Series arc
As of book 2. A voice from a trailer ceiling in book 1; in book 2 the face of the Skull Empire's malice — the ninth-floor statement, the pulse that hit the wrong trailer, the yacht the Valtay destroyed with the queen consort and his brother believed aboard. Carl thinks he was played too.

By book
Prince Stalwart in book 1 — Dungeon Crawler Carl
A voice from the rental trailer's ceiling threatens to drown Carl and Donut if they will not sit (ch. 42). Zev later names the show's owner, Crown Prince Stalwart of the Skull Empire, the Maestro's older brother (ch. 44), and Carl wonders whether the voice was his. 'That name is almost as bad as ‘the Maestro.’'
Prince Stalwart in book 2 — Carl's Doomsday Scenario
A voice threatening to drown them in book 1's rental closet; in ch. 19 a face: leaner than his brother, cruel-eyed, seated on the ninth floor with an army drilling outside, announcing a summary execution for sedition that killed a pop star instead. Carl thinks the statement was too ready — that Stalwart was set up too (ch. 20). The Valtay destroy his yacht, Queen Consort Ugloo and his brother the Maestro believed aboard.
