Connections
Species revealed
A huge orc; he resembles a tuskling but is clearly a different type.
On-air persona
Hosts Death Watch in front of a jeering live audience, taunting crawlers with cruel choices such as which loved one to save.
Appearance
About six and a half feet tall and built like a tank, he has darker skin than a tuskling's, covered in black, bristly hair, a gold left tusk, a line of earrings in his left ear, and a hot-pink silk shirt worn over gold chains. Carl had the impression he was only in his early twenties. On air he calls his audience 'piglets'.
Plans to be War Leader
He told Carl he was of age last season, but that season was Squim's, and Squim's Battle Royale has no Faction Wars or Celestial Ascendancy segment. This season he is on his way to Earth to be 'War Leader Maestro of the Skull Clan', his family's faction.
Prince of the Skull Empire
Per Zev, he is a prince of the Skull Empire. The Death Watch production is owned by his older brother, Crown Prince Stalwart.
Show went on hiatus
Odette reported that Death Watch Extreme Dungeon Mayhem had announced a hiatus while the show restructured; the infamous 'Pork Boy' video had the Maestro as its obvious subject.
