[edit] Wolfrider Elves
Bearclaw (soulname:Grenn) male. Son of Mantricker and Thornflower, possible half-brother of Moonshade, lifemate of Joyleaf, father of Cutter and possibly Foxfur, grandfather of Suntop and Ember. Tenth chief of the Wolfriders, Bearclaw took risks, lived in "the now," and provoked humans for amusement. He had brown hair, brown eyes, a beard and thin moustache. Bearclaw was killed by the monster Madcoil after mortally wounding it. At the end of his life, Bearclaw's wolf friend was Blackfell.
Clearbrook female. Lifemate of One-Eye and later Treestump, mother of Scouter and an unnamed daughter (sometimes thought to have been called Moth or Moss), grandmother of Pool and adoptive grandmother of Windkin. She has a thick, ground-length silver braid and gray-blue eyes, although when her lifemate was killed she cut her hair off at the shoulders. Clearbrook is a tribal elder of Cutter's Wolfriders and is very serene and wise. One known wolf-friend is Bristlebrush, though there are others.
Cutter (soulname: Tam) male. Son of Bearclaw and Joyleaf, many possible deceased siblings and half-siblings, grandson of Mantricker and Thornflower, nephew of Treestump and Rillfisher, first cousin of Dewshine, first cousin once removed of Windkin, lifemate of Leetah (of the Sun Folk), father of Suntop (later called Sunstream) and Ember. Eleventh chief of the Wolfriders. He has ash-blond hair worn in a "chief's lock" and blue eyes. His wolf-friends are Nightrunner, Warfrost, Timmain (in wolf form), and Holdfast. Brave, strong, valiant, wise in the ways of leadership and with a deep love and concern for his tribe, Cutter is the main character of the Elfquest saga.
Dart (soulname: Dyrr) male. Son of Strongbow and Moonshade, younger brother of (the deceased) Crescent, much older brother of Chitter, grandson of Trueflight, Brightwater and possibly Mantricker, Recognized to Serrin (deceased daughter of Wing and of Behtia of the Sun Folk), father of (deceased) Bowki, soulbrother and lovemate of Shushen (deceased, of the Sun Folk) and of Kimo, lovemate of Talmah (of the Sun Folk). Head of the Jackwolfriders, Dart, very much a natural leader, took it upon himself as a young child to teach the Sun Folk to defend themselves, and later led a lengthy, fateful expedition to the far-southern Forevergreen forest. Dart has significant ability at weaponless martial-arts-like fighting and teaches his skills to all who ask. He has a slender build, russet-brown hair, dark skin and brown eyes. He is now a tribe member of Cutter's Wolfriders, living in the Father Tree Holt.
Dewshine (soulname: Lree) female. Daughter of Treestump and Rillfisher, niece of Joyleaf, first cousin of Cutter, first cousin once removed of Ember and Sunstream, Recognized to but not lifemate of Tyldak (of Blue Mountain), mother of Windkin, lifemate of Scouter and Tyleet. Dewshine is a huntress and gatherer, singer, dancer, storyteller, and the fastest runner and most dexterous of all the Wolfriders. She is tall and lightly built, has short curly blond hair and blue eyes. Tribe member of Ember's Wolfriders. Trollhammer, one of her wolf-friends, ironically was killed by a troll's hammer; another of Dewshine's wolf-friends was Longshanks.
Ember female. Daughter of Cutter and Leetah, twin sister of Suntop/Sunstream, granddaughter of Bearclaw, Joyleaf, Toorah and Anatim (Suntoucher), niece of Shenshen, first cousin once removed of Dewshine and great-niece of Treestump, lovemate of Mender, lifemate of Teir. Twelfth chieftess of the Wolfriders and first chieftess of the Wolfrider clan now living on Khulki's Mountain in the New Land. Creative, resourceful, brave, compassionate and forward-thinking, Ember has medium dark brown skin inherited from her Sun Folk mother, fire-red hair and aqua-colored eyes. Her known wolf-friends have been Choplicker and Patch.
Freefoot male. Son of Huntress Skyfire and Dreamsinger, sister of Nightstar, father of Tanner (originally Oakroot). He was a wanderer and secretly sired a son by recognizing a member of the forefathers of the Go-Backs, then a Goatrider, Two-Shadows when he wandered on the plains. The son's name was Hawkcatcher. He only encountered his son much later and was attacked by him, Hawkcatcher believing his mother's death was caused by Freefoot's abandonment. He was forced to kill the boy and bury him on the plains. He told no one, but it did not ruin his wandering habits. Sixth chief of the Wolfriders. Died when, while rescuing elf "cubs" (children) from a tree during a thunderstorm, he was struck by lightning (ironically, "skyfire").
