The Saint	comment	In 1928, Leslie Charteris had his third stand-alone novel, Meet the Tiger, published. Afterwards, Charteris selected the hero as the strongest of the three protagonists he'd created, and embarked on what he hoped would be a series of tales. The choice was a good one: Charteris would chronicle the adventures of The Saint until 1983. (The character's success in print — short stories, novellas and novels in roughly equal measure — led to many adaptations in other media.)Our hero, Simon Templar, is significantly better known by his nickname "the Saint." The origins of his nom de guerre are uncertain, other than the coincidence of his initials, but it is certain that his heroic exploits fly in the face of a nefarious reputation. Like Raffles and Arsène Lupin before him, Simon is a thoroughgoing, unrepentant and in fact joyful criminal. The Saint is a past master at every way (that existed in his time) of illegally separating marks from their money. Police on multiple continents, including and especially Chief Inspector Claud Eustace Teal of Scotland Yard, have done their futile best to bring in the Saint — while at the same time owing some of their biggest arrests to the assistance of Simon Templar.This unusual relationship to law enforcement is because Simon's unique moral philosophy places him completely on the side of the, well, saints. His usual targets are referred to collectively, by him, as the "Ungodly". Some are obvious evildoers, including gangsters, murderers and, from roughly 1939-1945, the agents of the Axis. Others of the Ungodly, however, are known as such only to the Saint and his friends; these include corrupt politicians, crooked business men, and (before 1939) warmongering arms dealers. The fortunate Ungodly escape merely with vastly-reduced ill-gotten fortunes; the Saint donates a percentage of his score to charity, and the remainder to himself and his partners in crime. This obviously leads to comparisons, both favorable and otherwise, to Robin Hood. As for the unfortunate Ungodly — well, when his singular code of ethics demands it, Templar is willing to go much further, all the way up to Vigilante Execution when necessary.Initially, Templar was usually depicted as working with a number of other adventurous young men: right-hand-man Roger Conway, hot-blooded lady-killer Richard "Dicky" Tremayne, sardonic tech wiz Archie Sheridan, and doomed hero Norman Kent. Occasionally, the team included his Old Retainer Orace, though mainly in a background/support role. And, very often, Templar heavily relied on his true love, Patricia Holm, who was far more competent than the average heroine of her day. During this period, although the Saint could and did operate internationally, the series was strongly centered around Great Britain, and especially London — the closest thing the Saint has to a home town.By the mid-1930s, Conway, Tremayne, Sheridan, and Kent had left the field. Templar carried on with Patricia and two new associates whom he acquired in the course of adventures. Peter Quentin was, at first, a law abiding citizen whom Simon saves from a vicious confidence scheme, and who as a result became a reliable first mate to the Saint's buccaneering. At almost the same time, Simon's most unusual associate, good old Hoppy Uniatz, joined the merry crew. Mr. Uniatz was a not-overly-bright but unswervingly loyal and courageous, not to mention handy with a Colt 1911 semi-auto, veteran of the Prohibition-era NYC underworld. He was also (according to Charteris) the first Breakout Character in the series, to the point that as the series went on, Simon would often appear with only Hoppy as support. The Saint also left the UK more often during this time, especially as his wartime exploits demanded.Roughly from the beginning of the 1950s, though, even Hoppy had moved on. The Saint was left, essentially, a lone wolf. His solo status also seemingly cut the final threads holding him to England; for the last 20 years of the series, Simon was a true globetrotter, and stories set in London Town became far more the exception than the rule.Beginning in the 1960s, Charteris occasionally updated stories for reprints, replacing outdated references to topical matters such as pop culture and politics with more modern examples. In the 1970s, he stopped doing that; as with Sherlock Holmes, to which series he directly referred, Charteris believed that part of the charm of the stories was their evocation of their time period.Charteris wrote all the stories and novels published between 1928 and 1963. From 1964 onwards other writers took over and continued writing stories (many of which adapted episodes of The Saint and Return Of The Saint from TV). These writers were usually credited inside the books, but Charteris received sole credit on the covers. The final Saint novel in the original run was published in 1983.

The Saint / int_1235f055	type	Dirty Coward
The Saint / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: As the Saint earns his reputation, his little stick figure gains the power to strike terror into the hearts of most evildoers. Beyond this, twice in the same collection of novellas (entitled Once More the Saint or The Saint and Mr. Teal) Simon encounters paragons of poltroonery. Galbraith Stride, in The Death Penalty, and Ronald Nilder in The Man From St. Louis reveal themselves to be thoroughgoing dastards. It is an indication of how low Simon thinks they are that, although they are now chatting each other up in a super-tropical climate, the Saint doesn't personally dirty his hands on either of them.

