Warden of Fort Meropide. Without unnecessary verbiage, he supervises that taciturn place on the seabed where banished criminals go. When someone flatters the Most Illustrious Mr. Duke for being so good at solving problems, he puts down his cup of tea and... grabs a newspaper; "You're not getting it right. Those people just want a place with rules to live in. I just give them the peace of mind they need."
