"Yes, m'lady."

Aloysius[1] "Nosey" Parker is a character from the Thunderbirds Are Go! television series. He is Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward's personal manservant, chauffeur and bodyguard, making him the driver of FAB 1. Parker works alongside Lady Penelope closely, whom he always addresses as "m'lady", during missions to assist International Rescue. It seems him and Lady Penelope's pug, Sherbet were enemies but have become partners in crime by Clean Sweep and The Man From TB5.

Personality and Traits[]

He has a shady past which proves useful in understanding criminals and in general, the underworld, and is also reputed to be one of the worlds most effective safe breakers, capable of breaking the most advanced of safes, using rudimentary tools easily found in hardware stores. Despite his age, he is also very physically active and he excels in combat and stealth. He has a personal safe cracking kit, which surprisingly includes things like chalk, a car mirror, chewing gum and other "junk"--a testament to his resourcefulness (The Hexpert). His past criminal activities are largely unknown; but he became highly ashamed of them, referring to it as his "misspent youth". Lady Penelope's father gave him a chance to reform, and he has since become a polite, loyal, and rather comical hero.

Despite the significant age difference between him and Penelope, and by extension, most of the Tracy household, he maintains a professional yet casual relationship with all of them, treating them as equals instead of his juniors, and them to him, a trusted ally instead of a senior. He is a worrywart by nature, and quick to express concerns about any potentially dangerous situations up ahead. However, he is nonetheless quick to jump into said situations should he finds it to be the best of course of action to take (or simply because Penelope is jumping into it). He is the slowest speaker of all the regular characters, despite being quick-witted and having a sharp mind.

Duties[]

Aloysius Parker is primarily International Rescue's secret agent, stationed in London. As Lady Penelope's manservant, Parker operates FAB 0, FAB 1, and FAB 2, which allows him to carry out his organisational role.

Equipment[]

During rescue missions, Parker wears a grey and pink multi-purpose rescue suit that has an International Rescue badge on the right shoulder. Along with the rescue suit, Parker wears a pair of elbow-high gloves and a pair of super-traction boots, both grey in colour. The rescue contains two pockets on the chest, both empty. Parker wears his black communicator in his ear, which he also does when not wearing this suit. To protect his head and give him safe air to breathe, Parker wears a white helmet containing an integrated breathing regulator connected to the back of his suit. The helmet has ‘iR’ on both sides in black.

Appearances[]

Main article: /Missions

Parker's unique skills and talents lend him to a great deal of 'specialist' roles in missions as well as being Lady Penelope's chauffeur.

Space Race[]

When John can't access the London Archive to find out the last digit on a deactivation code for the Space mine that is pursing Thunderbird 3, Lady Penelope and Parker are called upon to apply a 'personal touch' to acquire the code. Parker - using the code name 'Grey Ninja' - infiltrates the facility to grab the file.

The Hexpert[]

A scientist becomes trapped inside a highly specialised tirinium vault with a dangerous anti-matter. Parker is the only person on the globe to have broken into a vault like this, allegedly, and so the GDF ship him across the Atlantic.

Undercover[]

A GDF mission to recover a stolen Repulsor Magnet Array requires a undercover agent and when Parker learns there is a role for him in the mission he leaps at the opportunity to assist.
