About
Reginald Jeeves is a fictional character in the short stories and novels of P. G. Wodehouse, being the "gentleman's personal gentleman" (valet) of Bertie Wooster (Bertram Wilberforce Wooster). Created in 1915, Jeeves would continue to appear in Wodehouse's works until his final, completed, novel Aunts Aren't Gentlemen in 1974, making him Wodehouse's most famous character. The name "Jeeves" comes from Percy Jeeves, a Warwickshire cricketer killed in the First World War. Both the name "Jeeves" and the character of Jeeves have come to be thought of as the quintessential name and nature of a valet, butler, or chauffeur, inspiring many similar characters (as well as the name of the Internet search engine Ask Jeeves). A "Jeeves" is now a generic term in references such as the Oxford English Dictionary.Jeeves is a valet, not a butler - that is, he serves a man and not a household. However, Bertie Wooster has lent out Jeeves as a butler on several occasions, and notes: "If the call comes, he can buttle with the best of them."
Abilities:
Intellect: Jeeves is a man of the world, and is famous for his knowledge of just about anything. When asked if he knew everything, he simply replied. "I don't know, sir,"
Hand to Hand Combat: Jeeves has basic fighting skills, used only when absolutely necessary.
Equipment:
Sonic Device: After a rather hairy encounter with a strange man, Jeeves came into ownership of a sonic-device used to help out whoever he is valeting at the time.

After changing into her street clothes she heard a soft beep come from her laptop. Frost looked at the new email that she had missed. Again, she read it and got bored, so she skimmed. A new shrink? Here at... Ah ********] she thought. He would be arriving soon. She quickly gathered her papers and documents to hand to Jeeves. As she left the room she was greeted with the delicious, mouth-watering smell of lunch.
"Jeeves, I know this is a little soon but I think we're having someone joining us for lunch"