Then Simon purchases a trick matchbox from a toy & novelty shop, and uses it to return the gift to the main villain. Let's just say The Joker would've been proud.

The Saint / int_1989b0c	comment	Comic-Book Time: As Charteris pointed out in the notes in The First Saint Omnibus, Templar was aging at a practically normal rate in the first decade or so. His aging process began to slow as The Saint dealt with Those Wacky Nazis. Then, from the post-war period, through Charteris' retirement from primary authorship in 1963, and on to the end of the series 20 years later, Simon showed his age almost exclusively by a much more world-weary attitude than his exuberant pre-war years.

In The Gold Standard, immediately upon the Saint's return to the UK from a trip abroad, a small but nasty specimen of the Ungodly is knocked out and robbed blind. The deserving target never saw his robber, though, and the only clue is the Sign of the Saint, left behind by the perp. Unfortunately for the long-suffering enforcers of the Law, Simon is having a lengthy chat with Chief Inspector Teal in a provincial police station at the exact time the crime occurred. Of course, it was quick-thinking Patricia who took advantage of the opportunity — as noted above, she was far above average for the time.

The Saint / int_1cd602ef	comment	Calling Card: The familiar haloed stick figure was Simon's trademark, often sent before an adventure as a warning, during as an ominous reminder, and after as a signature to a completed work. Even after his identity is made public, Simon continues to use it; as Inspector Teal observes glumly, every bobby in Britain knows it's his trademark, but the fact that everyone else in England knows it too allows Simon to claim that some cheap crook was just copying it. In one of the stories in The Saint in London, one of the Ungodly finally tries a Frame-Up using the Sign of the Saint. Simon is only surprised that it's taken someone so long. He further muses that perhaps every other crook who thought of it was smart enough to realize that it would only attract his attention, and that it's far better to take their chances with the bobbies than with The Saint.

The Saint / int_3ac2a3e3	comment	Deadly Gas: In The National Debt, the villain is going to use gas to wipe out a ship's crew; when Simon intervenes, he spares a small amount to create an improvised Gas Chamber Death Trap in a cellar. In Story of a Dead Man, the villain traps Simon and that adventure's leading lady in another cellar, then opens a valve of plain old heating gas. In the first case, the fact that the cellar is dug into plain earth and not part of a brick or other solid foundation — plus some Artistic License – Chemistry — allows Simon to create an improvised gas mask and dig his way out. In the second, Simon and the heroine actually have to be rescued — by Chief Inspector Claud Eustace Teal, of all people.

No one but Simon himself, Pat, and a few highly-placed Italian officials will ever know, though, because news of the very attempt would cause a financial panic. This would devastate Europe's economy even worse than it had already been by The Great Depression, if such a thing were possible. (It should also be noted that this adventure took place several years before Italy broke away from the League of Nations and from a friendly relationship with the U.K.)

The Saint / int_452d2f40	comment	Title Tropes: As befits a Long Runner series, Charteris and his publishers went through lots of these in the course of the UK publishing series and the overseas editions' Market-Based Title: Enter Eponymous: Enter The Saint Character Action Title: In the UK, The Saint... ...

Played with in that often the reader is invited to perform an action in relation to the Saint: Follow/Call For/Send For/Trust/Count On and, if possible, Catch the Saint. Multi-Character Title: The Saint and Mr. Teal. One-Word Title: Boodle and Getaway. The Place: All of the novellas which make up The Saint Goes West use this: Arizona, Palm Springs and Hollywood. Further, Character-in-the-Place is often used in book titles: New York, Europe, The Spanish Main, London (and England, alternate titles for the same work) have all been honored with the Saint's presence. Protagonist Title: Many of the books in the series have The Saint in the title ; as noted above, though, The Last Hero refers not to Simon but to Norman Kent. Further, two of the books enshrine Mr Teal in their titles, as befitting his high status in the series (see above, again).

Although, how the Saint's biographer fictionalized the Saint's adventures in Simon's own universe, without inadvertently providing enough evidence for the justice systems of at least fifteen countries to lock Templar away for the rest of his life, is the biggest mystery of all.

Simon loves very few things more than poking Teal both verbally and physically, in Teal's well-padded midsection. But when the chips are down, Simon speaks of him with both affection and respect. The Saint alternates helping Teal solve the good Inspector's toughest cases (other than those that Simon committed himself, that is), and leaving Teal grasping at thin air when he attempts to nail Simon for the Saint's crimes. Further, Teal is shown to be a more-than-competent detective (for example, in The Unusual Ending) in every respect; it's simply that, as The Lawless Lady put it, "Simon Templar was not common clay; and Teal, who was of the good red earth earthy, recognized this without resentment." Finally, he and Simon have each saved the other's life at least once, in The Story of a Dead Man and The High Fence respectively.

