Kapitan Haddock se prvič pojavi zvezku TinTinovih dogodivščin z naslovom Zlati rakci in v kasnejših nadaljevanjih ostane kot eden glavnih pozitivnih likov in TinTinov najboljši prijatelj. Je vzkipljiv in robat ter znan po svojih nežaljivih kletvicah (Morska kumara! Ektoplazma! Mornarji sladkih voda!) in ljubezni do ruma in viskija. S svojimi ciničnimi komentarji pogosto nasprotjuje TinTinovemu navdušenju in ga postavlja na realna tla. V kasnejših zvezkih si ponovno pridobi družinsko graščino Moulinsart. Več o njegovi družini in najbolj znanem predniku vitezu Francu Hadoškem izvemo v zvezku Samorogova skrivnost.
Captain Haddock first appears in the volume of The Adventures of TinTin titled The Crab with the Golden Claws and stays as one of the main protagonists and TinTin's best friend. He is abrasive, hot-tempered and known for his uninsulting curse words (Sea gherkin! Ectoplasm! Freshwater swabs!) and love for rum and whiskey. With his dry and sarcastic remarks he often curbs TinTin's excessive enthusiasm. In later volumes he regains his ancestral manor Marlinspike Hall. More about his family and most famous ancestor Sir Francis Haddock is revealed in the volume The Secret of the Unicorn.
