Ebenezer Blackadder is one of the many Blackadder ancestors from the BBC sitcom of the name.
He is a Victorian moustache-shop owner, and he is the most generous and kind man in England, though his kindness is often abused by everyone around him, from beggars to his own niece. However after a visitation from a Christmas spirit he is corrupted by the revelation that the ruthless pursuit of power will probably prove more rewarding (such as the fact his descendant will become Emperor of the universe if he's evil, and a slave if he's good). Consequently he begins to display the brutal cruelty, selfishness and cynicism of his family line. This however backfires after he insults Queen Victoria, missing out on a hefty reward for his former kindness. He is the son of Mr. E. Blackadder, and Grandpa of Captain Edmund Blackadder. Although his father became King George the fourth, he is not in a royal position.
