Name: Lord Fortinbras Toadstool
Species: Human
Age: 36
Height: 6'4"
Description: Fortinbras is tall, burly and broad-shouldered, with long, white
hair, green eyes, and a square jaw. He wears the gray uniform of the Army of
Sarasaland with a cape and white epaulettes.
Bio: Fortinbras is the pompous and arrogant Prime Minister, Lord Chamberlain
and Minister of Defense of Sarasaland, appointed by Princess Daisy herself after
the extraterrestrial invader Tatanga's defeat. He is persistent-stubborn, some
would say-and never accepts defeat. He is described by his subordinates as "habitually
wearing an expression as if he has determined himself to drive his head through
a brick wall and is about to do just that." Though not native to Sarasaland,
he is an avid Sarasi patriot. As Peach Toadstool's elder brother, he is the
heir to her throne, but he will not claim his birthright. In fact, he renounces
his heritage altogether, claiming he "came to Sarasaland to escape the backward,
antiquated ideas of the Mushroom Kingdom."
Before the arrival of Tatanga, Fortinbras served on the Sarasi Parliament. An
extreme militant, he was one of few Parliamentarians to support taking action
against Tatanga before it was too late. Obviously, his warnings fell on deaf
ears, and had it not been for the heroism of Mario, Tatanga would have been
the next addition to the Sarasi royal family.
After Tatanga's defeat, Fortinbras advocated the complete militarization of
the Four Princedoms of Sarasaland, including mandatory military service for
all citizens between the ages of 16 and 65, and construction of an Air Force
to counter the growing threat of invasion by the Koopa Imperial Doomship fleet.
With his militant politics he quickly became a leader in the Sarasi Military
Reconstruction. In order for him to oversee the transforming of Sarasaland into
a Nation at Arms, Princess Daisy created the office of Minister of Defense and
appointed Fortinbras to fill it, giving him almost complete power over the vast
Sarasi Military forces.
Fortinbras is extremely protective of Princess Daisy, and even more than his
protectiveness for the princess is his suspicion toward Luigi for his involvement
with her. He has very little trust of non-Sarasis, and Luigi's reputation as
Mario's do-nothing brother doesn't do anything to lighten that distrust. With
Luigi spending more and more time in Sarasaland, this distrust of foreigners
and Luigi's relationship with Daisy are about to clash; but this battle of wills
won't be the only battle shaking the Four Princedoms...