Goodtree(soulname: Neme) female. Daughter of Tanner and Stormlight, lifemate to both Lionleaper and Acorn, mother of Mantricker and Speedwell. The eighth chief of the Wolfriders, she was the only wolf chief with plant-shaping ability and began the shaping of what would become the tribe's first Father Tree, later referred to as "Goodtree's Rest." It is believed she is the great-grandmother of Redlance, through her daughter Speedwell.
Joyleaf(soulname: Dehl)female. Sister of Treestump, aunt of Dewshine, great-aunt of Windkin, lifemate of Bearclaw, mother of Cutter, grandmother of Ember and Sunstream. Joyleaf had long blond hair and blue eyes and was very wise and kind. Despite this, she was a very keen hunter. She was one of the victims of the monster Madcoil. One of her wolf-friends was called Shadowsheen.
Kimo male. Son of Newstar and Lutei (a Sun Villager who was unnamed until Wendy Pini revealed his identity in a July 2006 online column), grandson of Woodlock and Rainsong, great-grandson of Rain the Healer, lovemate of Dart, close friend of Shuna, the adopted human daughter of Cutter and Leetah. Kimo has blue eyes, blue-black hair, and medium brown skin inherited from his Sun Folk sire. He has recently developed his shape-shifting talent and often turns himself into a wolf. Kimo, who grew up in the Sun Village, is now part of Cutter's tribe.
Mantricker male. Son of Goodtree and Lionleaper, younger brother of Speedwell (a female who was killed in early adulthood), father of Bearclaw and possibly others. Lovemate of Moonshade's mother Brightwater. Ninth chief of the Wolfriders, he was renowned for his constant trickery at the expense of nearby human tribes - yet he also forged a unique partnership with the human scout Demontricker, which helped keep the peace between elves and humans during Demontricker's lifetime. But in later generations, the human tribes kept up their harassment of the Wolfriders, and Mantricker in desperation kidnapped a human boy and cut his face as a warning. A band of five-fingered trackers angrily fired blind arrow-shots toward the elf; one found its mark, killing the chief. The boy, later revealed as "Scar," held a grudge against elves until his death at Bearclaw's hands.
Moonshade (soulname: Eyrn) female. Daughter of Brightwater and possibly of Mantricker. Possible half-sister of Bearclaw. Lifemate of Strongbow and mother of Crescent (deceased), Dart and Chitter. She is the tanner of Cutter's Wolfriders, taught her skills to Tyleet, and is now instructing Shuna, the human daughter of Cutter and Leetah. Moonshade has soft brown curls, violet eyes, and occasionally a bit of a temper and sharp tongue. She is quiet and not a natural fighter, utterly devoted and perhaps a bit subservient to her lifemate. Tribe member and elder of Cutter's Wolfriders.
Newstar female. Daughter of Rainsong and Woodlock, sister of Mender and Wing, granddaughter of Rain, niece of Pike, cousin of Sust, lifemate of (the deceased) Lutei of the Sun Folk, mother of Kimo. Weaver. Occasional lovemate of Skywise, her first kiss was with Dart, her agemate. She is very slender and has extremely long straight blond hair and blue eyes; while she lived with the Sun Folk she maintained medium-brown skin which, now having returned to the forest, she has lightened. Newstar has been referred to as the "elfiest elf of all." Grew up in the Sun Village, now a tribe member of Cutter's Wolfriders.
Nightfall (soulname: Twen) female. Daughter of Longbranch and Brownberry, niece of One-Eye, first cousin of Scouter and his unnamed sister, lifemate of Redlance, mother of Tyleet, grandmother of Pool. Huntress, gatherer, archer, valiant warrior, and great friend of Cutter, with whom she was raised, Nightfall is very close to being one of the main characters of the series. She has light honey-brown hair and golden eyes and typically wears a green-and-orange head scarf. Tribe member of Cutter's Wolfriders.
