2. The Legendary Guardsman: Many times on Elika's journey, her party crossed paths with a humble guardsman, in kingdom after kingdom. Every time, this simple foolish guard was caught up in some adventure of the hero, and every time, his foolish and oafish nature caused an Incident which lead to him being fired. After one final encounter, Elika went to her destiny, and the guard went back to his kingdom of origin to re-apply to his old job, with much more job experience. Ten years on, as a Guard Captain, he's starting to worry that as a Great Expert on Elika's journey, any hope of defeating a new Dark Lord might require his help. He's been training for ten years to move from 'ordinary guardman' to something stronger, but will his training have paid off? Or are his claims of power and expertise delusions?
3. Dark General Suffurous (Suffering+Sulfurous) was, it was said, Velga's only true friend. A huge dragon, they were an equal partner in this conquering the world thing. Velga sometimes rode them into battle, and the Suffurous took payment in the treasures of kingdoms to do work on the side for the other Dark Generals. Suffurous most delighted though in terrorizing specific humans, wrecking their lives and watching them break down over and over as their fortunes steadily turned worse and worse. Sometimes they targeted princes and champions with dark curses, sometimes they singled out a single thatched cottage to burn each night where one human was staying. Watching in delight as they were ostracized from their lives and happiness, Suffurous was never more happy than seeing such people despair as they revealed it had all been for sport.
