{{a|otto|}}[[Jeremiah Nuncle]], often known simply as “the Nuncle”, is a character in {{otto}}’s opera {{br|Der Kampf um Talente}}: Nuncle is a former stand-up comedian now employed as [[chief of staff]] for [[Triago]], the hapless [[general counsel]] of [[Wickliffe Hampton]], an enormous American bank. 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. | {{a|otto|}}[[Jeremiah Nuncle]], often known simply as “the Nuncle”, is a character in {{otto}}’s opera {{br|Der Kampf um Talente}}: Nuncle is a former stand-up comedian now employed as [[chief of staff]] for [[Triago]], the hapless [[general counsel]] of [[Wickliffe Hampton]], an enormous American bank.
