Bo Jenkings - Valet to The Earl Sterling
Human
Valet:The Valet, like the Lady’s maid, was a role with status. The valet was the gentleman of the house’s personal servant, responsible for helping him dress, caring for his clothes, shaving him, polishing his boots and more. A good valet could tie a perfect cravat in multiple styles and could dress a man’s hair in the fashion of the day. He was also likely to receive the gentleman’s cast off clothes, and was expected to be very discreet about the gentleman’s day to day affairs, which he was almost always aware of. They were sometimes called a gentleman’s gentleman.
