Personality: Manfred hangs on like a leech to those who appreciate him. It was this clingy personality that held back his writing career.

Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Manfred is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He was born a particularly ugly child, much to the horror of his parents. When he came of age, he joined a caravan that would eventually take him to the capital.
