The Grand duke of the Great Duchy of Rustles Island
Mantilo Moniwid born as a second child of the House of Moniwid family, but as a first son. This was the verdict of his destiny. Even if his father was quite lustful and crazy man, who cared just about games and fun, young boy was given to the tutors and everyone hoped that he will grew up in a more wiser ruler, than his father.
A lot of attention for Mantilo Moniwid gave his father‘s sisters and brother. They taught him royal manners and tried to form system of his values. His aunt Danarja was a priestess, with a huge and kind heart. Lady Inna was a Steward and very rational individual. Mantilo‘s uncle sir Leland was not just a perfect High Admiral, till Gilld grew up, but he was also a perfect knight, who knew how to dance with a sword. Of course tutors was chosen the best too. If we believe, that a person always excels his tutors, Mantilo had to grew up just perfect.
Actually, this almost happened. He learned all the necessary skills for the Grand Duke. Boy swayed with his sword straight, his mind was sharp and he knew how to control his temper. Until his father decided to take the boy to the Sea. They spend a whole year on the ship, playing, drinking and the boy, being just 16 years old had his first woman in a random whore house. Such relaxation with the whole crew of the ship left quite an impression for the young boy. He felt free and independent. Some believe, that the boy even met some pirates and made them as new friends of his. This is the reason why a boy came back from the trip with obvious changes. He became more fraudulent, started to show some oppressor‘s points of view and his stubbornes grew up as mushrooms after the rain.
When a boy came back, it was quite hard for him to continue his lessons. However, he was quite patient young man and he tried to please not just his father, but aunts and uncle too, not forgetting to visit Blooming Garden and the best Inn of the island – Pearl of the Great Sea. Though, usually, when he goes there, young man puts on commoner‘s clothes and calls himself Nanu. Though, island is quite small and even the best disguise couldn‘t be unseen. So, everybody knew, that this is the heir of the Great Duchy of Rustles Island, but everybody just took it as a game and just the ones, who were quite bold, treatened the heir as a commoner. Though, many people tried to remain mannerly polite.
However, such journeys through the island, while being just a commoner and sometimes even a drunk commoner, let the boy to find some common friends. Simple people really liked how a man is treating them. For this reason Mantilo has much more friends commoners than nobles, especially, when he was just a few times in the continent.
Spending a lot of time with commoners and in the lessons, he did not had too much time for his little brother or two sisters. Though, sometimes he spared with Gilld and talked with Draventa or Benigne about their girly things. Though, even if they did not spend too much time together (except these times, when their father took children to seek adventures in the hunting trips or just around city, coasts or Sea) Mantilo and his siblings are bond by a quite tight relations. They respect each other and love dearly. Also, the same relations relate Mantilo with uncle and aunts. Though, it can‘t be said the same about his mother. Mantilo barely talks with her, seeing her as a foreigner, who just disturbs his father with all the lectures and always bad mood.
When Grand Duke Radino Moniwid came back from the one of his usual long journeys with a young girl in his arms, Mantilo as his father was charmed by this baby. Some people even whispered, that the girl may be braught in the world by witch, that‘s why she is so flamy and seductive. From the day she was braught in the island Mantilo took care of the girl as she would be dearest treasure of the island. Though, all others hated the girl with all they hearts and even if her name was Emerit, people gave her a second name The Mist of the Island. Everybody thought, that she can‘t be trusted, some of them even seeked a possibility to exile her. Though, till the tragical death of the Radino Moniwid, he saved poor girl from harm. After the death his job is continued by Mantilo. Now, when she is 16 years old berry, the Grand Duke of the Rustles Island keeps her always very close and they spends a lot of time together, letting rumors to fly around whole island and even other kingdoms or counties, that these two has a strange love growing up.
However, despite of that Mantilo rules the island quite wisely, continuing the works of his ancestors and trying to keep things in the best shape, even if his overprotection and some grains of oppression may disturb. Moreover, this boy decided, that the House of Moniwid finally has to become more open for world‘s political affairs, especially, when one of the main goals for the young Grand Duke is finding killers of his beloved father. For this reasons he decided to come to Mobrin and oversee the diplomacy himself.
Some men leave people to think that they have no cares in the world. The Grand Duke Mantilo is not one of them. He stands, tall and lean, with the confident bearing of a man who knows what he wants and how to gain it. His face is tanned, like that of a sailor or hunter, with a frame of curly brown hair that falls just below his collar in the back, and a shadow of stubble over his cheeks and chin. His intense brown eyes measure everything carefully. Whether the object is a precious relic, a goblet of fine, dark wine, or the abundance of a tavern wench who will fill his bed with pleasure for the night, the grand duke knows the worth of all things. On most occasions, his expression is stern and serious, but those who are closest to him have seen another face with a broad, roguish smile and eyes that sparkle merrily.