One-Eye (soulname: Sur) male. Brother of Longbranch, uncle of Nightfall, great-uncle of Tyleet, lifemate of Clearbrook, father of Scouter and an unnamed, deceased daughter, grandfather of Pool. Hunter and warrior. He had brown hair, a brown eye, and an eye patch. Formerly called Woodhue before humans captured him and gouged out one of his eyes. One-Eye was killed by a Frozen Mountain troll while fighting to free his son, Scouter, from attack.
Pike male. Son of Rain, half-brother of Rainsong, uncle of Newstar, Wing, and Mender, great-uncle of Kimo and Serrin, briefly lovemate of Vaya, lifemate of Krim and (the deceased) Skot of the Go-Backs, possible father of Cheipar (who died in infancy), "adoptive" father of Sust. Named for his great skill with a spear. He has puffy red hair and blue eyes, and is frequently teased by the Wolfriders for his great love of (intoxicating) dreamberries. Mischievous, happy-go-lucky and a follower by nature, Pike is a howl-keeper (tribal storyteller) and the eldest of Ember's Wolfriders.
Prey-Pacer male. (soulname: Owm) Youngest child of Rahnee the She-Wolf and Zarhan Fastfire, lifemate of Softfoot and Wreath, father of Two-Spear, Dove, and Huntress Skyfire, and others. Third chief of the Wolfriders.
Rahnee the She-Wolf female. Daughter of Timmorn Yellow-Eyes and Valloa (also called Murrel), mother of Prey-Pacer. Second chief of the Wolfriders.
Rain male. Lifemate unknown. Father of Pike and Rainsong, possible grandfather of Cheipar, adoptive grandfather of Sust, grandfather of Mender, Wing, and Newstar, great-grandfather of Kimo and (deceased) Serrin, great-great grandfather of (deceased) Bowki. Healer of the Wolfriders until he was killed by Madcoil, Rain, not nearly as powerful as Leetah or even Mender, had soothing hands and could "sing pain away." Often referred to as "Rain the Healer," he had red hair with sideburns, and dark eyes.
Rainsong female. Daughter of (deceased) Rain, half-sister of Pike, adoptive aunt of Sust, possible aunt of (deceased) Cheipar, lifemate of (deceased) Woodlock, mother of Newstar, (deceased) Wing and Mender, grandmother of Kimo and (deceased) Serrin, great-grandmother of (deceased) Bowki. Utterly devoted to her unusually large brood of "cubs" (children), Rainsong was called "Lifebearer" and "a wonder" because she and Woodlock had their three children within 12 years, a very short time by elfin standards. She had chin-length blond hair with bangs, blue eyes, and habitually wore a large sunhat. Died of old age at Sorrow's End.
Redlance (soulname: Ulm) male. Lifemate of Nightfall, father of Tyleet, grandfather of Pool. Plant-shaper, gentle soul, excellent tracker, and lover of children, Redlance has red hair and "face fur." Tribe member of Cutter's Wolfriders.
Scouter (soulname: Jial) male. Son of Clearbrook and One-Eye, brother of a deceased, unnamed sister, nephew of Longbranch, first cousin of Nightfall, first cousin once removed and also Recognized lifemate of Tyleet, lifemate of Dewshine, father of Pool, "adoptive" father of Windkin, tribal scout and warrior. He has a brown ponytail and sideburns, and brown eyes. Scouter has the best eyesight of both Wolfrider tribes, and possibly the worst temper as well. Tribe member of Ember's Wolfriders.
Huntress Skyfire female. Daughter of Prey-Pacer, sister of Two-Spear, lifemate of Dreamsinger, mother of Freefoot. Fifth chief of the Wolfriders, she gained control of the tribe after challenging her increasingly warlike, psychopathic brother to a duel. Skyfire lost the challenge and was grievously wounded, but Two-Spear, perhaps feeling his grip on the tribe slipping away, exiled himself along with about half the tribe members; his sister became leader of the rest. Skyfire formulated the Way of the Wolfriders, the ethic and habits by which they live.
Skywise (soulname: Fahr) male. Son of Shale and Eyes High, soul brother of Cutter and part of Cutter's family, father of Yun (daughter), possible father of (daughter) Jink (of the far future), perpetual "ladies' man," and lover of the stars. Casual lovemates are known to include the Glider Aroree, Vurdah, Maleen and Ruffel of the Sun Folk, Newstar, and the unknown Go-back mother of Yun, among others; currently, Skywise is admiring Krill of the Wavedancer tribe. Skywise, whose parents died at the time of his birth, was raised by the entire tribe of Wolfriders. Tribe member of Cutter's Wolfriders, probable future Master of the Palace, probable future Recognized lifemate of the High One, Timmain.
