as a philanthropist if it means a rival leaves the House.

## Who they are

Vaughan moves through St. Austin's with the comfortable assurance of a boy who cares more about the cross-country race than about mysteries. He shares Dallas's relief when the unpopular Plunkett is sent down, joking that Plunkett senior is a philanthropist for withdrawing his son. His cheerful indifference to the burglary's darker implications makes him a useful gauge of how the school's ordinary life keeps rolling on.
