museum guide for the main character, Robert Langdon,

guests, his voice is pleasant and with a British accent that
Langdon loves), witty (pretending to be a security guard to
distract the guards), loyal and calm (planning the escape
058
route, arranging various transportations methods for his

master’s friend even after his master’s death, etc.), enjoying
being praised and possessing a sense of humor. Yes,

convenience and comfort of future homes.
