hristopher is the mechanical house- |
|
keeper who lives in Brendon's castle, a
|
robot
similar to a marionette that works on solar energy. It is said that this little robot, one of the few
wonders of technology surviving from the beginning of the Great Dark Age, is supplied with a special
circuit which gives it a sort of independent personality. Brendon found him among the rubble of what
had once been a large scientific laboratory, in the city today known | |
 |
|
as London, the old capital of the
United Kingdom. Because Christopher
was built to do the housework he's
extremely house proud and an excellent chef. He spends a part of his day dusting the hundreds of
objects gathered in Brendon's manor house, another part cooking complicated dishes with invented names,
and the rest of the day he spends trying, unsuccessfully, to persuade Brendon to eat them.

Falstaff is Brendon's charger, a black horse with a white star on his forehead.
He goes with our hero on his adventures. In the world disrupted by the disaster horses have again become
the only means of transport. Strong and swift, Falstaff
has been Brendon's companion since he was a boy. Obtained by barter, with the intention of
using him to plow the fields around the family home,
the horse is now his inseparable traveling companion and friend during his missions.

HIS FRIENDS |
For a knight errant like Brendon friends
are as precious as water in the desert.
