Bianca and Nestor

Nestor is a character from The Adventures of Tintin series of classic comic books drawn and written by Hergé. Before he was under the employment of Captain Haddock at Marlinspike Hall, he dutifully served as a butler for the Bird Brothers, the estate's previous owners. Haddock, however, respected Nestor for his loyalty, and refused to turn him in to the police when the Bird Brothers were arrested, eventually making him his own butler once he obtained Marlinspike Hall. Nestor made his first appearance in The Secret of the Unicorn, and proves to be a staple character in numerous Tintin stories.

In The Castafiore Emerald, he proved to be a bit xenophobic, while in Tintin and the Picaros he was shown drinking his master's whisky in secret and listening at doors as Tintin and Haddock argue.
