<> <> The Right Reverend Minister-Twotongues-is-a-Heartless-Wretch-ius was an [[Archimandrite of New Canterlot]] during the reign of King [[Day Star]]. His birth name was Valid Point. Upon elevation to the archimandracy, he took the unusual regnal name Minister-Twotongues-is-a-Heartless-Wretch-ius to criticize the [[Twotongues|current Prime Minister]] at the time of his elevation, whose isolationist stance the archimandrite believed to threaten the lives of refugees wishing to settle in [[New Equestria]]. Monuments in New Canterlot are always blessed by the archimandrite, and have an inscription to that effect. The words [[Translation Convention|translating as]] "Minister Twotongues is a heartless wretch" thus appear on several monuments in New Canterlot, including a statue of Minister Twotongues erected by his supporters on the occasion of his retirement from politics. Though New Equestrian historians have generally sided with the non-isolationists, including the King and the minority in parliament, Minister-Twotongues-is-a-Heartless-Wretch-ius' politicized choice of regnal name and insistence on exercising his right to bless and inscribe numerous things in and around polling stations has been looked on less favorably by them.
