Butch (Francis Eugene Oswald) - Click for Audio Butch (Francis Eugene Oswald): Butch is Simon’s main antagonist. He has a cruel temperament, and while Simon was in his coma, he secretly became an ultramage with the help of Lord Vaylen. He is very athletic and was very popular back on Earth. He, like Simon, possesses internal Electro-Magical energy which allows him to cast spells during situations where no one else (except Simon) can. Because his parents were murdered, he lived a few years in the orphanage with Simon.

Dr. & Mrs. Troodle - Click for Audio Dr. & Mrs. Troodle: These two are Thorn’s parents. They are especially prideful and prejudice towards the large Puds, but are learning to overcome that prejudice.

Griffen Lasher - Click for Audio Griffen Lasher: Griffen is the last remaining person from his race (Marmasuelians). He is a good swordsman and fighter and an excellent magician. He has brown hair and honey-colored eyes. The most interesting thing about Griffen is that he can take upon himself the pains and ailments of others.

He has made a vow never to kill and he has a displacement sword that helps him to keep this vow.

Lord Theobolt Vaylen - Click for Audio Lord Theobolt Vaylen: He is Cassandra and the High King's brother. He was disfigured because of an alleged battle he had with the Raiders during the Civil War and also because he exposes himself to high concentrations of Electro-Magical energy.