Strongbow male. (soulname: Wyl) Son of (deceased) Trueflight and an unknown father, father of (deceased) Crescent and of Dart and Chitter, grandfather of (deceased) Bowki. Archer and elder of Cutter's band, Strongbow and his lifemate Moonshade are the tribal conservatives, standing fast against unwise change and acting as keepers of the Way of the Wolfriders. Strongbow's psychic "sending" ability is the strongest of any Wolfrider but the spectacularly powerful Sunstream; of the rest, only Cutter approaches his mental range and force. He has russet brown hair and eyes and "face fur." His known wolf-friends are Briarsting, Lashpaw and Gnawbone.
Sunstream (soulname: Klynn) male, formerly called Suntop. Son of Cutter and Leetah, twin brother of Ember, grandson of Anatim (Suntoucher), Toorah, Bearclaw and Joyleaf, nephew of Shenshen, great-nephew of Treestump, first cousin once removed of Dewshine, first cousin twice removed of Windkin. Recognized lifemate of Brill of the Wavedancers; their relationship is long-distance. He has blond hair and blue eyes and is by far the tallest of the Wolfriders. Member of Cutter's tribe. He is one of at least nine known elves who can "go out" into the spirit world. Sunstream, whose sending power is almost unlimited, has a deep magic-sensing ability and is to become the conduit by which all elves communicate over long distances.
Tanner male, originally named Oakroot. Son of Freefoot and Starflower, lifemate to Stormlight, father of Goodtree. Seventh chief of the Wolfriders, he had one of the longest tribal reigns (some 800 years) and certainly one of the most peaceful, marked by the absence of run-ins with humans. He stumbled across the method for tanning leathers, after a human hunter (jokingly referred to as "Lift-Leg") inadvertently urinated into a bundle of skins he was storing.
Timmorn Yellow-Eyes male, not only the first Wolfrider chief but the first Wolfrider ever. Son of Timmain (a High One who had shaped herself into a wolf) and a true male wolf, lifemate to Valloa (also called Murrel or New-Wolf), but lovemate to many others, father of Rahnee the She-Wolf, Laststar, Threetoe the Father, Frost, Glowstone, Sharpears, Journey, and many others.
Treestump male. Brother of Joyleaf, uncle of Cutter, lifemate of Rillfisher (deceased) and now Clearbrook, father of Dewshine, grandfather of Windkin, great-uncle of Sunstream and Ember. Hunter and warrior, Treestump is the Wolfriders' most robust and physically powerful tribe member. Treestump was once named Birdcall; it is said his name was changed due to his inability to be intimidated or moved in battle. He has curly blond hair and thick "face fur." Treestump, the oldest living Wolfrider, is second-chief of Cutter's Wolfriders, and up until recently has been the one to take over when Cutter is absent. Due to the need of Cutter's Wolfriders for metal weapons, with great difficulty Treestump has recently taught himself blacksmithing.
Two-Spear male. Son of Prey-Pacer, lifemate to Willowgreen, brother of Huntress Skyfire and Dove, father of Kahvi (the future Go-Back chieftess), grandfather of Vaya (deceased), Venka and possibly Teir. Fourth chief of the Wolfriders. He launched a brutal attack on a neighboring tribe of humans he believed to blame for the death of a Wolfrider named Dove, which his sister Skyfire feared would lead to an all-out war that might annihilate the elves. Convinced her brother was slipping into insanity, she duelled with him to seize control of the tribe but failed, suffering near-fatal wounds in the process. Despite his victory, Two-Spear immediately quit the tribe along with his supporters; his faction later evolved into the Go-Back tribe under the leadership of his daughter, Kahvi.
Tyleet (soulname: Sohn) female. Daughter of Nightfall and Redlance, granddaughter of Brownberry and Longbranch, great-niece of One-Eye, first cousin once removed and Recognized lifemate of Scouter, lifemate of Dewshine, mother of Pool. Huntress, linguist, and tanner. She has hazel eyes and wavy, light reddish hair in a distinctive triple-tiered hairdo. Tyleet, probably the sweetest and gentlest of all the Wolfriders owing to her upbringing in a time of near-complete safety and security, is very fond of humans and once adopted and raised a human baby (Little Patch). Because of her close links with humans, Tyleet was the first elf to learn the language of the New Land humans and pass it to other elves. Tribe member of Ember's Wolfriders.
