what was the role of the flimnap in the story gulliver's travels ?

Flimnap is the treasurer of Lilliput. He really has it out for Gulliver because he thinks that Gulliver is having a tryst with his six inch wife. Yes it is all rather rediculous but that's Swift's point. Flimnam joins Skyresh Bolgolam to plot against Gulliver.
