W. R. Gibbons

W. R. Gibbons is a fictional American businessman first seen in "The Blue Lotus", a collection of "The Adventures of Tintin" comic strips. He is cruel and a typical imperialist who is shown as rude and insensitive to a Chinese youngster. When Tintin has a fight with him and gets the better of him, he decides to take revenge on Tintin and informs on Tintin to the Japanese authorities, only to get himself arrested as a liar when his information is found inaccurate. However, he is not guilty of any criminal act. However, since he is a friend of J. M. Dawson, he is certainly suspicious. He reappears as a devoted follower of Endaddine Akass.