Wing male. Son of Woodlock and Rainsong, brother of Mender and Newstar, uncle of Kimo, Recognized lifemate of Behtia (of the Sun Folk), father of Serrin and grandfather of Bowki. He considered himself a Sun Villager in all aspects and passed his entire long life there. He had his mother's blond hair and blue eyes. He died of old age at Sorrow's End a few hundred years after the passing of his parents.

Windkin male. Recognized son of Tyldak and Dewshine. Adopted son of Scouter. Lifemate of Ahdri. He can fly and has long, curly blond hair. It is unknown what became of Windkin after Ahdri "died." Some believe he is the elf sealed in wrapstuff behind the Sun Symbol during the Rebels' time.
- Yurek male. Along with Savah, was one of the original elves who fled a faraway forest to found Sorrow's End. A rockshaper, he expended much effort creating the Bridge of Destiny, a rock arch high above the village, then committed suicide by letting himself fall from the bridge.
[edit] Glider Elves
- Aroree - female. Member of the Chosen Eight who became Skywise's lover and joined the Wolfriders.
- Brace - male, deceased. One of many Gliders who became an unconscious "tool" within Blue Mountain, he became nothing but a living brace rock-shaping a doorway to prevent its collapse. Died in the fall of Blue Mountain.
- Female Door - one of two elves who opened and closed portals within Blue Mountain. Killed in the mountain's collapse.
- Male Door - Unlike his female counterpart, this elf was rescued - in a vegetative state - from the collapsing Blue Mountain. The human Hoan G'Tay Sho tribe carried him to their new home in the rainforests of Sunholt, then spent the next 10,000 years building an elaborate elf-based religion around him. But Door finally awoke, drove out the tribe's leaders and began ruling his subjects as a tyrant. He Recognized the Sun Villager female Dodia, who, ashamed at being pregnant by such an evil man, beat him with a club. It is not yet known whether Door survived the assault.
- Egg/Aurek - Not much is known about Aurek. He is a rock shaper much like his kin. The only background we get on him is from the "World Pool" series in which he shares an out-of-body experience with Timmain. He also assists Khavi in helping her find her past. Aurek creates two "eggs," one is destroyed with the gliders, the other is taken by Kahvi herself as a trophy for her people. About a millennium later, he becomes a mentor to Jink, the elf-woman living among the humans of Abode's space age.
- Kureel - male. A Glider who was one of the Chosen Eight hunting party. Hated the Wolfriders to the point attempting to kill the tribe after the destruction of Blue Mountain, forcing Strongbow to shoot him down fatally. Strongbow eventually approached his spirit in the Palace for his forgiveness, and Kureel, content and barely remembering the nature of his death, granted it immediately.
- Tyldak - male. A glider who begged Winnowill to reshape his body into a bat-like form to give him the ability of self-propelled flight. Recognized to Dewshine, but took the Go-Back chieftess Kahvi as his lovemate. Father of Windkin.
- Lord Voll - Male, deceased. Founder of the Gliders; was dedicated to preserving the ideals of the High Ones at all costs. With the introduction of the Wolfriders, he realized that his colony had grown corrupt and stagnant. Was killed in transit in an attempt to reach the Palace.
- Winnowill - female, deceased in body but not in spirit. Healer of the Gliders whose mental state degraded with growing despair at perceiving herself as useless in placid society. Went on her own, encounter a troll whom she mated with to produce Two-Edge and eventually killed the father. She returned to the colony as a sadistic megalomaniac. She has been the principal elfin villain of the series. Eventually she allowed her body to die so that her spirit could wreak havoc worldwide, but Rayek intervened by absorbing her spirit into him. Since that time she has been vying for control of his body, even occasionally reshaping it into her female form, and constantly resisting his efforts to make her renounce evil.
[edit] Go-Back Elves
While the Go-Backs are technically immortal (with the possible exception of Kahvi and her descendants), they have lifespans no longer than -- and often shorter than -- those of the mortal Wolfriders, thanks to their warlike and reckless lifestyle; thus, in their attitudes toward life and death, they are more like the Wolfriders than like the other immortal elves.
