His Lordship, the '''[[Baron of Dorrel]]''' is a diplomat in the [[Honorary Consular Corps]] of [[Westarctica]]. He also served as the [[Foreign Minister]] from 2021 - 2022. In November 2018, he attended the [[Chiefs of Mission Meeting]] in Berlin, Germany along with other members of the Diplomatic Corps. During this meeting, he received the [[Peerage of Westarctica|peerage title]] Baron of Dorrel as well as a knighthood in the [[Order of the Snowflake]]. His title was named for [[Dorrel Rock]].
The '''[[king penguin]]''' is a large species of [[penguin]], second only to the [[emperor penguin]] in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on [[krill]] and other crustaceans than most [[Southern Ocean]] predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of [[Antarctica]], South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in [[Westarctica]].


The Baron's work as a consul was exemplary and he opened the first physical consulate building on Westarctica's behalf in Nerja, Spain. This event was covered extensively by the local [[Westarctica in the Media|Spanish and English press]]. As a result of his efforts, the Baron was raised to the rank of Consul-General in 2019. He was unofficially appointed to the temporary role of Deputy Foreign Minister in 2020 by [[Grand Duke Travis]], although he never exercised the authority of that role.

The king penguin is a large species of penguin, second only to the emperor penguin in size. King penguins eat small fish, mainly lanternfish, and squid. They are less reliant on krill and other crustaceans than most Southern Ocean predators. On foraging trips king penguins repeatedly dive to over 100 meters (300 ft), and have been recorded at depths greater than 300 meters (1,000 ft). King penguins breed on the subantarctic islands at the northern reaches of Antarctica, South Georgia, and other temperate islands of the region. King penguins do not live or breed in Westarctica.
