Steed's Trademark was his Edwardian dress, including a Bowler Hat , suit with Waistcoat , and everpresent umbrella. He was born John Wickham Gascoyne Berresford Steed in the mid- 1920s . A veteran of World War II , Steed achieved the rank of Major before joining The Ministry. He maintained a modest flat in London during the 1960s and drove a variety of elaborate, old-fashioned cars, including a Rolls Royce and several different models of Bentley . Out of all his partners, he was closest to Peel; while their interaction was often laced with dry, sarcastic Wit on both sides, he respected her as an equal, and owed her his life on more than a few occasions. There were some elements of repressed sexual attraction between Steed and the married Peel, but his professional respect for her (and perhaps a fear of spoiling their partnership) kept him from acting upon his attraction to her. Steed was resurrected for the 1998 Adaptation Of The Series , this time played by Ralph Fiennes . EXTERNAL LINKS |
