Bunter is Lord Peter's butler, who assists him with his detective work, often working behind the scenes and as a photographer and in taking fingerprints. He is resourceful and takes the initiative, often remembering small courtesies that Lord Peter has overlooked, such as sending a wreath to the funeral of the mystery man. He is also quick-thinking and manages to invent a story that allows them to obtain the letter sent to "Paul Taylor" on the spot. He also has a strong dress sense, and helps organize the way Lord Peter dresses, even when Lord Peter is wearing a hideous hat out of politeness.
