Admiral Pansy is the Head of the Department of Bad Parody. While in all likelihood he is probably not an admiral, he possesses all of the trappings of one. He wears a gaudy, out-of-date naval uniform covered with medals, punctuates his announcements and arrivals with a bosun's whistle, and is fond of saluting both agents and other Flowers. His name is also part of this performance, as he is not one of the Firstborn, having Awakened in Headquarters and been brought up in the Nursery. He is still not a young Flower, as he grew up there in the days before the Nursery was mostly responsible for agents' children. Many in the PPC consider him to be a little eccentric.
