Character 21 of 22

Duke

Duke was the last character on the whole roster for a long time, and carries himself exactly like a dog who knows it. Reaching him at all is a real achievement (the walk it takes to get there is longer than for any character before him) and he behaves like he's aware of that too.

Duke behaves like a dog who has read the list. Reaching him takes a longer walk than any character before him, and he conducts himself as though that were only proper. There is one name after his now, which he has decided not to comment on.

He is not standoffish about it, which is the surprising part. He simply gives the impression that he was expecting you, and that you have done well, and that this was never really in doubt.
