Allan Quatermain

Allan Quatermain is the protagonist of H. Rider Haggard’s novel King Solomon’s Mines and its various prequels and sequels. Quatermain is an English-born professional big game hunter and occasional trader in southern Africa. He supports colonial efforts to spread civilization in the Dark Continent, and he also favours native Africans’ having a say in their affairs.
