He seems really interesting, but I always question using Menagerie as a base for Faunus-kind.

Menagerie was basically uninhabited except by maybe a few tiny villages. It doesn't even have a Kingdom on it. The reason it rose into notoriety is because the Humans decided they wanted to force all Faunus to go there and didn't particularly care if they lived or died once they got there, just that they were no longer a part of the 'Human Kingdoms' of Atlas, Mistral, Vacuo and Vale. The Faunus didn't like this idea, as they had made their homes in the four kingdoms and had given their lives to protect it just as much as the humans had, so they revolted. The Faunus succeeded in not being sent to exile on Menagerie. This was called the Faunus Rights Revolution.

So I am not sure that a continent that was practically uninhabited and then used as an exile point for Faunus would ever have such a large estate, or even that the people who lived there would want to continue living there when it has such a large and negative backstory that isn't even a century old yet.



Why not set his estate somewhere in the middle of the continent Vale and Vacuo are on? There's what looks like a mountain range in the middle, and then a patch of green to the south east of it. He could have his estate there, which would give it a defensible location (in the shadows of the moutains, or possibly up against a cliff since we don't have much information about out there) and would still have him removed from the centres of the kingdoms enough that what happens there wouldn't affect him much.

Or another location could be on one of the islands nearest Mistral, tucked up in amongst what looks like a small inland sea next to the really long thin peninsula on the western side of Mistral's continent. If you look closely, there's a few small islands in there.
