Jeeves
Archetypal English valet
Jeeves is a supremely competent valet, the fictional creation of P.G.
Wodehouse, who serves the hapless Bertie Wooster in a series of novels and stories.
The name has become shorthand for an impeccably capable servant or assistant who solves problems with quiet brilliance: I need a Jeeves to sort out this mess.
