Papageno

In the Duchy of Tradgardland ( pictured here in ceremonial costume ) the current holder of the Ducal sinecure - Master of the Aviary or Papageno as he is known , is concerned about rare visitors to the Duchy , namely a pair of Hoopoes. Underneath this innocuous role he serves another purpose as a recorder of dubious visitors to the Duchy. He arranges for such undesirables to be followed ,observed and recorded in his tomes. Strangers have been observed in profusion over the last few days.......

I thought that maybe he was a relation to the Grand Duke of Stollen (he of the lobster costume)

None stranger than the Master of the Aviary himself!
