Edwin Jarvis

Edwin Jarvis became the butler in the employ of millionaire inventor and industrialist Howard and Maria Stark and continued to work for Anthony Stark after their deaths. Jarvis was present at the mansion when the new team of superhuman adventurers, The Avengers, held their first meeting there. Tony Stark, who, in his identity of Iron Man was a founding member of the team, donated the mansion to the Avengers for their use as a headquarters and set up the Maria Stark Foundation to cover the team's operational expenses. Jarvis stayed on at the mansion, to act as the Avengers' principal domestic servant.
