Mr. Tudor
Template:Character Mr. Tudor is a character in Tri Force Heroes.[1]
Biography
Mr. Tudor can be found next to the small libraries in each of the Hytopia Castle lobbies. He gives Link tips on venturing out into the Drablands. He also appears in the Coliseum lobby, although the only tip he can offer there is how to blacklist other Links. When the Links are traveling between Stages in a Level, Mr. Tudor briefly appears to give them some advice.
Mr. Tudor has dreamed of being a renowned writer since he was a young boy.[2]
Etymology
Tudor is likely a corruption of "tutor", a person who gives private instructions. Tudor is also a name of Welsh origin, which was the Welsh form of the old Celtic name Teutorigos, which meant "ruler of the people". It was notably the surname of five monarchs of England.
Trivia
- After the game's credits end, the camera zooms out a little as the book closes, revealing Mr. Tudor's hat and glasses, as well as a feather quill pen, sitting on the table.
- Although not explicitly stated to be him, it is heavily implied that Four Eyes, the writer of the Drablands Diary, is the pseudonym of Mr. Tudor. This is hinted by the fact that Four Eyes writes about being employed at the castle, and had also dreamed of being a writer.[3] Four Eyes's name in the UK, Bob-cut Four-eyes, also references Mr. Tudor as he has a bob-cut hair style.
