Story so far
Stalwart was the orc royal from whom Rosetta and her people originally planned to extract what they needed for the bank scheme. The unexpected presence of then-King Rust made everything so much easier, and let her take her revenge as well.
Now Stalwart is dead, which is why one of the orc children aboard the yacht is the new king of the Skull Empire. Once Homecoming Queen destroys that yacht, the succession passes to Princess Formidable if she still lives on Earth's surface, and otherwise to the disowned Maestro.
Role
Orc prince whose death shifted the Skull Empire's crown onto a child aboard a doomed yacht.
Relationships
Rosetta — Her original target for the pin number extraction.
King Rust — Fellow orc royal whose arrival replaced him as the target.
