Jock McPhee (French: Mac O'Connor) is an American Naval Officer who works for the Naval Intelligence in Land of Black Gold in The Adventures of Tintin series.

History[]

The night before the Speedol Star leaves for Khemed, McPhee meets a person, telling him that he is boarding the ship the next day, and that it will reach Khemed by Thursday. Then the person gives him secret documents to travel with him there, as they are vital to their success. Tintin hears the conversation, but then sneezes, triggering McPhee by pulling the gun out, demanding someone to come out. Snowy does, and McPhee immediately becomes more relaxed, implying that it was only a dog.

Afterwards, Tintin asks the director of Speedol to come on board as a radiotelegraph operator. McPhee, who hid the documents on board, sees Snowy on the ship just like from last night, and immediately realises that somebody is after him, and has to get rid of the documents.

He then entrusts Thompson and Thomson, with the documents, telling them that he's an agent of the Navel Intelligence transporting secret documents. He then decides to eliminate Snowy and neutralize his owner, Tintin.

That night, he captures Snowy after putting him to sleep and hides compromising documents in Tintin's cabin, warning the Khemed military police of the presence of these documents. Just as he is about to throw Snowy overboard, he is knocked out and punched by another sailor and falls downstairs, which causes him to go insane. He is taken care of by the ship's doctor, who is unable to cure him.
