Tsar Lunar, known as the Man in the Moon or simply "MiM", was the very first Guardian who lived on the moon and protected the dreams of all children his ship. In the movie, he is shown to be a silent, but active, observer of the transpiring events. He is the one who convinces the four Guardians that Pitch's return was a true threat, and the one who chooses Jack Frost to be the newest Guardian to aid them. Although he never actually speaks, he can communicate through the shining of the moon's light, and is frequently spoken to by other characters. Pitch considers him an "old friend", North refers to him as "Manny", and Jack often asks him who he is, and why he was chosen. He is only ever represented in the movie as the moon itself.

Personality[]
Tsar and Tsarina were beloved by all of the People of the Golden Age, by their own people and by the other Great Houses. They loved their son dearly and as Tsar would show him the wonders of the heavens through his telescope, Tsarina would read to him from her Primer of the Planet by the light of the Giant Glowworms.
History[]
During the Golden Age the universe was ruled by the Constellations, groups of stars and planets led by great, benevolent families who governed with imagination, fairness and flair. Of all these regal families, the House of Lunanoff was the most beloved; if The Golden Age had true royalty, it was Tsar and Tsarina Lunanoff.
The Lunanoffs pledged to rid the evil from The Golden Age, and together with other Constellations, they built a prison out of lead in the farthermost regions of space. There, they entombed the criminals of the cosmos in eternal darkness until they became little more than shadows. And the Golden Age flourished.
However, Kosmotis Pitcheriner, the hero of the Golden Age and sole gate keeper of the prison was tricked into releasing the shadows and being corrupted by them, turned him into the Nightmare King, Pitch Black. He swore vengeance on the Constellations and attacked each of the Houses one by one, saving the Lunanoff family for last and threatening to turn the Lunanoff Prince into his Fearling Prince. In order to save their son, Tsar and Tsarina built a ship that would sail through the stars and fled to Earth, where the ship would disguise itself as a moon and forever evade Pitch's sight.
