Peerless Thropp, the Eminent Thropp of Nest Hardings, was a wealthy Munchkinlander aristocrat who served as the head of the Thropp family for many years, garnering much respect and influence over Munchkinland.
History[]
In Wicked, he is often mentioned as the Eminent Thropp of Munchkinland, having come to this title by not having any living sisters at the time of the previous eminence's death, as the eminenceship is traditionally passed through the female line.
He has one child, Lady Partra Thropp who gave Ricco Rossbirth to two daughters before her own death: Sophelia and Melena. While the former would ultimately die from the flu, the latter would elope with Frexspar the Godly, a unionist minister who met the family while requesting an application for the family estate’s patronage. The two of them would ultimately give Peerless three great-grandchildren - Elphaba, Nessarose, and Shell.
Several years into the adulthood of his great-grandchildren, Peerless is mentioned as still holding on to life, though ultimately, he would finally die and be replaced as Eminent Thropp by his great-granddaughter, Nessarose.
Description[]
He is described as being the token moneybags: beribboned, bespectacled, and bewigged.
