From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
General Alcazar is a character in The Adventures of Tintin series of classic comic books drawn and written by Hergé. A general in the army of San Theodoros, Alcazar switches with comedic frequency between being president of the country and leading a rebellion to battle the government led by his arch-rival General Tapioca. As the political climate of San Theodoros becomes too heated in The Seven Crystal Balls, he plies his trade as a knife thrower in a variety show with assistant Chiquito.
His first appearance was as president of San Theodoros in The Broken Ear, his last being in Tintin and the Picaros, where he once again is in power.
