Richard Hannay Richard Hannay is the protagonist in five adventure novels by Scottish author John Buchan . The character is a fictional secret agent who was based in part on Edmund Ironside, an Edinburgh spy during the Second Boer War. Hannay was born in Scotland around 1877 and grew up around his father’s German business partners and thus learned how to speak German. He fought in World War I and reached the rank of major, serving in the New Army and also spying on enemies. The Richard Hannay novel The Thirty-Nine Steps was adapted into the film The 39 Steps by perhaps the greatest director of all-time, Alfred Hitchcock.
