* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]
Line 249:
== '''Binabik''' ==
 
Apprentice to Ooquequk, one of the original members of the League of the Scroll, the diminutive troll Binibiquegabenik (Binabik for short) wanders the lands far more than most members of his isolationist race. Together with his wolf companion, Qantaqa, they make a formidable pair and form a fast friendship with Simon after Binabik rescues him from starvation in the wilderness.
 
* [[The Beast Master]]
Line 319:
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: His mere existence is such a ''wrongness'' that simple exposure to it can drive mortal minds insane.
* [[Evil Is Deathly Cold]]: Paralyzing cold is how he freezes Simon's will and forces him to obey the call of Bright-Nail.
* [[Expy]]/[[Homage]]: As Ineluki, he bears a striking resemblance to Fëanor of ''[[The Silmarillion]]''. After becoming the Storm King, he's essentially a more sympathetic [[The Lord of the Rings|Sauron]].
* [[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: His backstory is a quintessential example of what happens when you go too far in pursuit of an idealistic vision of the world.
* [[Knight Templar]]: With respect to mortals. He has no sympathy for them and wishes them all utterly destroyed.
