Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

YAFGC has accumulated a ''huge'' cast of characters, many of which return in lesser or greater roles years later. This page attempts to keep track of them. Characters are organized by their ''current'' residence, not where they are first encountered. To keep the list manageable, characters that appear only in one story arc are omitted.

The king of Drostardy. Really nice and chivalrous guy. He ends up marrying Clover.

=== Dewcup ===

Princess of the wood elves, first seen when Arachne stays with Glitterbranch. She later turns up at Black Mountain where she attempts to broaden her horizons. In ''Glon's Story'', she is one of several people abducted by Captain Matheson, and falls in love with prince Summerheat, one of the elves of the rescue party.

* [[Bi the Way]] - Possible, though Arachne is the ''only'' female she's interested in.

* [[Easy Evangelism]] - she has no problem converting a bunch of Drow to the light side - maybe elves are just gullible?

=== Glitterbranch ===

Prince of the wood elves, he meets Arachne during an ''Elf Moot'', gets a crush on her, and takes her home in an effort to redeem her from evil. This is not reciprocated, and Arachne seduces his sister Dewcup instead. In ''The Axe in the Stone'', he takes part of an expedition into Black Mountain to rescue Duke Elwood, but once in the mountain he leaves the party to exact revenge upon Arachne. This fails, and he ends up becoming her prisoner.

* [[Double Standard]] - he (initially) wants to redeem the drow, but is not above bribing their bodyguards to kidnap one of them.

 

=== Turg the minotaur ===

A lonely inhabitant of Black Mountain, because there aren't any others of his species around. In ''Lich of the Rings'', he leads an expedition for Lewie to the Tomb of Temshutep, only to remain there as company to the Sphynx. In ''Reflections in the Sand'', the expedition for the Mirror of True Reflection asks the Sphynx for advice, and the Sphynx sends Turg with them to ensure they do not abuse the Mirror. He is a powerful warrior, repeatedly shown fighting off multiple soldiers at the same time.

* [[The Big Guy]]

* [[Gentle Giant]]

=== Fang the Dread Pirate ===

A living legend of a pirate, although it's doubtful he's actually aware of it. He is hired by Turg to transport his expedition in ''Turg's Saga''. Turg is one of the few people to trust Fang, requesting to hire him again in ''Reflections in the Sand''. Kassim declines, but as he ends up shipwrecked, his other captain commandeers Fang's ship.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]

* [[No Hero to His Valet]] - The legend is quickly shattered for anyone who spends more than a few minutes around Fang.

=== Marion of Heatherdale ===

An elven bard who turns out to be thousands of years old. She travels with Ben and is a welcome guest at the courts of the various kings. In ''The Great Bardic Challenge'', she is one of the judges; also, in ''Wood Court'', she is a judge in the faerie court. She is apparently a member of a secret society involving swan maidens. In ''The Players'', she visits the court of King Runtherd.

* While not a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] herself, she is quite capable of understanding them.

* [[Detect Magic]]. She can perceive magical curses on people.

A treacherous lady with a desire for power. She is first shown trying to seduce King Eric of Drostardy, but her background is exposed by Clover. She ends up marrying Sir Aiden, and has a son with him, then drugs King Runtherd so that he won't have an heir of his own, making Vivay's son first in line to the throne. In ''The Players'', this plot is exposed, and she flees, pursued by The Fox.
