He acts as Triago’s loyal and honest advocate, from which position he can point out the Triago’s faults, delusions and misapprehensions, as no one else can. Nuncle uses irony, sarcasm, and wit to deliver unpalatable truths to Triago, and also functions as a convenient — and, in Büchstein’s maladroit prose, characteristically ham-fisted — plot exposition device.
