rdfs:comment
  • This is the character who magically comes up with supplies whenever The Captain needs them. He has similarities to the Intrepid Merchant, and indeed may be one of his crew. However he tends to be seen in military shows, especially military comedy where there's no need to question how he comes up with the goods. May be officially described as responsible for "field acquisitions". The Scrounger is seldom The Captain himself, but a crucial member of the squad. Just don't ask where he finds this stuff. Examples of The Scrounger include:
