Minor characters in the Jeeves stories

The following is an incomplete compendium of the fictional characters featured in the Jeeves stories of P. G. Wodehouse, in alphabetical order by surname.

Anatole

Anatole is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves stories, being the supremely skilled French chef of Aunt Dahlia at her country house Brinkley Court.

G. D'Arcy "Stilton" Cheesewright

Bertram "Bertie" Wooster is a recurring fictional character in the Jeeves stories, being the master of said Jeeves.

Claude and Eustace Wooster Anchors|Claude and Eustace|Claude Wooster|Eustace Wooster

Claude and Eustace Wooster are fictional characters in a Jeeves semi-novel, being the cousins of Bertie Wooster as the twin sons of Henry Wooster and Emily Wooster.

In "The Inimitable Jeeves" (1923, a semi-novel made of interlinked short stories), they were initially students at Oxford University, but their unruly behaviour caused them to be sent down. They were then pushed off to South Africa through Jeeves's conniving, to relieve Bertie from the strain of having to accommodate them in secret at his London flat.

Emily Wooster Anchor|Aunt Emily

Emily Wooster is a fictional character in one Jeeves semi-novel, being Bertie Wooster's Aunt Emily, and the mother of Claude and Eustace Wooster.

In "The Inimitable Jeeves" (1923, a semi-novel made of interlinked short stories), she was the wife then the widow of Henry Wooster, Bertie's looney uncle.

Henry Wooster Anchor|Uncle Henry

Henry Wooster is a fictional character in one Jeeves semi-novel, being Bertie Wooster's Uncle Henry, and the brother of Bertie's late father.

In "The Inimitable Jeeves" (1923, a semi-novel made of interlinked short stories), he was, unfortunately, a "looney" who kept pet rabbits in his bedroom, and of whom the family was deeply ashamed. He was kept locked up in his country house to avoid embarrassment for the family. Bertie's Aunt Agatha was convinced that it is from him that Bertie inherited his apparent traces of looniness, though she was apt to over-exaggerate her nephew's woolly-headedness for a serious mental condition. He died fairly early in the Wodehouse canon, leaving behind a wife, Emily Wooster, and his twin sons, Claude and Eustace Wooster.
