Fiyero Tigelaar, (or Fiyero Tiggular in the musical), is the name of the man that was Elphaba's love interest in the novel. He is an Arjiki prince from the Vinkus (or Winkie Country), who attends Shiz University. His family reside at Kiamo Ko castle as well, which Elphaba later goes to live her final days. Between the two works, the character is portrayed somewhat differently. Gregory Maguire says that he based Fiyero's name on the word "furious" but he is stated to have a different type of fury in the musical.
