A young man who is slightly older than Jenkins. Widmerpool is something of an unpopular student and never completely fits in with groups, either at school or in social situations later in life. Widmerpool becomes the subject of some "ragging" from other students and Jenkins notes that Widmerpool's personality is augmented by his appearance. He wears a jacket that is sufficiently outdated and strange-looking so that Jenkins' friend begins saying that some particular piece of clothing is looking "very Widmerpool." The first story Jenkins relates about Widmerpool is that he is working at athletics, in spite of the fact that he does not do well in athletics.
