George Cyril Wellbeloved
Wellbeloved is Emsworth's first pig man, who we first meet off-screen, when his unfortunate imprisonment (fourteen days for being drunk and disorderly in the tap-room of the Goat and Feathers), leaves his charge the Empress of Blandings off her food, in the short "Pig-hoo-o-o-o-ey".
A tall, red-headed man with a pronounced squint, his drinking tendencies fail to scupper the Empress' bid for victory in the Fat Pigs competition at the 87th Shropshire Agricultural Show. He later proves treacherous, abandoning the Empress to work for Parsloe-Parsloe by the time of "Company for Gertrude". He is replaced by the capable Pirbright, and his behaviour is much criticised (though less so than that of his new master) in Summer Lightning and Heavy Weather.
His affairs are central to Pigs Have Wings, when Parsloe bans him from touching the beer of which he is so fond, to keep him vigilant in protecting the new pig Queen of Matchingham. He becomes involved in the complex shenanigans concerning the theft of both the Queen and the Empress, and we learn that he was for a time a friend and drinking-partner of Admiral Biffen.
He returns to Blandings for a spell in Service With a Smile, by which time he has acquired a broken nose during a political debate outside the Goose and Gander, a result of his support of communism. He betrays his master once more, accepting a bribe to help steal the Empress, and is given the push once and for all. In Galahad at Blandings, we learn he has inherited a pub in Wolverhampton, and he returns briefly to the castle on visitors day, worrying his former master with his dire diagnosis of the Empress' condition.
