Portraits revealed through your current reading position.
The Skull Empire prince who faked his own death — revealed alive as the sponsor driving the war god Grull against Carl.
Prince Maestro of the Skull Empire, long believed killed when his yacht was destroyed, is revealed very much alive during the trainyard Death Challenge: he is Grull's sponsor, making his Dungeon Crawler World debut driving the war god against Carl. His portrait merges with Grull's so the god wears a distinctly Maestro-like sneer, and his taunting interview plays over the yard — he brags his brother Stalwart smuggled him into the dungeon before the ship blew ('Like I'd be stupid enough to be vulnerable like that'), mocks Earth as a society no one will remember, and coldly signs off to his dead mother. Through Grull he hunts Carl as 'Piglet,' savoring that Carl is too weak to hurt the god even with Princess Formidable's Bolt of Ophiotaurus — whom he calls his 'cunt of a sister.' A vain, vicious antagonist, thrice-humiliated, now personally hunting Carl's party.
A hair-covered orc prince of the Skull Empire with a condescending sneer; seen only as an animated broadcast portrait and as the face lent to the war god Grull.
Skull Empire prince and Death Watch host, faked-dead and now sponsoring Grull to kill Carl.
