Duncanthrax the Bellicose, the first king of the Flathead Dynasty was a King of Quendor. Not much is known about his earlier life. One legend even suggests that Duncanthrax was a demon who assumed human form. Another legend describes him as a former rope salesman. Some historians insist that Duncanthrax was general of the Royal Militia: A petition signed by palace guards in 657 GUE, asking for an increase in the mosquito netting allotment, bears a signature that looks suspiciously like "Duncanthrax."
