**Blackmane** is a supporting character in the film, *The Enchanted Pup.* He's the younger brother of the late Queen Dalila. After the tragic death of his sister, Blackmane abdicated the throne where he moved to EverRealm to support his sister's in-laws as they cope with both Dalila's and Blacktail's deaths. Although, he's not a member of the Pup Family through marriage or birth, Blackmane takes care of the Pups as if they were his own blood.

## Background

Blackmane was the crowned prince of Owei, a Middle Eastern kingdom in EverRealm. He was next in line to rule the kingdom after his older sister, Dalila, retired or married into the throne of another kingdom. When his sister went to school in Chillrock, Blackmane was left behind to be prepared for ruling Owei. Although Blackmane excelled in his training, he became interested in religion and wanted to work as a priest in the kingdom’s chapel. Dalila returns to the palace after finishing her studies to get an invitation from her boyfriend, Prince Blacktail, that it is time for him to find a bride, and she happily accepts.

Blackmane traveled to Chillrock to celebrate Dalila’s wedding. Following the wedding, Blackmane returned home to Owei where he was crowned king. Blackmane ruled his land with spiritual love and awareness during his years as king. Despite his duties as king, he remained close to his sister. When the Bishop of the EverRealmian palace retired, Blackmane happily became the castle’s new bishop and helped prepare young Pups for their blessing ceremonies on their eighth birthdays. Blackmane was even present at the birth of his nephew, Sebastian.

A few years later, Blackmane gets a call from Governor Bloodmoon that his sister and brother-in-law had died in a carriage accident. Blackmane travels to Chillrock to pay his respects to his sister. During his stay in Chillrock, Blackmane became an emotional sounding board for the Pups, especially Sebastian who took his parents’ death, the hardest. Blackmane’s stay in EverRealm extended after his nephew left the palace and Dalila’s brother-in-law, Wolfgang outlawed magic following his coronation. Eventually, Blackmane abdicated the throne so that he could live with the Pups after Bloodmoon invited him to reside in the Pup Palace.

Because of his peaceful demeanor, tone and appearance, Blackmane is highly respectable religious leader that the kingdom comes in need for spiritual guidance. He is also entrusted with preparing religious events for the kingdom and finds joy in engaging in them.

Due to Blackmane’s role as a devoted believer, members of the Pups are immediately comfortable coming to him for guidance and words of encouragement knowing that his holy advice will lift the spirits. Even though, the Pups are not his blood relatives, he still treats them as if they are. Blackmane’s reasons for moving into the EverRealmian palace is that he felt that his sister’s final wish would be for her family to be taken care. Blackmane appears to have good leadership skills as shown when helps his in-laws with evacuating the kingdom to safety when a powerful storms threatens to destroy the city.
