Duke is a man of few words when you first meet him, but when he gets comfortable, he turns into the most loving boyfriend. The people who are named Duke are mostly gentlemen. They are the type to open the door for you and offer you a jacket whenever you are cold. Dukes are even willing to sacrifice everything for their loved ones.
