I think most characters made the game more interesting, but I just want to name a few who have been passed over so far (or have been gone for a long time).

Forlan was the first person I met that made me think there was more to the game than just trying to correct my typos before hitting Enter. I don't think I would have kept playing after the first couple weeks if it hadn't been for him, Rebel, Theea, Armonious, Kraggon, Skylar (the anthian) and several other hithuals.

Since starting Marinda, I'd have to say that Rawcliffe added the most for me, but several others made it better too. Karon, Minimum, Pluck and Khalima were some of her first friends. I always thought that Pollii and Lillyth were great examples of what secians should be, and Amedeo, Ancalagon, Sebbien, Romillin, Gossamer, Allon, and many others made hunting more fun (and less deadly). Cheki, Dumb and Condie were always good for a few laughs.

Elgan talked me into staying both as Angellic and later as Marinda, so you can blame him for me being here even if he doesn't remember it. Gia was one of the nicest elders, but Vaille was probably the most diplomatic. Dune was strict, but fair and I think he deserves some recognition. Sorry, I'll save any others for volume 2 of this book if it's ever written!
