Line 128:
* Uncle Pete from [[Damages]]. Tom introduces him as "the one who really runs things around here" which is the kind of patronage you'd expect from a law firm partner towards someone from the domestic staff. But as it turns out, it may actually be true. Not only is he in on every plot and scheme that goes down, but he talks to Patty in a way that suggests that he actually has some dominance over her.
* Mrs. Hall the loyal housekeeper from ''[[All Creatures Great and Small]]''
* Teula Tuileta or "Kumu" in the reboot of ''[[Magnum PI]]''. She is cultural curator of the estate and comes from a family that traces it's roots to the Hawaiian monarchy. If there is anything worth knowing about Hawaii (including say, [[Chekov's Gun|where the otherwise unknown plants on the victim's body actually grow]]) she pretty well knows it.
* ''[[Upstairs, Downstairs]]'' is practically made of this trope. But especially notable are Mr Hudson and Mrs Bridges.
* Jiiya, from ''Kamen Rider Kabuto'', fits this role.
Line 133 ⟶ 134:
* ''[[The Palace]]'' had Jeremy, a footman with a particular devotion toward Queen Charlotte.
* Niles from ''[[The Nanny]]''. His father was the butler for the previous generation of the Sheffield family. Niles grew up alongside Max, and even followed him to America.
