14-year-old Smithy is the castle blacksmith/stable hand. He keeps the horses shod, the swords sharp, and the armor in good repair. He has invented many labor-saving devices for the castle. He also has a way with animals, a calm confidence that all creatures seem to respond to—all except Dragon.
14-year-old Gunther is the loner of the castle. He struggles to balance his loyalty to his merchant Father and his loyalty to the Knight’s Code of Honour. Gunther's Father Magnus believes that being a knight is simply about being a good swordsman, and has no Problem with coercing Gunther into dishonorable activities. These situations reveal Gunther’s greatest strength: his quick and resourceful thinking. Gunther often manages to resolve the sticky situations his Father creates without damaging the merchant's reputation. Although Gunther cannot be relied upon to always make an ethical decision, he usually will act morally by the end of an episode.
