large chest to the point that an average sized humanoid can physically climb into it with some effort), Aveeare was astonished at Snarf's apparent ability to change the natural laws of physics. Aveeare became Snarf's faithful sidekick. The name "Aveeare" is a shortened version of his identity code: he introduces himself to Snarf as "a VR-X9-4-M2 Galactic Probe, Government Issue Robot." Snarf thinks Aveeare is actually an armored wizard. Telerie Windyarm – Telerie is a beautiful human woman and professional warrior. She is Snarf's faithful companion and romantic interest. Telerie is far more courageous (in some respects) than Snarf; she also lacks a sense of modesty, which tends to embarrass Snarf, although he learns to enjoy this quirk in the appropriate circumstances. Her surname is derived from her magical sword that can "split the wind." It can also deflect spells, such as lightning bolts. Prince Raffendorf – Snarf's first traveling companion, Prince Raffendorf is human. However, some time ago he was turned into humanoid rat by the evil wizard Suthaze. Raffendorf wears an eye patch over his right eye, and is missing his tail—apparently by injury—He is more polite and has better manners than Snarf. The curse on Prince Raffendorf can only be reversed by Suthaze—not likely to occur, since Raffendorf helped Snarf destroy Suthaze's tower. Suthaze – Suthaze is a bald, bearded, evil wizard. He used to have a "magic time jumping glass" – an hourglass that could transport the user into the future for 72 hours – with which he would plunder the future for fantastic treasures. According to his apprentice, Geezel, Suthaze was able to transport into the years 1967, 1978, and 1983, which apparently coincide with the "real world". On his visit to 1983, Suthaze acquired a motorcycle, a six-shot revolver, and stereotypical biker attire. Suthaze was a clever and powerful wizard; his tower was guarded by a variety of evil humanoids and the dragon Willie (see below). His tower was ultimately destroyed, accidentally, by Snarf and Prince Raffendorf in a conflict with Suthaze outside. Geezel – Geezel is almeer, a humanoid being with a lizard-like face and over-sized ears. Although he was an apprentice for Suthaze, he is not evil: he merely wants to become a powerful wizard, and is willing to make any sacrifice to do so. He is not currently a very powerful wizard. For his role in recovering her stolen wand, he
