with a cheerful, friendly attitude and casual acknowledgement of the wickedness of his designs, overall Satan's attitude is highly evocative of Salsman's. Satan enjoys damning souls whether or not they justly deserve Hell's torments, he has a particular fondness for capturing other gods. It is later revealed that this is for the gods to serve as batteries for a machines that will allow gods to return to Earth. Secondary characters Emily - Ronson's late wife. The two were very much in love until she died of cancer on Earth five years before Ronson crashed on Arr-Kelaan Her ghost occasionally appear before Ronson, but only to disappear shortly after. He screamed her name at night. It was discovered that Satan had used her as bait to lure Ronson into a trap and bind the both of them in hell. It is claimed by Satan that, when Ronson became a god, his desire for her was enough to call her out of heaven to him. However, Satan's claim has been called into question by Inti, who stated that neither Satan nor Ronson had the power to pull Emily from Heaven. Brindle - One of Ronson's first "followers". Ronson first encountered Brindle in the desert, where he was attempting to run away from the General Shrub's army. Brindle accompanied Ronson through much of Going Home, and left towards the end when Ronson set up a tavern for him to run. The following years are good to him as he minds the bar and sires offspring. Brindle becomes a man devoted to his patron's way of not getting devoted: Laid-back and easygoing as only someone who has not getting worked up as a teaching can be, yet he doesn't care that much about the rules and gets involved whenever the well-being of those dear to him is jeopardized. This makes Ronson amiably noncommittal. Aanlonar - Ronson's second "follower", he was a friend of Brindle's in General Shrub's army, and eventually followed Ronson as well on his journey. Aanlonar is an elf of unusually large size, though he claims this is a "glandular disorder". Other people suspect that he is not pure elf, but likely has some mixed blood from an ogre. Aanlonar eventually left Ronson (with Ronson's blessing) for a life of defending justice by joining Mike. General Shrub - An unpleasant man, he created a large army on the orders of Beyurn. Grox
