I'm a retired merchant sailor who likes Loch Lomond whiskey and hates mineral water. I'm also one of Tintin's closest friends. I'm highly addicted to whiskey but I also like other spirits like rum. I first appeared in The Crab with the Golden Claws and had been in every Tintin book since then.

I have sailed over twenty years with my old friend, Captain Chester, before becoming commander of the Karaboudjan where my alcoholism was taken advantage of by my crooked first mate Allan Thompson. Tintin rescued me from the ship and we became friends ever since and barely ever parted again. I'm a direct descendant of the 17th century seafarer Sir Francis Haddock, a sea captain under Charles II (in the French version Louis XIV). I was the captain for two expeditions during my adventures with Tintin, commanding the Aurora in The Shooting Star during the expedition to find the meteorite and the Sirius, Captain Chester's ship that he lent me to find Red Rackham's treasure. At the end of the latter adventure, I acquired, with the proceeds of the sale of his friend Professor Cuthbert Calculus' patent for the Shark-proof submarine, Marlinspike Hall, which once belonged to my ancestor Francis. I have retired from sailing and invited Tintin and Calculus to indefinitely live there with him.
