Dr. Charles Dermot Ridgewell is a British explorer who travelled into the South American rainforest occupied by the Arumbaya Native South America nation.
History[]
Ridgewell settled down with the Arumbayas and decided to stay, not caring if the outside world knew if he was dead or alive. When Tintin ventured into the Arumbayan territory, Ridgewell initially fired darts at him in order to scare him away, but later agreed to take him to the Arumbayan village for information. Ridgewell did bring aspects of civilization to the Native South Americans,
