Who is Captain Haddock?

Captain Haddock is a sea captain with a temper. He was the alcoholic commander of the merchant ship, the Karaboujan. He is a close friendof Tintin. He is the owner of Marlinspike Hall as well. (Bonus: He got his last name after Herge asked his wife what was for dinner and she said, "Haddock, a sad english fish.")


Not much else can be said about him. However there are a few theories about where he's from. Most fans say that he's english. Others say, because of the movie, he's scottish. Here's a middle ground for these fans and something to think about. He may be from Yorkshire. It's an area in England that's close to Scotland. Many, not all, people who live there have an accent similar to that of the scottish. Just food for thought. What do you think?
