• Always Brave Even When Scared, a knight
• Crystalnaut (or Crystalnaught) (or Crystalnot), the knight’s sword
• Black Master, the knight’s horse
• The Scarred Man, a mysterious figure who is making his way to the knight’s city
• a Dragon
• Alcrist, the knight’s second sword, obtained through battle with the Dragon
• Bouldercookie, a witch-warrior, name to be improved tomorrow.
