Edwin鈥檚 warm, resilient wife; she becomes a confidante to Peggy and is nearly killed in a home invasion, deepening the stakes for the Jarvis family.
The dynamic between Peggy and Edwin Jarvis (Howard Stark鈥檚 butler, played by James D'arcy) is the heart of the show. Jarvis provides the comic relief and the "straight man" to Peggy鈥檚 serious operative. Their chemistry creates a "Sherlock and Watson" vibe that is incredibly charming.
Peggy is marginalized at work and contacted by Howard Stark.
