Captain Haddock was introduced in The Crab with the Golden Claws. Until Haddock's introduction, supporting characters would only appear irregularly, and mainly in the background. Apart from loyal Snowy, the canine companion of Tintin.
With the introduction of Haddock, author Hergé realised the captain's potential to ventilate cynical side-commentary in a very unique way. This was at the expense of Snowy, whose role was somewhat reduced to accommodate Haddock.
