Unlike his boss, Redcloak is a patient planner and a competent leader, and has shown an inclination for scientific thought. The Monster in the Dark: An enigmatic, childlike monster that lurks in darkness under a pink umbrella. Although designated as Xykon's secret weapon, the Monster is terrified of almost everything, including the dark. On the rare occasions he has used force, he demonstrates incredible power. The paladin O-Chul deemed the Monster "a good man" after befriending him. The Linear Guild: An adventuring party comprising "evil opposites" to the Order. While the Guild originally sought a powerful magic artefact, its purpose turned solely toward defeating the Order after their first encounter with them. Each of their engagements with the Order results in the Guild needing to recruit new members, not all of whom last long. Recurring characters include: Nale: Elan's evil identical twin brother, the Guild leader. A multiclass fighter/rogue/sorcerer who specializes in enchantment spells, he looks identical to Elan except for a small goatee. Though more intelligent than Elan, his plans are typically vastly more complicated than is necessary to achieve his goals. He is ultimately killed by Tarquin for his murder of Malack. Sabine: Nale's lover and the opposite number of Haley Starshine. Sabine is a female succubus with shapeshifting and plane-hopping abilities. Though her loyalties are divided between the Guild and a shady group of fiends in the Lower Planes, she is genuinely attached to Nale and furiously angry when he is killed. Thog: A male half-orc barbarian with two levels in fighter. Roy's opposite. He wields a greataxe and combines a childlike innocence with a propensity for merciless slaughter. Last seen as a gladiator in the Empire of Blood on the Western Continent, where Roy defeats him by collapsing a building on him; whether he survives is unknown. Zz'dtri: A male drow wizard who wields dual scimitars. Vaarsuvius' opposite. Dragged off by lawyers after his first on-screen battle for being a rather obvious parody of the character Drizzt Do'Urden, a continuation of a running joke. Rejoins the Guild in their stint in the Western Continent, where he is killed by Vampire Durkon after helping Nale murder Malack. Hilgya Firehelm: A female dwarf cleric of Loki. Durkon's opposite. Quits the Guild after they abandon her to die in their first battle against the Order. Sleeps with Durkon in the Dungeon of Dorukan but flees in tears when he
