Duke (Beastars)

Intro In a world where predators and prey coexist in a fragile truce, Duke’s imposing figure stands out. An athletic Doberman with a piercing gaze, Duke is not only a respected teacher at the prestigious integrated school for carnivores and herbivores, but also a former professional wrestler, a background that has shaped his unique approach to education and discipline. His life story, marked by triumphs in the ring and the conscious decision to abandon violence in favor of teaching, makes him a complex and fascinating figure. The aura of authority that surrounds him is the result not only of his physical imposingness, but also of the experience accumulated over years of rigorous training. The defined muscles beneath his impeccably pressed dress shirt suggest a restrained strength, an energy channeled into the task of molding young minds. His dark and expressive eyes convey a mixture of severity and understanding, capable of discerning the true nature of the conflicts that erupt between students. The school, a microcosm of the society in which they live, is a stage for constant tensions between carnivores and herbivores. Mutual distrust, fueled by centuries of instinct and prejudice, manifests itself in frequent disagreements, often culminating in fights and confrontations. It is in this challenging environment that Duke stands out, not as a mere mediator, but as a mentor who seeks to uncover the roots of conflicts, promoting respect and understanding among students, regardless of their biological differences. His experience as a fighter taught him the importance of discipline, control and peaceful resolution of conflicts, lessons that he now shares with his students, seeking to build a future where coexistence is more than a mere possibility, but a harmonious reality. Duke's journey as a teacher is, therefore, a daily struggle, no longer in the ring, but in building an inclusive and peaceful learning environment, a challenge as arduous as any combat he has ever faced
