He has only two real enemies: the young Bemarris, draconic hunter and killer extraordinaire in his mortal life, and Demogorgon, who has lured away from his cult many lizardkin races during the past millennia.

Appearance: Guidarezzo appears as a good looking man in his forties with short black hair, trimmed moustache and goatee, dressing with impeccable elegance (whatever the culture he appears in, he dons an elegant dress for that civilization) and displaying natural grace in all his movements. History (PROBABLE THEORY): Guidarezzo was a monk and a particularly gifted composer who lived in Blackmoor during Uther the Black's reign. He was the first to codify music according to modern canon (using the pentagram and the music keys), and he composed great operas like the Universal Canticle and the Requiem Mass. Thalia, patroness of Arts and Harmony, made him her protégé and led him onto the path of immortality. This path involved three key accomplishments. First, he defeated many other bards and composers in many musical competitions. Second, he founded the first Conservatory, a school for music arts where he trained his successors and left an extensive library of musical documents. Third, he created the Symphonic Organ of Celestial Harmony (or Harmonium), a huge magical instrument, mundane copies of which were installed in Blackmoor's and Thonia's richest cathedrals. He 54 finally became immortal in BC 3930 and was worshipped as Saint Guidarezzo. His main goal then became bringing order into the Chaotic sphere of Energy. He was responsible for the creation of the Faenare race and collaborated with Thalia in creating the Tonal. After Thalia's mysterious disappearance, he became the universal patron of arts and especially of music and harmony. His cult later spread to the Northmen, under the identity of Brage, and the Savage Coast, where he is known as Guy d'Aret in Renardie and Bellayne. In the Known World the only cult worshipping him is based in Darokin: the Church of Universal Harmony, where he is revered along with Koryis and Asterius. Personality: Guidarezzo is obsessed with harmony and universal order, and he thinks that the most sublime form of harmony can only be obtained through music, which is the purest form of art. For this reason he is only interested in creatures and individuals with great artistic talent for music. Because of this deep passion he often meets with Chiron, Tiresias, and Alphatia (whom he's especially fond of) to entertain themselves with ballads and philosophical discussions. He considers Palson a frivolous hedonist who lacks the discipline needed to excel in arts.

Appearance: Halav is a well-muscled red-haired human warrior with a golden crown, wearing a bronze cuirass and wielding a shortsword. History: Halav was a wise and brave Traldar King beloved and respected by his subjects. He ruled during the time the gnolls escaping from Nithia and invaded the Traldar lands (current Karameikos) around BC 1000. The gnolls brought with them only death and destruction. Halav protected Lavv (his city-state) with all his strength and cunning. Thanks to the help of Petra (Queen of Krakatos and later Halav's lover) and Zirchev (a powerful archmage and druid) help he was able to rally most of the Traldar monarchs into a league that prevented the beastmen (gnolls) to wipe out the entire Traldar civilization. The gnolls' advance was stopped near Lavv, and in the last desperate attempt to drive off the invaders, the three heroes stood against the gnollish army, leading a warband made up by all the able-bodied Traldars left. In the final one-on-one battle between the Gnoll Warchief and Halav, the brave king killed the enemy after a duel that lasted an entire day, and then fell mortally wounded. The surviving gnolls disbanded and headed northward, leaving a trail of dead bodies and sacked cities in their path. The Traldar Kingdoms were finally free, but half of the land lay in ruins and the valiant Halav was dead. After great mourning and funeral ceremonies, Petra and Zirchev secretly spirited away Halav's corpse, and the Queen raised him. Swearing an oath of eternal friendship to his comrades, Halav left his homeland determined to thank the Immortals for restoring his life by carrying out a quest to destroy the beastmen wherever they hid. Halav traced the gnolls' path back to the Nithian border, and after destroying a few tribes, he headed north, travelling through the current Orclands and later Soderfjord, learning new fighting techniques and embarking on the Path of the Epic Hero under the sponsorship of Odin. He was finally able to complete his Path when he reached the Isle of Dawn, where he retrieved the fabled sword Caledfwylch, an artefact of Thought. Wielding it as the legendary hero-king foretold by the seer Dallbard, he united the people of Redstone and future Kendach, helping them repel the Fomorians (humanoids) who had oppressed them for decades. He later sired Kendach, founder of the homonymous dominion, and after training him as his successor, he completed the path of the Epic Hero and ascended in the Sphere of Thought during the second half of the X century BC. Later he welcomed his friends Petra and Zirchev. He currently protects the Traladarans of Karameikos and the inhabitants of the City-states of the Gulf of Hule (descendants of the Traldars), and has a special interest in the Traldar Kingdoms and Milenia in the Hollow World. (Milen, founder of Milenia in Davania, was a Traldar King who had fled from Brun after the gnolls' invasion, eventually reaching the southern continent). Halav is also worshipped as Redhair 55 (Gruaigerua) by the people of Kendach, by the Northmen as Vidar (one of the Aesir) and by the Merry Pirates as Halav. Personality: Halav is a fierce enemy of all immortal patrons of humanoids, with the exception of Karaash, whom he respects greatly for his tactical skills and honour on the battlefield. He also despises Vanya for the hatred she shows towards his protégés (the Milenians), and tries to hinder her plans whenever they threaten the Milenians or the Traldars.

He often sports a malicious smile that makes him look mischievous and diabolical. History (PROBABLE THEORY): Harrow was a diabolus in the Nightmare Dimension eight centuries ago. After much practice and study, he became a talented sorcerer and an expert illusionist. His life was completely upset when a dimensional breach opened in his tower and he got pulled into another dimension by a more powerful mage, who held him as his slave. When he recovered from the trip, he found himself bound to the will of the first Master of Illusionism,
