Zanoba Shirone is a doll loving prince.

Appearance

He is a tall, thin, oval-faced man, with his cheekbones clearly visible. He wears round glasses.

Personality

He is impulsive and cares a lot about dolls to the point of disregarding life. He has utmost respect towards Rudeus, his master. Although he used to think of other humans as nothing more than dolls made of flesh, after meeting Rudeus and due to the influence Rudeus had on him he slowly accepted other people. While not usually showing, Zanoba harbors a deep gratitude for his country and a fondness of warfare. He is highly intelligent and specialised in military tactics, capable of rally and ambush against tremendous odds.

Due to his intellectual level, he has been conducting research and producing several inventions for Rudeus.

It's later revealed that his patriotism, fondness for warfare and his love for Pax were simple attempts to act more like a human being, learning from Rudeus and people around him. Even though he does not fully understand such emotions, he feels like they are the right things to act on.

Background

Born as the Third Prince of Shirone. When he was three years old, he killed his brother, the Fourth prince, as if his brother was a doll. When he was 15 years old, he killed his wife, as if she was a doll.
