Trivia[]

  • While some people mistake Duke's wardrobe as a Ku Klux Klan outfit, it's supposed to resemble a capirote, a pointed hat worn by Spanish Christian priests during Easter. This ties into the definition of the name "Saint Rose Crusaders".
  • All of the Saint Rose Crusaders' codenames are based on different breeds of roses. Duke is named after the Duke of Edinburgh Rose.
