Earlier in the thread I briefly sketched out this main character from the Mystical Realms who has been there since Season three in all of the sagas and also showed up in Tales two

Ok here is the additional part

The Clan Chief of the Manjura, (Formally the Prince Low Troll), is technically an illegitimate child of the now dead and deposed tyrant, "The Lord Low Troll" as his father, presumably out of vanity, never married his mother. The troll wedding ceremony involves at a state occasion removing ones top and placing it on their betrothed.

Female trolls who are not married are required to go topless, however after the short reign of the last troll emperor, Graeme Andrews this custom was relaxed.

The Clan Chief of the Manjura is of a different temperament from his father and never had the same lust for power, preferring the ways of humans and their democratic ideals. for a troll he is also smaller than most trolls.

Because he was part of his father's squad undoing the work of the major and minor spirits of virtue who had interfered with our world and caused another couple of mortals to fall in love with one another, like the Spirit of True Love had done in 2001, he was not around when the royal court of the Lord Low Troll was slaughtered by a mix of Drow and orcs, and so survived the initial coup de tat.

The Prince Low Troll as he was called then had actually come to undo what he thought was the work of the The Spirit of Fancying although the entity was really The Spirit of Fidelity who was brought up to believe she was her twin sister, and the work he came to break up was actually the product of the Spirit of Lust

He then teamed up with Graeme Andrews and eventually the two became firm friends, and it was the Clan Chief of the Manjura who recommended him to be the last Troll emperor.

Another facet of the personality of the Clan Chief of the Manjura, is that he is gay, and his love interest was Captain Strang, who for time worked on secondment with the new IDEC, until Strang's death when he was gating into the Facility at the precise moment it was blown up by the Magnus Timor cult.

The Clan Chief of the Manjura is now the leader of the clan that guards the dimension jump orbs that allow travel between Earth and the Mystical Realms. He is a crack shot with the cross-bow


This is his current status

[spoil]He has been arrested by the authorities in Venezuela, and has been shown live on CNN and other news channels and is being charged with being a spy for the United States of America[/spoil]

Incidentally the image used in the stories



Was actually from a D&D site and is of a female troll. I did not spot that until after I had used that image for quite some time
