Deku Butler

The Deku Butler is a character from Majora's Mask. He is the loyal servant of the Deku King, who lives in the Deku Palace. He is typically very proper and polite, and he is able to keep his head much better than the Deku Royalty he serves. He is prone to sentimentality when reminded of his son, however.

Biography
Prior to the events of Majora's Mask, the Deku Butler had a son with whom he used to race with, but he eventually left his home without a trace, leaving the Deku Butler worried.

When Link arrives to the Deku Palace, the Deku Butler comments at the sad state that the Deku Kingdom finds itself in from having a kidnapped princess, a poisoned swamp, and a king who will not listen to reason and only willing to blame a Monkey for the princess's disappearance. Moreover, the Deku Butler fears the Deku Princess has really been caught up in trouble, but since the Deku King is unwilling to calm down, the kingdom cannot send out troops to look for her. After Link rescues the princess and clears the swamp from poison, the Deku Butler thanks the young hero for his help and asks him to meet him in the Deku Shrine to give him a reward as a sign of gratitude. Here, the butler leads Link through a labyrinth full of traps. If the young hero manages to keep up, the Deku Butler will apologize for trying to outrun him, saying he was reminded of when he used to race his son.

During the end credits, the Deku Butler is seen mourning at a small Deku-like twisted tree found before the tunnel that leads to the Clock Tower. This is the same one that Tatl comments on at the beginning of the game. According to Hyrule Historia this tree is in fact all that has remained of his missing son. Apparently, the Skull Kid came across with the Butler's son at this spot, stripping him from his soul, which he later used to transform Link into a Deku Scrub.

Trivia
The Happy Mask Salesman inadvertently, but accurately, calls him "neat and tidy."
