Nipp, Lord of Dragon Cupboard was a former Prime Minister of Munchkinland, having served as the leader of province between the Eminences of Nessarose Thropp and La Mombey Impeccata.
Wicked[]
Following the death of the Eminence of Munchkinland, Nessarose Thropp, Nipp, a concierge at Colwen Grounds, elects himself emergency Prime Minister of Munchkinland and becomes the interim leader of the whole country. To centralize control over Munchkinland, Nipp and other former ministers of Nessarose would begin to claim to Elphaba that the title of Eminent Thropp, and therefore the entire Eminency of Munchkinland, was to be revoked and declared fully extinct. However, this claim, and their right to do this is thought dubious.
Out of Oz[]
After retiring with honors, Nipp later serves under Munchkinland's newly appointed Eminence, La Mombey Impeccata, a sorceress chosen to lead the nation into civil war against Loyal Oz. For his service to Munchkinland, Mombey awards Nipp with the peerage title of “Lord of Dragon Cupboard”.
At the new Munchkinland capital of Bright Lettins, Nipp is made to oversee Dorothy Gale’s trial for the murders of “saints” Nessarose and Elphaba Thropp, calling their deaths "regicide." Dorothy is imprisoned against her will and is used as a mere scapegoat left accountable for the deaths of the two Thropp sisters who died decades prior; a distraction for Mombey’s plan to attack the Emerald City.
Nipp and his court finds Dorothy guilty of all charges, and she is sentenced. However, Brrr, the Cowardly Lion comes to her aid and rescues her from the harsh sentence, getting her out of Munchkinland before "things get ugly".
Description[]
Nipp is described as being among the taller of Munchkinlanders. When he served as the magistrate during Dorothy's trial, he wore a conical hat with a brim that was sprightly with felt balls.
