Prince Maestro

A tusked orc prince of the Skull Empire and the loud host of a crawler talk show. After Carl and Donut humiliate him on air, his own father disowns him and he is thought dead in a yacht attack. He had in fact been hidden in the dungeon, steering a war god named Grull, a role he keeps through the later floors until a throne falls to him.
