Original with a question mark is appropriate, since my profoundest impressions of the character are only based clearly upon one scene. I really can't quite recall how he panned out throughout the story arc.
I do remember thinking there was something rather human-centric about the books all those years ago, despite virtually all the characters being animals, and thinking it could be almost an allegory for white-centrism. I was vaguely aware that there were such accusations floating about. But yeah I don't care to take a stance on it without actually reading Kipling extensively, which is not exactly high on my list of priorities.
