Flimnap is a treacherous, envious Lord Chancellor of the Treasury of Lilliputian’s country. He feels genuine disgust to a Gulliver and cannot stand being around him. He is sure that his wife and Gulliver are having an affair and becomes his deadly enemy in court. Once he notices to the Emperor that the maintenance of Men's Mountain has already costed the Lilliputians country more than 1.5 million of their the largest gold coin, and advised to get rid of Gulliver at the earliest opportunity. Gulliver soon notices that he is losing the attachment of the Emperor. We can see that Fimnap has a considerable influence on the Emperor's thoughts and can manipulate him however he wants. He is a sneaky, mean, immoral and sour-tempered person.
