**Lord Royce Sturmwolk** is the wealthy and influential duke of Skyland, being the head of the powerful Sturmwolk family, which has direct ties to King Robert Koopa I, during the late 15th century. He is a supporting character in *Wars of Frozen Flames*, making his debut in the fourth part of the first episode, *The Feeble King*, where he lends Lord Richard Koopa, Duke of Sherbet Land, his army in exchange of marrying off Richard's second son, Sir Halbert Koopa, to one of his daughters (with Halbert choosing Lord Sturmwolk's third daughter Lunala as his bride), a union that would cause the Sturmwolk family to be closely related to the Koopa royal bloodline, thus fixing the family's reputation, which Lord Sturmwolk himself says was tarnished by his own father.

Royce Sturmwolk is described as being an unreliable man who values raw strength over anything, a description that is directly complimented by his rather brutish behaviour and unfiltered manner of speaking.

Lord Royce Sturmwolk is based on John Mowbray, 3rd Duke of Norfolk.

## History

### Backstory

Royce Sturmwolk's backstory has yet to be explored. It can be assumed that he became the head of the Sturmwolk family upon the death of his father, who he states had a negative reputation with the people of the Koopa Kingdom, tarnishing the family's honor. At an unknown point, Lord Sturmwolk had seven children, four daughters and three sons. However, it is unknown if all children come from the same mother or not.

### The Feeble King

#### Part IV

Under the advise of Lord Berwick Python, Lord Richard Koopa, Duke of Sherbet Land, personally comes to Lord Sturmwolk for help, as him and his men need support from his army, which is said to be one of the largest in Skyland, in case Queen Cynder Von Bohnenrotte and other Kayenne Supporters try to raise an army against them, and in order to achieve this offers to marry off his second son, Sir Halbert Koopa, to one of Lord Sturmwolk's daughters, with the bride earning the title of Countess of Snowball Park upon Richard's death, causing the Sturmwolk family to be closely related to the Koopa royal bloodline once again. After Halbert answers a question correctly, Lord Sturmwolk accepts the deal, allowing Richard to borrow his army and marry Halbert off to one of his daughters, with Halbert picking Sturmwolk's third daughter Lunala. Richard and his men intend to leave Skyland as soon as possible, but are advised not to as the sever weather conditions could scare off the musties. Lord Sturmwolk thus gives the Sherbet forces a place to stay for the night.

## Appearance and Character

Lord Royce Sturmwolk gives off the image of a brutish noble, being a large dragon Koopa with light grey skin, a grey head, and messy golden blonde hair that reaches his shoulders, as well as a beard. He has pale blue eyes and a pair of grey horns atop of his head. He wears a grey spiked shell, the spikes being surrounded by golden rings, as well as a pair of grey cuffs, one of each arm. His color scheme seems to be based on the Thunder Cloud item found in the *Mario Kart* series.

Lord Sturmwolk appears to be a brutish and crude individual, shown by his unfiltered way of speaking and by how he admits to having done deplorable things with no remorse whatsoever, such as admitting that he would take his own daughter Adelaide as a mistress if they weren't related or how he murdered sheep and peasants belonging John De La Korde's family for fun. Additionally, Lord Richard Koopa describes Sturmwolk as being unreliable, probably hinting at the fact that he is not someone to be trusted so easily. Sturmwolk himself appears to value physical strength and combat abilities over any other attribute, best shown by him bragging about both his army and sons and daughters' strength and how he allows Richard to marry Halbert off to one of his daughters after Halbert answers a question regarding weapons correctly.
