Prince Rupert

Rupert is a member of the Right Honorable Wicked Stepmothers' Traveling, Drinking, and Debating Society in the Men's Auxiliary for fifteen years when Mendanbar, Telemain, Cimorene, Willin, and Morwen meet him. He has guardianship of his nephew, the Crown Prince Jorillam, but is trying to take over the kingdom. He has tried many things to be a wicked uncle, but all of them have failed. His latest failure is getting his nephew lost in the Enchanted Forest. He is happy to stay at the castle in a comfortable room while everyone is off to rescue Kazul and eventually takes Mendanbar's suggestion to drop the boy off with Herman, who now runs a boarding school for long-lost heirs. He sends the documentation of his dastardly deed to his club, who make him an official wicked uncle. He arrives last minute to Mandanbar and Cimorene's wedding, looking very wicked in his fancy clothes and fake mustache.
