Wanting to win back his throne with a sword that his people can rally around, Mandar decides to raid the tomb Mandoria’s greatest King, He-Mander. Mander-At-Arms protects the tomb from those who would defile it.
“Beware! Only the mightiest warrior can face us and keep their soul! The unworthy will be doomed to join our ranks forever…” Mander-At-Arms
Monstrology Tome Description: The trusted right-arm of He-Mander who never remembers his actual name.
The Masters of the Universe franchise, created in 1982 as a toyline by American company Mattel, contained many characters in its various incarnations as a toyline, the television series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, a German series of audioplays, The New Adventures of He-Man, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002), Masters of the Universe: Revelation and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021) and the films The Secret of the Sword, He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special, and Masters of the Universe.
Man-At-Arms is He-Man’s closest ally, originally packaged in the Mattel toy line as the ‘Heroic Master of Weapons’. He is Teela’s adoptive father and is the inventor of most of the weaponry and vehicles used by the Heroic Warriors. The original minicomics depicted him as the latest in a long family line of great warriors and inventors, who uses the material resources at his disposal to aid He-Man. The cartoon series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe by Filmation portrayed him as the Man-At-Arms to King Randor and Queen Marlena of Eternia, who holds residency at the Royal Palace, where his workshop is based. Since Man-At-Arms is actually a title, not a name, the character is also known as Duncan. This portrayal has been adopted by most subsequent versions of the franchise.
In the 1980s animated series, Duncan is an inventor, soldier and Teela’s foster father, as well as a mentor to Prince Adam. The Sorceress asked Man-At-Arms to adopt Teela because she felt she could not raise her daughter and protect Castle Grayskull at the same time, begging: “Please, take care of my daughter.” Man-At-Arms complied: “She will always be safe with me for as long as I live.”
Man-At-Arms wears armor which is slightly different from that of the standard uniform of the royal guards. His mustache was not present on the original figure (which was also beefier and more menacing), having been added by Filmation to make him look older, wiser and more fatherly. Man-At-Arms has an understanding, fatherly voice. He is often aggravated with court jester Orko, and Orko’s magic tricks often backfire directly at him. Duncan is also one of the three people who know He-Man’s secret identity, as explained in the introductory sequence of the cartoon. Also, Man-At-Arms knows that Adam’s twin sister Adora is She-Ra.
More than an ally and friend to Adam, he sometimes shows him a great fatherly regard as a second father, especially when Adam has to leave the scene, taking his defense by telling King Randor that Adam has an understanding of his duties as a prince.
