Line 62:
* [[Magical Society]]: ''The Chantry Guild'' in ''Necromancer''. It's a loose alliance of alternative groups from Luddites to anarchists to satanists. They're all connected by the Guild's founder who wishes to destroy technological society to save mankind.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Bleys Ahrens, Tam Olyn
* [[Martial Pacifist]]: The title character of ''Lost Dorsai''. A fully-trained Dorsai who didn't want to fight anyone, he {{spoiler|stopped a small army by marching out to confront them -- alone -- and parading back and forth in front of them}}, playing [[Everything's Louder with Bagpipes|the bagpipes]]. Not just '''any''' music, either: the song he played was a blatant challenge, titled ''[[Your Mom|Su Madre]]''. {{spoiler|When some of them, who didn't know him as well as the others did, shot him down ... '''the rest turned on ''them'''''}}.
* [[Master Computer]]: The World Complex in ''Necromancer''
* [[Military Science Fiction]]: The stories focusing on the Dorsai tend to be this, however [[Gordon R. Dickson]] was less concerned about the particulars of military conflict that he was advancing his larger [[Myth Arc]].