- Kahvi (f) (leader) Daughter of Two-Spear and Willowgreen. Former lovemate to both Rayek and Cutter, as well as many others. Mother of Vaya, Venka, and possibly more. Very stubborn, rude and rowdy, she is a strong, loyal chief. Presently in a complicated relation with Tyldak.

- Urda (f) Kahvi's trusted friend, watcher of the children and co-second in command. Killed by the Go-Back Zey when she refuses to comply with the orders to attack the Sun-Folk.
- Mardu (f) Kahvi's trusted second-in-command, who later serves as the Go-Backs' acting chief when Kahvi is away (which is increasingly often). She taunts Rayek constantly and is finally backhanded for her tongue. Mother of a yet-unnamed boy, possibly Zey.
- Skot (m) cave guard, enjoys food a lot, to the point of this being a continuous 'joke' in the later series. Forms a threesome with Krim and Pike. He is later killed in the Shards era Battle for the Palace, shortly after fathering Sust and/or Cheipar. He had a strong desire to be a father.
- Vaya (f) Pike's one-time lovemate, she was killed in the Battle for the Palace. Kahvi, her mother, grieved for her, surprising the Go-Backs that in Vaya's lifetime, she had never seen her mother cry.
- Venka (f) Kahvi and Rayek's daughter, raised by the Wolfriders after her parents disappeared. Known for her temperance and her skill at countering any kind of elfin magic, particularly Winnowill's.
- Yif (m) This elf healed by Leetah, but later was killed in the Elf-Troll War.
- Yun (f) Skywise's daughter with an unknown Go-Back. Very stubborn and rude, as a typical Go-Back, she also loves the stars. Lovemate of Mender, rival of Ember. White blonde hair and pale blue eyes.
- Zey (m) Possible son of Mardu, a young upstart who took over while Kahvi was out. His henchman was Chot. He attacked the Sunfolk pointlessly, starting a massacre on both tribes.

[edit] Elves of other or unknown tribes
- Ekuar (male, rockshaper) part of an ancient group of elves (probably of the second generation), he was captured by trolls and used for his rockshaping skills, with dismemberment serving as punishment for disobedience. Thus he lacks an arm, a leg, and several fingers. Mentor and adviser to Rayek.
- Mekda (female, rockshaper, deceased) part of an ancient group of elves (second generation or thereabouts), she was captured by trolls and used for her rockshaping skills, with dismemberment serving as punishment for disobedience. After literally centuries, she became little more than a mindless tool, named Bag-of-Bones. Finally employed by Guttlekraw to force his way into the Go-Back's lodge and strike at their children; she died of cold exposure in the act, and was found by Ekuar.
- Osek (male, rockshaper, deceased) part of an ancient group of elves (second generation or thereabouts), he was captured by trolls and used for his rockshaping skills, but managed to escape into the desert surrounding Sorrow's End. His final act was shaping a niche in a sheer cliff wall, to crawl in and die. This niche was later found by Suntop through his magic sense.
- Teir (male, of wolfrider descent) has prodigious skills in animal bonding. Story clues indicate his birth tribe may be descended from the Go-Backs, and that their chief Kahvi may be his mother.
[edit] Half troll, half elf
- Two-Edge son of Winnowill and Smelt, a troll. He became a master blacksmith, but is mentally crippled by his abused childhood at the hands of his mother. He has an unusual interest in Venka, Rayek's daughter. He refers to her as his "maiden".
[edit] High ones
At least twelve High Ones survived the landing on the World of Two Moons.
- Adya (male, close friend of Timmain; the first to try to make contact with the humans, and the first to be killed. Possible father of her daughter Rellah. Blonde hair and blue eyes. He was their Eyes, seeing where the Circle of the Nine would go.)
- Aerth (male, Lovemate of Timmain, a healer and possible ancestor of Leetah. He helped raise Timmorn alongside Sefra. Auburn hair and green eyes, he was the Circle of the Nine's Ears, deciding why they would go.)
- Deir (male, lifemate of Gibra and father of Vol)
- Gibra (female, mother of Vol, her son with Deir, her lifemate. She was the Caution in the Circle of the Nine, holding them back. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She went after Haken after his banishment, hoping baby Vol would turn his heart to good.) It is possible Vol is meant to be Lord Voll; his memories in "Siege At Blue Mountain" invoke the images of elves who look like Gibra and Deir.
