Mr. Utterson, a lawyer, is described as a man of rugged appearance, rarely smiling, and reserved in conversation, yet he possesses a lovable and human quality.
Despite his austere and self-disciplined nature, Mr. Utterson has a tolerance for others, often choosing to assist those in moral decline rather than judge them.
He is portrayed as a man who avoids indulgence, drinking gin alone to resist his taste for finer vintages, and abstaining from the theatre, which he had not attended for twenty years.
Mr. Utterson is characterised by his loyalty to his friends, whose companionship he values due to duration and familiarity rather than shared interests.
His closest companion is Mr. Richard Enfield, his distant kinsman and a well-known socialite, with whom he shares regular Sunday walks.
The friendship between Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield is regarded as peculiar by others, as they are observed to speak little during their walks and appear dull to onlookers.
Despite their differences and the perception of others, Mr. Utterson and Mr. Enfield place great importance on these weekly walks, sacrificing both pleasure and business to maintain this tradition.
