Phileas Fogg

Phileas Fogg is the primary protagonist in Around the World in 80 Days. The story details his attempt to go around the world in 80 days. He is a mysteriously wealthy Englishmen with a knack for gambling, and is generally seen as a confident, inspiring sort of man. His willingness to attempt the feat of going around the world in 80 days shows that he is a risk-taking sort of man with boundless confidence.

Passepartout

The honest and ever-comical French valet of Mr. Fogg; he is loyal yet inadvertently burdensome traveling companion. He is a brave, warm, man, yet seems to often throw a wrench in Fogg's attempt to travel round the world in 80 days. He is a very endearing though utterly comedic.

Detective Fix

As Fogg leaves on his journey, a major English bank is robbed. Detective Fix is led to believe that the culprit is none other than Phileas Fogg, who never intended to go round the world in 80 days but simply wanted to escape the police. He wants to catch Fogg so he can receive some of the stolen money as a reward.
