Lord Langwidere of Ev and Corporal Ryan Carroll from "Pirates of the Nonestic"
Lord Langwidere of Ev
First appearance: Tin Man: Pirates of the Nonestic Chapter Thirty-Nine
Tobias Langwidere is the twentieth Lord of Langwidere. He was appointed Court Ambassador during the reign of DG's grandmother, and decided that ushering in a joining of the Outer Zone and the Kingdom of Ev by marrying their respective heirs was his ticket into the history books.
Then Princess Galinda of the O.Z. wrecked all the plans by marrying a Slipper. While anyone from the Other Side is considered exotic, this man made no secret that he had been a common laborer. Langwidere arranged for a second-best marriage for Prince Enar that went into wedded bliss, but he still considers the failure to be the result of the O.Z.'s ruling family's inferiority.
He often gives into his superiority complex, especially when dealing with upstart youngsters who don't understand how things are done. In retaliation, Malachite Granite has made him the butt of more than a few practical jokes.
Lord Langwidere is an original character for Pirates of the Nonestic based on L. Frank Baum's character Princess Langwidere. He is portrayed by Joss Ackland.
Corporal Ryan Carroll
First appearance: Tin Man: Pirates of the Nonestic Chapter Thirty-Nine
Ryan Carroll was too young to join the Resistance, but once the Royal Army was reestablished, there was nothing his mother could say to convince him to stay home. After basic training, Ryan was stationed at Scrowtown Base and one of his commanding officers was Wyatt Cain! The Wyatt Cain, former Tin Man, one of the Saviors of the O.Z., the surly commander who seemed intent on keeping Carroll on clean up duty for the rest of his military career. Carroll could have avoided Commander Cain like the other soldiers and not end up on chore shift more than his fair share, but he had to know what really happened on their adventure before the Eclipse, what the battle had been like, what were the other Saviors like, what was Central City like before the Sorceress took over. For the few times he got answers, mucking the stalls was worth it.
Corporal Ryan Carroll is an original character for Pirates of the Nonestic portrayed by Christopher Gorham. His name is a shout-out to the parents of my friend Suzanne LeBlanc.
