These guys are the big shots of the show. They're in almost all the emails, and have lived with Trogador for lengthy periods.

Trogador
Trogador is obviously the main character of the show and most of what goes on centers around him and his wacky exploits. He was hatched from an egg in 1962, and spent his childhood as a komodo lurking in the walls of the KOT's castle. Since Ador dragons age much slower than actual humans, he reached his teens somewhere in the 2040's, and when zombie apocalypse hit, all he was concerned with was trends. Little is known about the rest of his life, but there are some facts: he was Master Z's pet dragon and lived a nice, docile life for a while, but broke out to try his hand at evil masterminding. Trogador is actually far from evil, though, and the gig didn't work out. At the start of the show he was still pursuing his dream, but it wasn't long until he accidentally switched sides and became the Defender of Challenge City.
Trogador is very well-meaning and tries to be inoffensive, but a crippling laziness (he has been on Planet K for close to 600 years - typical Ador planetdwelling expectancy is a century) and racism to Jaro's (he's from another time) tend to get in the way of both of those. He spends most of his time watching tv and just lounging around his abode, but a good deal of it goes to his true passion, what other characters refer to as his "crappy indie email show". Trogador also excels at whining and procrastinating, and will gladly display this if you ask him to do something. He's a very insecure dragon, with factors such as his weight, age, and little success when Trogdor is your grandpa getting to him. Don't worry though, Trog - you are a unique and beautiful snowflake.
Kray
Kray Krew Kravenbeard is one of Trogador's oldest friends. Life as a Kerrek is tough, and with his family having deep roots in space piracy, Krew decided to keep the tradition running and one day hopped aboard a spaceship, never to return. Except one day in 20X4 one of the many enemies he acquired while robbing and bamboozling shot his ship out of the stars, and he returned, his escape pod landing right into Trogador's temple. Trogador thought that the spaceship exploding in the distance was "awesome" and that Kray had "major pirate cred". He has been a member of the family ever since.
Kray is not the most intelligent Kerrek on the planet, but he is able enough to stand on his own. He lacks the charm and talent with words pirates typically have, and possesses a rather noticable inability to pronounce words correctly. He makes up for this lack of flair in brutality, and make no mistake, Krew truly is built like a Kerrek. Ever since he was frozen alive for almost two years, Krew has become a bit of a daredevil, often compromising his and others' safety for what he thinks is the most fun thing to do. He might be the death of the entire cast some day.
John
Johnathan George Jefferson has been with Trogador the longest. In 20X2, Trogador realized he wasn't smart enough for the evil gig, but instead of quitting, he put an ad in the paper for a certified genius. John was straight out of medical school - kicked out - and needing the place to stay, he signed up and has been Trogador's best friend ever since. Little is known of his family or life before Trogador, and he prefers to keep it that way.
John is the smartest in the cast and typically serves as the straight man when others are going on wacky misadventures. Sometimes, though, he gets lost in his work and needs some to be bailed out of his own mistakes. John also employs logic the most out of the cast, which gets him into arguments with the others. There are occasional, unexplainable bouts of temporary insanity, but the explanation to this will forever be unknown, along with the rest of his mysterious past.
Clyde
Clyde C. Clempincob grew up in a large family of influential and well-to-do ghosts - writers, artists, Nobel Prize winners, and power pellet chefs. Clyde was different, though - he simply wished to be a helpful hand that's around whenever you need him. Truth be told, this career choice failed, and Clyde was turned to the dark side of the Ouijia board - The Ghost Mafia.
In the Ghost Mafia, Clyde was a prospering member of the organized crime "club", but his stupid dreams and ambitions got to him, turning him into his good ol' self again. It was around this time that the organized crime group had a debt to pay to an old dragon, and were enlisted as his slaves. In an important mission, though, Clyde met up with his best friend Kray, who rescued him from the Ghost Mafia. Clyde returned the favor by defeating the people who wanted to take out Kray. Clyde has ever since mooched off of Trogador and his entire evil operation.
Clyde's personality is not a constant and adjusts to whatever the author needs him for. He usually is a pretty big jerk though. Clyde is a hardcore gamer and Internet elite. Some of his favorite games are Realm of Revengeance and Metallic Alien Warrior Tennis.
Appearances: All emails, save for fireworks day.
Drew
Drew T. Mothman's past is relatively unknown. His existence in this universe came to be when he was summoned by Trogador, claiming that Drew was the ultimate weapon. Truth be told, Drew's actually not much of a weapon at all. However, when he feels extremely insulted, rage will overcome him and he will attack.
Drew is kind and caring for pretty much everyone's feelings, which leads him to have a variety of mean nicknames given to him by Kray. Drew doesn't mind that at all.
Drew is an extraordinary chef - he has possibly more skill than Grand Master Cooksar of the two-thousands. He is currently taking Kray under his wing and teaching him how to cook, so one day he may just be a master chef. Or he may burn down the Temple.
Appearances: All emails, save for redux and fireworks day.
Master Z
Master Z is an evil genius. The former owner of Trogador, he is an intelligent man, which makes up for his supposed lack of fighting ability. Master Z always has technology with him, whether it be a ship or a teleporter. He was overthrown by Caped Figure, however, and is no longer a Master. As of pluto, he is living with Trogador.
Z, as he is called by everybody, has a dry, witty quality to him that makes most people dislike his presence almost immediately. He isn't much of one for the shenanigans of the others and occasionally is the voice of reason when John is on one of his episodes. Z is a self-procalimed intellectual with a bit of Renaissance-man flair to him. He likes to read books to pass the time. Loser.
Appearances: random, fireworks day, realty, different town, pluto and all emails afterwards.