The Grand Duke Mantilo Moniwid has very interesting personality. From one side, he is fraudulent, oppressor, stubborn and overprotective ruler. However, sometimes he wants to run away from everything, he dresses in commoners clothes (but not all the time, sometimes he keeps his proper outfit) and just visists Blooming Garden or is looking for adventures. Usually he likes to be called Nanu at these days. FOr such behaviour he has t o be thankful for his father. Some lustful parts of Mantilo were acquired with his fathers help.
- Fraudulent - one year with his father's ship crew, wandering around many coasts of strange lands, visiting whore houses and drinking a lot of wine, gambling… This year made the Grand Duke Mantilo Moniwid quite Fraudulent. Though, there is said, that this is a gene of his family.
- Oppressor - The Grand Duke of Moniwid is famous about his passion for commanding. He is very strict in political matters and with his servants, especially with foreigners and his family. Everyone must listen for his word and his word has to be the last.
- Overprotective - He is oppressor just because he is overprotective. He thinks, that too much freedom may bring chaos to the Rustles Island. There is nothing more important for the young Grand Duke than keeping his family members safe.
- Stubborn - this was in his heart from the birth.

| The Grand Duke's pet |

Grand Duchess Annya Moniwid nee Aberdeen : She is my mother and I respect her. However, she has all these strange mood changes. Though, usually she is in a very bad mood, especially when she sees my beloved Emerit around. Moreover, she tries to interfere in the ruling of the Rustles island. That is just annoying. She is a foreigner and she does not understand anything. She gave birth for my fathers children and now she can rest, doing her needleworks or walking in the gardens, but she is not welcomed near the table of political matters. Hatred to poor Emerit does not let her think clearly. Sometimes I think, that she may be involved in my fathers death. I did not see her crying, when his body was braught to us. |
 |
Priestess Danarja Moniwid : I have never seen more kind and more loving person than my aunt. I think this is way she took the way of priestess. Though, even the most kind people has anger in their heart. I wouldn't want to awake the dragon in her heart. I saw her angry one time. Sometimes and now nightmares from that day visits me at night |
 |
Inna Moniwid : I am so happy having her around. She is just perfect Steward and her advises are more expensive than gold. I know that together we will lead our nation to the glory. |
 |
Sir Leland Arto Moniwid : I would say, he is just a perfect knight. Our family is proud about his performances in the tournaments. Moreover, he keeps an eye on my little brother. Sir Leland was a High Captain some time ago even if he was always more interested in swords. I am happy having him around, because it's quite hard to look after my whole family. But I know my brother will be safe with him. |
 |
Princess Benigne Moniwid : My beloved older sister. I guess she is the only one, who is not in the need of my protection, maybe just advises. She was so good on gambling, when we spend one year with our father away. She tricked all his crew! She is quite strict and talented young lady. Her talents may be very useful. Her forgery and perception will help a lot in the future, I believe. I shall keep her very close and I really respect all her advices. Though, sometimes even I am afraid of her. She is so pure evil. I am lucky to have her on my side as a Master of Spies. |
 |
High Admiral Estevan Moniwid : My younger brother. I am really proud of him. He is just perfect High Admiral and people loves him. |
 |
Princess Draventa Moniwid : My younger sister. She is a perfect artist. I love her paintings and songs. Though, pure girl is a little bit lost in her minds. She hardly can see difference between the real life and her art, dream world. I think she is too naive and that is the reason why I have to protect her. I need to find her a husband, who would be caring and would understand her passion for the dream world. |
 |
Princess Emerit Moniwid : My beloved little sister. She was a flower of my father. He loved her dearly and I shall do the same. She is very clever young woman and very beautiful ripped berry. Men start peeking at her and I need to protect this lovely lady from their lust. Moreover, I need to protect her from whole family. I have no idea, why they do not see how perfect she is not just with her flamy curls and pretty face, but she has sharp mind and even being just 16 years old she gives just awesome advises for me. I will keep her close. |
 |
Princess Ciarrah Aberdeen : My cousin. It looks like she accuses me of my father's decisions and that is so childish. Though she tries to be artificially polite in public. |
 |
King Callem Kilgour : I have no words to describe him. I have no opinion about him at all. People are saying, that sometimes it is better, when people thinks about you bad. Sometimes it is better, when - good. But it is always sad, when you give no impression at all. I am not sure if this is this situation. Maybe I can say, that in their kingdom Queen is the King and the King is the Queen. |
 |
Queen Laetitia Kilgour : Not just beautiful, but also very clever woman. She is one of those, who you should fear and who you just must respect. |
 |
Caedmon Kilgour : I saw him a few times. He likes to write. Everything. What he hears and sees. I guess. |
