Name: The Chancellor
Likes: The Princess, Mario, any friend of Mario's
Dislikes: Bowser, Peach being always kidnapped

This guy was called the Minister in Paper Mario. That's pretty much what he is too. He helps the princess and gives her advice. He is very old but that doesn't stop him the least bit. He rides on Yoshi in the end of the game, and gives Mario a map and allows him to use the vault. He is always worried about the well-being of the princess when she is kidnapped.
