Sir Francis Cromarty
The elephant driver who leads Phileas Fogg, Jean Passepartout, and Sir Francis Cromarty through the jungle in India on the back of Kiouni the elephant. The guide’s expertise and knowledge of Indian culture help Fogg and his companions navigate the undeveloped area they are forced to trek through in order to get to Allahabad. When they see Aouda being led to her death, the guide agrees to help Fogg, Passepartout, and Sir Francis save her because he, like Aouda, is a Parsee. Since he goes above and beyond his duty as their guide and forms a friendship with Fogg and the others, Fogg decides to gift Kiouni to him along with his payment.
