About this episode

This episode explores the life of Archibald Thomson Hall, also known as Roy Fontaine, the so-called 'Monster Butler'.

Archibald Thomson Hall, eventually known as Roy Fontaine, changed his name to better suit the world of butlery—which was a touch odd… given that “Archibald” sounds far more like a butler’s name than “Roy.” Then again, making a mess of things was exactly what the “Monster Butler” was best at.
