– God of Honor/Valor, chief of security on the Traveller. Mike's a blonde-haired ox of a man without an unkind bone in his body. When he woke up with his strange new powers, he did the logical thing and became a superhero. For four years, he was the defender of the city of Kinidrius with a strong Superman motif both in his clothing (a blue suit, with a red cape) and his actions (catching evildoers, saving kittens from burning buildings, the works). Like Beyurn, Mike was shocked to learn the full extent of his godly abilities. He left Kinidrius, planning to teach humans to care for themselves rather than rely on him. He kept the outfit. Salsmen D'elgadath – God of Evil/Deceit, captain of the Competent Offender. Brother of Thanantria. Salsmen is a hulking man with a strong, roguish charm spoiled by his sinister air, and the primary antagonist. He's megalomaniacal and believes himself to be the one true god of the world. Salsmen's combination of ruthlessness, strength and intelligence makes him likely the greatest threat to Arr-Kelaan: will can attack for fun when he can, make grand plans when it's required and coerce or intimidate others to his side. Salsmen is a major character in "For The Death of Kings" and "Consequences", and a bit player elsewhere. He was originally planned as the god of deceit before being promoted to the primary antagonist – his name is a play on "salesman." Shadowscared (John Shadowscar) – God of Fear (being afraid), captain of the Traveller. He's afraid of almost everything, from ordinary fears like heights to fear of Abraham Lincoln. He was first called "Shadowscared" by Sephin, but in unenthusiastic company; most likely Sephin was just channeling the actual coiner of the name. Shadowscared's cloak makes him invisible and intangible even to other gods. Sharra – Goddess(es) of Fortune and Misfortune, a passenger on the Traveller. An attractive black woman who was split into her opposite aspects in combat with a non-Traveller deity. The two get along well enough, but calling on one can bring the attention of the other – or both. Their familiar is a talking dog, Pilfo, a boy who lost his humanity in the same battle (but appears to regain it as a young human man on his time off). Krushcor – God of Battles, crew member on the Competent Offender. An Ares to Beyurn's Athena,
