Cyrus Vescovi
Cyrus often holds Pompadour in his arms and talks to him, imagining responses from his pet. Cyrus also has no qualms about using his Sapphire Comb on his beloved pet.

Trivia

 * Pomeranians originated in Germany as a favorite lap dog of the royal court and most, like Pompadour, did and still act like members of the royal class.
 * As a breed, Pomeranians are known to be highly affectionate and loyal. They may also suffer from separation anxiety due to their dependant and sociable nature.
 * During the game of Court of Whispers in Chapter 11, Theodosia reveals he is actually not a pure Pomeranian but of mixed parentage: he is 98.3% Pomeranian and 1.7% Pembroke Welsh Corgi.
