Chancellor

The Chancellor of the Mushroom Kingdom is an advisor to Princess Peach. He is an older Toad garbed in green with gold trim. During the events of Super Mario RPG, the Chancellor assumed the duties of Peach during her absence. He is also overprotective of the princess, forbidding her from joining Mario in his quest to defeat Smithy.

Additionally, the Chancellor gives Mario a map of the Mushroom World early in his adventure.

It is rumored that the Chancellor is Peach's father. However, there is no evidence to support this.

A character similar to the Chancellor, named the Minister appeared in Paper Mario. The Chancellor is also extremely similar to Toadsworth.