- Guin (killed during the humans' first assault, a close friend of Haken's)
- Haken (Timmain's nemesis, possible ancestor of Winnowill or Rayek. He wanted to conquer the humans. He was Gibra's opposite, Passion, pushing them forward. He was mutilated and banished by Timmain. Black hair, dark skin, and yellow eyes)
- Ima (killed during the humans' first assault)
- Kalil (male, possible lovemate of Kaslen. Brown hair and brown eyes, appears a gentler tempered version of Strongbow)
- Kaslen (female treeshaper, possible lovemate of Kalil, it was her broken arm that started the conflict between Timmain and Haken. Possible ancestor of Redlance. Red-orange and green eyes.)
- Sefra (female, Timekeeper of the Circle of the Nine, close friend of Timmain's. The first stargazer, a probable ancestor of Skywise and Shale. Silver hair and eyes.)
- Timmain (with Aerth, mother of an unnamed daughter (Possibly Rellah or even Winnowill, as Voll's memories portray her as once being blonde), and with an unnamed wolf of Timmorn Yellow-Eyes; the only one to learn to adapt to the world, and mother of the Wolfriders; still alive, after spending millennia in wolf form, and now in some complicated relationship with Skywise (It is rumored Jink is their child))
- Tislin (killed during the humans' first assault)
Even more elves, such as Rellah, Enlet, Almeck, Nefahrin, Menolan, Seeree, Oraynah, Marreck and Jennah are mentioned in the "Blood Of Ten Chiefs" collaboration novels edited by Richard Pini.
[edit] Preserver
- Petalwing - notoriously poor singer, and by virtue of its (preservers don't have a gender) big mouth, their de facto leader.

- Littlesky
- Bumbleclaw
[edit] Greymung's Trolls
- Greymung - was King of the Holt Trolls after refusing to leave at the command of Guttlekraw, rebelling and driving him and his followers away. Was killed when Guttlekraw's force returned in force years later.
- Old Maggoty - The oldest known Troll, knowledgeable in herbal lore, Oddbit's granny and great granny of Trinket. Rumored an old concubine of Guttlekraw when she was young.)
- Oddbit - A maiden who is an opportunist of considerable enterprise, and the love interest of Picknose. Assumed mother of Trinket, she has shown pity to elve's "stupidity" and "ugliness" on more than one occasion.
- Picknose - A soldier of the Holt Trolls. Was one of the few to escape when the colony was invaded. He was told of a treasure trove to which a key in the hilt of Cutter's sword provided access. After failing to gain the key, he and his companions went up north anyway to find the treasure and were caught and enslaved in the attempt. When the Wolfriders and Go-Backs invaded the tunnels of Guttlekraw's realm, they freed Picknose and the other Holt Trolls and formed an alliance that overthrew Guttlekraw and established Picknose as King. He lost the throne while gambling and hooked up with the Wolfriders who eventually allowed him to establish a colony of his own. According to the Pinis, his name comes not from any unsavory habit but from the fact that his nose resembles a pickaxe.
- Scurff - (sometimes name is given as Scurfball) - King Greymung's doorkeeper. Tried to prevent the Wolfriders from entering the caverns when the Holt was burned down, but was "persuaded" to let them in by Cutter.
[edit] Guttlekraw's Trolls
- King Guttlekraw - King of the Trolls of Frozen Mountain. Had a fanatical hatred for Elves, possibly encouraged by Two-Edge. This hate extended to keeping rockshaping elves in brutal slavery and worked to permanently seal the Palace of the High Ones from all access. He was going to torture the Go-Back, Vaya, for the elve's secrets, but she made an attempt on his life and was executed. Was defeated and killed at the hands of the Go-Backs, Wolfriders and the Holt Trolls.
- Numerous unnamed warriors

[edit] Monster
- Madcoil - A murderous monster accidentally created when a wildcat and a large snake, locked in mortal combat, disturbed a pool of decayed magic that was also hit with lightning at that exact moment. That combination of elements created the monster with a senseless lust for murder using its massive size, claws and psionic powers to confuse its prey to its advantage. Apparently, it attacked both the human colonies and the Wolfriders, causing numerous deaths before it was defeated and killed by the Elves under the leadership of Cutter. Regardless, the humans accused the Elves for deliberately creating the creature to bedevil them. It was later revealed that the mutual hatred between Bearclaw and a human chief had partially reawakened the spell and fueled the monster's rage.
