Who is this pony?


CT-1138

Recommended Posts

His portrait first appeared in Mmmystery on the Friendship Express, and then it popped up again in the old Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters:

He evidently looks like some sort of military commander or pony of other hierarchical importance, and he apparently lived over a millennium ago if his portrait is so old. But who is he? Any guesses? Fanon names? Archduke Furdinand, perhaps?

Archduke Furdinand? Hahahaha. Clever name. Honestly though I don't think the writers... or should I say the storyboardists, since they were probably the ones who decided to put that in, I do not think they intended from him to be somepony special. They probably just decided to reuse that picture.

 

As for Fanon names though... I don't know. I haven't really seen any yet, though I'm sure in the near future he would have a proper name and backstory dedicated to him.  :lol:

Maybe he was involved with the royal guard? I dunno, especially since I haven't seen the newest episode so I might be taking that out of context, but he seems like maybe an old commander for the Royal Guard or something. I mean, we've never seen them wearing anything but armor, but I'm sure they have some kind of formal attire as well.

Could just be they didn't have anything to put there, so they just used the same one for decoration. Or maybe it's part of a huge plot...

Fancy Face sounds very fitting!^^

Ah, definitely looking forward to see what Season 4 will do. Nice eye for that :)

Its obviously commander puddinghead without his puddinghead. Why else would his portrait be everywhere?

Thats one I hadn't heard before! I could easily imagine he's Chancellor Puddinghead. It'd at least explain why he's got a portrait in the Old Royal Castle. Perhaps that mare to the left of him is Smart Cookie?

Is nobody else more curious about the apparent super-important moose they memorialized in this castle?

That's a scene from the 'Mmmystery on the Friendship Express' episode, they're on a train.  Don't you remember the 'Chocolate Moose' Mulia Mild created for that one compation thing.

First I think he is some kind of war hero or general and in picture #2 to the left of him is I think Granny Smith or possibly her mother or grandmother.

Nice find! I'm not sure who he is, maybe it will be revealed this season. Or, animators couldn't be stuffed to make a new portrait. The first option sounds much more exciting though. :D

I hope we go with the first one! :wub:
