Book I - "Please Kill the Neighbours (But Don't Piss Them Off)"

	His Highness, Prince Abner of Morat (Ab-nuh) Ruler of the Principality of Morat. A wizard, and a very evil one at that. Intelligent, rich, strong-willed, absolute ruler, vindictive, bigoted, and a bit of a sadist. As a hobby, breeds monsters in the foundations of his 600ft tall tower in the middle of the capital city of Morat.
	Ran T'uggoh, the Ravisher (Ran Tuh-ug-go) A Greater Demon. A long time ago, it used to, well, ravish, the lands that eventually became Morat and its' neighbours. Evil by (super)nature, as well as inclination. Some Demons are fine with just tortuing damned souls - this one makes the Reavers from Firefly seem lacking in creativity and violent urges.

 

Book II - "Finish the Job So We Don't Have To"

	His Grace, Devlan of Morat (Dev-lan) A bodyguard's job is a tough one. But when an angry Demon comes through the door wanting to kill your boss, maybe it's time to weigh up the pros and cons of the job again. A year later, and you're one of three absolute rulers (yes, I know, but his IQ isn't too high) of a country. Likes nothing better than swinging a weapon, getting pissed, and kicking any available puppies that happen to be around.
	His Grace, Tornak of Morat (Torn-ack) A bodyguard's job is a tough one. But when an angry Demon comes through the door wanting to kill your boss, maybe it's time to weigh up the pros and cons of the job again. A year later, and you're one of three absolute rulers (yes, I know, but his IQ isn't too high) of a country. Likes nothing better than swinging a weapon, playing cards, and kicking any available puppies that happen to be around - or anything else that's within range, as he's not the most patient of men.
	His Grace, Mortlake of Morat (Mort-layk) An evil wizard overlord can't do everything himself, so he needs other wizards around to take care of lesser things - such as repairing magical armour. This is how Mortlake became one of the three rulers of Morat, by being the first wizard that Devlan and Tornak found who could do that. With his nasty temper and policy of leaving things like invading armies to his more military co-rulers, he uses his near-absolute power to indulge his own depraved tastes.

 

Book III - "All's Fair in Love and Politics"

	Squad Officer Roxeth of the Order of the Green Cross (Roks-eth) Officer Roxeth is the worst kind of religious fanatic - one with a sword, and command of others with swords. She's not at all happy that her monarch is marrying outside her religion.
	Captain Grakna of the Grey Sword Tribe (Grak-na) Grakna is a fearsome and ambitious female Orc Captain. She was the only one of her father's offspring to live long enough to inherit his enchanted weapon, and hence leadership of the Tribe. Now she's doing all she can to try and increase her standing in the Orc world - which is a tricky proposition to say the least.

 

Book IV - "Things Never Go Smooth"

Princess Elena (El-ay-nuh) Despite the title, only minor nobility in Doronatha. She has a well-developed sense of style, and likes getting her way - and is liable to do something silly if she doesn't.

 

Book V - "Cult Following"

Masung (Mass-ung) Head of the small, obscure and secretive Rose of Fire Order of Shiburnic monks, and something of a fanatic. Goes to great lengths to ensure his orders' prophecy is fulfilled.
