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 {{Buchstein}}’s maladroit prose, characteristically ham-fisted — plot exposition device. |
