Manek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Manek is the son of Fiyero and Sarima in Wicked by Gregory Maguire. His character is a trouble-maker and does many things in the story that are sexual references. For example, he gets his brother, Irji, and Elphaba's implied son, Liir, together to pee off the wall as a sport while his sister, Nor, is watching. He also makes Liir take off his trousers to see if his genitals are green, like Elphaba's skin. Manek is very strong-willed and is considered by his aunts a better choice as prince of the Winkies than Irji, the heir. In the book, he is killed by a falling icicle, charmed (possibly accidentally) by Elphaba as punishment for Manek's tricking Liir into being trapped in the fishwell and keeping it a secret while the rest of the household was searching for the missing Liir.

Manek as well as his mother siblings and aunts are not present in the musical presentation of Wicked.
