CaptainHaddock

Captain Archibald Haddock (Capitaine Archibald Haddock) is one of the main characters of the Adventures of Tintin comics. Captain Haddok goes on many adventures with Tintin.

Archibald's personality is described as not too bright; His alcoholism and temperamental nature, characterize him as weak and unstable, at times posing as great a hazard to Tintin as the villains of the piece. He is also short-tempered, given to emotional and expletive-ridden outbursts, and capable of infuriating behavior; at one point in the album he even attacks Tintin when, traversing the Moroccan desert, Haddock has the sun-induced delusion that Tintin is a bottle of champagne and tries desperately to pull his head off.

Despite his unlawful nature, he is best freinds with Tintin as the story progresses and tries to avoid his violent nature.

Welcome to Tintin Wiki! All of the instructions on use can be found in the Manual of Style.

The administrators of Tintin Wiki has worked very hard in getting it to this point, but there's only so far any one small group can expand an encyclopedia, and after it tops out in size from our knowledge base or ability to work on it, the public is of more help than the admins in expanding and growing. That's the philosophy of a Wiki-based encyclopedia, and we're taking that to heart. We know there'll be differences of opinion, we know there'll be hard times and heated arguments, but we're going ahead with this project anyway, because it is our goal to compile the best, most comprehensive Tintin database on the planet.

We're not there yet, but we're working on it, and you can help us. The administrators of Tintin Wiki hope you enjoy, contribute to, and use our newest service!
