Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin III of Palembang. He is one of the 2 Sultans of Palembang,because he also has a rival. This sultan doesn't speak much(type of the silent/mystical Asian monarch?).He is descendant of the last great ruling sultan of Palembang: the 19th century Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II. After this sultan were 2 other sultans, but not so influential.
Because Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin III is descended from a sub-wife(selir) of his forefather, a young Palembang prince,who was descended from an 18th century great Sultan of Palembang and who was quite active in the cultural royal Palembang matters, installed himself as rival-Sultan.
