Profile[]
Appearance[]
Duke Dunan is a portly man with brown hair in a bowl cut style and a wispy mustache and soul patch. Dunan dresses extremely flamboyantly and with extravagance, with many vivid colors such as bright reds, gold and purple.
He wears a very frilly white shirt with a ruffled collar, gold trimmed purple coat with lacy spikes along the hem, a red sleeveless long coat with gold patterns and a long white scarf. he also wears orange leggings and white stockings with brown shoes complete with little purple bows. the Duke also has lots of jewelry such as rings and earrings, and a brooch on his neck wear.
Personality[]
Dunan is initially a pampered, lazy, cowardly, dull-witted, self-centered and bigoted aristocrat. His attitude towards the lower classes in society ranges from patronizing to contemptuous, and he has expressed vehemently misogynistic opinions. He will often times take stuff that doesn't belong to him, and can be quite selfish and stubborn in doing so (due to his inherent belief that he will be the next king). As such he thinks that due to his noble lineage, he should be automatically given anything he wants (such as when he steals Estelle's and Joshua's hotel room in Ruan and when he tries to rent out all the rooms and the kitchen at Air-Letten Pass), much to the grievances of his butler, Phillip Runall, but made him an ideal puppet for Alan Richard and his plans for a coup d'etat.
However, after Estelle rescued him from a second coup attempt by Kanone Almathea, he starts to become a more responsible person. He is seen to be engaging with the Grancel citizens to address their concerns during the orbal shutdown caused by the Aureole's reappearance, which caused widespread panic as well as standing against the Enforcers of Ouroboros when they attacked Grancel Castle, however futile resistance was. It was in this latter moment that his Butler, former captain the Royal Guard, Philip expressed his pride at the former's character development.
He has a habit of voicing his opinions openly, and has also proven to be very gullible on multiple occasions.
