Dogmatix

We meet Dogmatix in Asterix and the Banquet where he sits outside a butcher shop and start following our friends. Obelix doesn’t notice him until the very last panel. They have been unseparatable ever since. Already in the next adventure, Asterix and Cleopatra, is it Dogmatix who saves our friends after they got lost in a pyramid.
