A rotund, vivacious man. He’s lecherous, crude, and rude, but also very well connected. And, he believes in good causes, though he balances idealism with practicality and can sell out if it will really benefit himself and the people in his duchy. Think John Rhys-Davies’ Gimli from Lord of the Rings crossed with Lando Calrissian (sp?).
Sometimes, you just have to go to the duke for help. You shudder at the thought though.