The Saint / int_8a295a46	type	Cool Car
The Saint / int_8a295a46	comment	Cool Car: Leslie Charteris didn't believe that any car in the real world was cool enough for Simon to drive, so he made up one. The Hirondel was the ultimate roadster of the 1930s; its cost alone, let alone its fantastic performance, put it in the supercar class of Ferrari and Aston Martin today. Automobile Quarterly devoted an issue to imaginings of this fictional classic, images of which can be found here. In one later story (Vendetta for the Saint), an Italian mechanic who has devoted himself to preserving a Bugatti Type 41 "Royale" (currently worth approximately $10 million) is impressed that Simon drove a Hirondel. It's that cool. Much as he loved the Hirondel, though, the Saint appreciated the artistry of Ettore Bugatti equally. This led to a comedic Felony Misdemeanor moment when Simon discovers and safely disposes of a bomb that the Ungodly planted in the Royale. He's less annoyed that they were trying to kill him than that they were willing to destroy such a work of art to do so. The Saint also occasionally drove a Furillac and a Desurio, both of which are also fictional brands. Little detail is given about them, though it doesn't seem to be a case of Bland-Name Product placement — other characters drive Daimlers, Rolls-Royces, and Buicks, amongst others.

The Saint / int_cbe687ab	type	Corrupt Corporate Executive
The Saint / int_cbe687ab	comment	Corrupt Corporate Executive: Just in the pages of The First Saint Omnibus, the Saint encounters Messrs. Hugo Campard (stock manipulator turned oil tycoon), W. Titus Oates (shady financier and philatelist), Sir Melvin Flager (trucking magnate and slave-driving, safety-ignoring boss), and, worst of all, Grant Lasser (legitimate importer of wine & spirits; smuggler of those and other things; and torture-murderer). Distaste for high-ranking "suits" who abuse their positions to rip off the consumer, the innocent stockholder, and anyone else in range is something Simon seems to more than share with the general public — the difference being, the Saint can do something about it.

It should be noted that the Saint is adhering to Christopher Hitchens maxim "Never say anything nasty about the dead that you weren't brave enough to say while they were alive. Everything else is fair game." (See above note on Mark of Shame.)

The Saint / int_d39e327f	comment	What the Hell, Hero?: The only time Patricia calls Simon out on anything in real anger occurs in The Melancholy Journey of Mr. Teal. The good Chief Inspector has almost nailed the Saint, when Simon informs him that without Teal's knowledge, Simon has been depositing money into Teal's account, making it appear that the detective is a Dirty Cop. The world, and Teal's superiors at Scotland Yard in particular, will all too readily accept this as the real reason Teal's never caught the Saint. Teal proceeds with the case anyway, knowing the consequences to himself. Teal's unswerving devotion to duty, plus Patricia's reproach, in turn causes Simon one of his extremely few attacks of conscience. The Saint reverses himself and not only does not proceed with the plot, he makes amends by giving Teal the Great Big Book of Everything of London crime that Simon has taken years to compile. Of course, Simon arranges for him, Patricia, and the boodle to escape anyway.

If absolutely necessary, though, he will go further. Some examples: First degree — In The Unlicensed Victuallers, Simon utilizes the intimidating presence of good old Hoppy, who's already volunteered for the job without being asked: Second degree — In The Man From St. Louis, Simon lets the Mook-du-jour's imagination work with some creative props: Third degree — In The Appalling Politician, working solo, pressed for time and with British national security at stake, his work would make the Counter Terrorist Unit proud: In each case, the subjects talk, and that right quickly.

Beyond that, Simon has even conned the Ungodly into killing each other or themselves (see, for example, The Careful Terrorist). Finally, if absolutely necessary, the Saint will not hesitate to do his dirty work himself (see immediate next item).

Before he can make his move, though, he overhears part of a conversation between Tex and a woman Simon thinks is just the gangster's moll. When Simon does move, he gets the drop on both and tells Tex that he's there to kill both of them. Tex faces the Saint down, saying that whatever Simon thinks the lady's done, he's wrong. Tex goes on, though, to say he can take it for both of them — because they were just married that day. Simon is so touched, he not only lets the young woman go (he never intended to harm her anyway), he also lets Tex flee with her, and even gives them back some of the loot that he, Simon, has just lifted from Tex's safe.

And it's even played straight against the Saint in The High Fence. (In Simon's defense, he was being carted off by a detective in the last instance, so he wasn't quite on his guard.)
