Ross

I believe the answer is:

trinculo

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'new cryptic clue not last one among' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'three for shakespearean drunk' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'three' could be 'tri' (prefix meaning 'three') and 'tri' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trinculo that I've seen before include "Character in The Tempest" , "Jester in The Tempest" .)
