Meet The Crew and Their Connection to Malta :
Beppe: Hailing from Mdina, Malta's old capital, Beppe is inspired by the island's beloved "Bajtar tax-Xewk" (prickly pear). He symbolises resilience and friendly curiosity. Beppe's adventures across the Maltese countryside, especially around the historic walls of Mdina, embody the spirit of exploration and natural charm. Enriched by the creative genius of Zack Ritchie, Beppe is a true testament to our brand's ethos of imaginative and boundless curiosity.
Tumas: Tumas, originating from Valletta, the capital city of Malta, is a tribute to the legendary Maltese Knights of St. John. Despite his small stature, Tumas's story of overcoming odds in the historic streets of Valletta showcases that true strength is internal. His brave and protective nature echoes the historic valor of Malta's knights.
Ninu: Ninu is from Marsaxlokk, a traditional fishing village known for its vibrant Luzzu boats. Like these iconic boats, Ninu is a colourful and sharp character. His journey from a cherished figurehead at Marsaxlokk to braving the unknown seas captures the essence of adventure and self-discovery. Ninu's story reminds us that sometimes, to find a new home, one must embark on an unknown journey, even with a hesitant heart.
Maria: Maria, from the mystical Ggantija temples in Gozo, represents the 'Fat Lady', an ancient statue of a headless fertility goddess. Her self-confidence and nurturing nature echo the celebration of life and earth found in Gozo's rich history. Maria's desire for normalcy, despite being worshipped, highlights the universal longing for personal experiences and connections beyond fame and admiration.
Mercury: Mercury is a contemporary icon, representing innovation and creativity, much like the Mercury Towers in St Julian's. His problem-solving skills, open-mindedness, and creativity reflect the tower's role in Malta as a beacon of modern innovation and leadership. Stationed in the heart of St Julian's, Mercury's presence brings a touch of celestial elegance and a modern twist to the Archipals universe.
