Allies

Bodyguards

The Duke of Weselton did not journey to Arendelle alone; he was accompanied by his two bodyguards and made sure to the use them to their fullest. When Elsa's powers were revealed at her coronation party, the Duke immediately retreated behind his guards in fear of the ice spikes. Later, he hid behind them again, convinced that Anna had powers similar to her sister's. He also had his guards accompany Hans to the North Mountain, demonstrating unquestionable loyalty in their attempts to kill Elsa on the Duke's orders.

Neutral

Hans

The Duke of Weselton was often at odds with Hans, starting with an initial confrontation regarding Anna and Elsa; though the Duke was convinced that Anna was a "monster" like Elsa and that the latter tried to kill him, Hans defended the princess and queen. Tensions between them escalated during Hans' time as interim leader of Arendelle; the Duke protested Hans' giving away of the kingdom's tradable goods and told him that his trust in Anna was misguided due to her relationship with Elsa. However, the Duke stopped his tirade after Hans stated his willingness to defend Arendelle from treason.

Despite these conflicts, the Duke expressed shock when Hans stated that Elsa had killed her sister, and he firmly advocated action to stop her.

Enemies

Anna

The Duke of Weselton encountered Anna at Elsa's coronation party; after the queen declined a dance, the Duke settled instead for Anna. During his dancing, he tried to pry knowledge of Arendelle's isolation from Anna, but after the princess stated that she did not know, the Duke gave up the effort. The two continued dancing for a few more moments before the Duke allowed Anna to return back to Elsa's side.

The two encountered each other in the courtyard after Elsa exposed her powers and ran away. Frightened, the Duke hid behind his guards as Anna approached, fearing that she was a "monster" too. As he hid behind his guards, the Duke argued with Anna over Elsa's motives until the princess decided to pursue Elsa, a decision that the Duke was quick to support. Though he supported Anna's decision to search for Elsa, the Duke remained wary of the princess, citing his concerns of Anna's allegiance to Hans. However, he expressed shock when Hans revealed Anna had died by Elsa's hand, remarking with horror that she had been killed by "her own sister."

Elsa

Duke of Weselton and spikes — The Duke of Weselton reacted to Elsa's magic with suspicion.

The Duke of Weselton sought to make an impression on Elsa to exploit Arendelle's riches and was initially polite to the queen, even offering her first dance as ruler. However, after Elsa revealed her powers, the Duke's views changed dramatically, and he was quick to denounce the queen as a wicked sorceress. When Elsa fled the Great Hall, the Duke pursued her out to the courtyard and called for the queen to be stopped. This prompted Elsa to blast the Duke with her powers, causing him to slip to the ground, where he declared her to be a "monster". After Elsa fled Arendelle and cast a winter spell upon the kingdom, the Duke descended into hysterics, saying the queen had "cursed this land" and ordered his guards pursue her. He revealed the full extent of his fright when he argued with Anna, insisting that Elsa had tried to "kill [him]."

The Duke remained frightened of Elsa during the winter; after Hans asked for volunteers to help him find Anna, the Duke was quick to seize the opportunity to volunteer his two guards. Acting on his fears, the Duke gave them secret instructions to kill the queen if they encountered her, hoping to put an end to the winter. This attempt on Elsa's life was unsuccessful, but when Hans revealed that the queen had killed her sister, the Duke declared that she was undoubtedly a monster and advocated decisive action to be taken against her.

After Elsa thawed Arendelle, the Duke was upset upon hearing that the queen had cut ties with his kingdom.

-[[Hans]] and the Duke do have a slight conflict, though these are somewhat minute in relation to others. The first is when Hans is helping Anna argue a case for Elsa, and the second is when the Duke confronts Hans over the situation; although the [[citizens of Arendelle]] appreciate Hans' good will, the Duke is agitated by his giving out of tradable goods, and also Hans' willingness to meet the needs of someone who may be "conspiring with a wicked sorceress". Hans then threatens to charge him with treason, which takes the Duke by surprise.

-Anna first encountered the Duke at the party after Elsa had been inaugurated queen. When Elsa declined the Duke's offer to dance, she volunteered Anna instead. Although reluctant, she went along with the Duke's enthusiastic behavior. The Duke tried rather hard to win over Anna, to compensate for not dancing with Elsa. As he continued to dance, and thought that he was winning over the princess, he attempted to pry from her as to why the gates had been shut for so long. Not knowing full well herself, the Duke gave up the effort, and continued to dance. He then allowed her to return to the side of her sister.

-The two encountered each other again in the [[courtyard]] after Elsa had ran away. The Duke was shocked and afraid by the sudden turn of events, and insisted that his guards "go after her". Anna immediately objected, sparking the Duke to hide behind his henchmen, accusing her of also being a monster. The two continued to argue, with Hans also having inputting. Finally, Anna decided that she should pursue Elsa, to which the Duke agrees to with no objection.

-When Princess Anna's horse returned without her, he does not act concerned for the princess' welfare, rather using Hans' search as an opportunity to send his henchmen to kill Elsa. When Anna returned later on, he allowed - along with the other dignitaries - for her and Hans to have some space. Later on, the Duke was horrified to learn of the Princess' supposed death; he does not dwell on this for too long, using it as another excuse to kill Elsa, reaffirming her to be a "monster", once more. After this, the Duke had no more interaction with Anna, and in a state of bewilderment at the sudden but happy change of events, is sent back to Weselton.

-The Duke arrived in Aredelle with the intention of unlocking Arendelle's secrets and exploiting its riches through trade; being the queen and leader, Elsa was the way to get to this goal. At first, the Duke was polite and respectful to Elsa, even offering her a dance, but she politely said no on account that she "didn't dance", and told him that her sister, Anna, did. After Elsa's powers were revealed, the Duke saw it fit to reveal that he knew there was something dubious going on. He ordered his men to stop her, causing Elsa to become more distressed and further lose control of her powers, accidentally blasting ice at the Duke. This caused him and his guards to slip over. After he regained his composure to some degree, the Duke outwardly declared Elsa to be a "monster".

-When Hans asked for volunteers to help him find Anna, the Duke offered up his bodyguards and told them to end the winter by killing Elsa, should they encountered her. Later, after Hans had lied to him and the dignitaries about Anna's death at Elsa's hand, the Duke declared that Elsa was undoubtedly a monster and advocated that decisive action be taken against her. After Arendelle was thawed, the Duke was upset to hear that Elsa had cut trading ties with Weselton, never wanting anything to do with his place of origin again.

-It should be noted that a lot of the Duke's actions were borne out of fear, and so this caused him to act irrationally, only considering his own welfare. The problem with him is that even when he was kind, it was only when he wished to meet an end; he was all too happy to dance with Elsa to win her over, but as soon as the situation did not go in his favor, he altered his view, and would see Elsa killed if necessary. His view towards Elsa and her power is somewhat myopic, and with his prejudices and an inflated view of his self-worth, this outcome is rather predictable.
