Dizzy
Characters of Keldor
Keldor is home to many friends, enemies and unusual figures beyond the main Yolkfolk family.
Theodore the Good Wizard
Theodore has opposed Zaks since a mysterious incident many years ago. He is reluctant to discuss what happened, but it marked the beginning of Zaks becoming Keldor's evil tyrant. Theo is not the most naturally gifted wizard, although he can always summon his wand when he needs it. He is an old friend of Grand Dizzy and the Yolkfolk, and Pogie is his loyal familiar. After becoming trapped in a deep shaft leading towards the centre of the earth, Theo sent a magical force into the world above. Dizzy eventually defeated Zaks, found Theo's spell book and helped bring the wizard back into the Yolkfolk's adventures.
Pogie the Fluffle
Pogie is Theodore's purple, bear-like familiar and has known the wizard for his entire life. While Theo was missing, Pogie became especially close to Daisy and now treats her like a second parent. He loves berries—particularly fluffberries—and proudly guards the village from trolls. Pogie is brave and knows exactly where to nip a troll's ankle, although the Yolkfolk quietly understand that a whole group of trolls might be a little beyond him.
Prince Clumsy
Prince Clumsy was once the prince of Keldor before Zaks took control. He now hides in the treehouse village and shares useful information with the Yolkfolk. He could be invaluable in the struggle against Zaks, but his forgetfulness and habit of falling out of trees often get in the way.
Shamus the Leprechaun
Shamus has the gift of the gab, a talent for finding four-leaf clovers and a habit of appearing where nobody expects him. He offers Dizzy helpful advice in the form of riddles, although he normally expects a favour or unusual item in return.
Wilbur the Shopkeeper
Nobody is entirely sure where Wilbur came from, but whenever something rare must be bought, he seems to be the person selling it. He drives a hard bargain and does not always want ordinary money, preferring exotic treasures, magic stars and impossible curiosities. Whatever he offers usually becomes far more important than it first appears.
Rockwart the Troll
Rockwart was once king of Keldor and its surrounding lands, when the kingdom prospered through diamond trading with the Yolkfolk. After Zaks arrived in his Cloud Castle, he placed Rockwart under a spell and turned him into a servant and bodyguard. Rockwart wears armour, carries a club and tries to look fearsome, but he has one particularly embarrassing weakness: he is terrified of Fluffles.
Blackheart the Pirate
Blackheart is a notorious pirate captain who has spent years looting, plundering and ordering people around at sea. Dizzy finds him more irritating than frightening, especially when Blackheart invents chores involving rigging, decks and the threat of walking the plank.
The Doppelganger
A magical mirror in Zaks' Ice Palace produced a reflection of Dizzy that escaped from its backward world. Away from the mirror, the copy began to mutate, developing red eyes, fangs and green-stained gloves and boots. The Doppelganger is desperate to become more than merely Dizzy's reflection and believes destroying the real Dizzy will finally give it an identity of its own.
The Evil Wizard Zaks
Zaks is Theodore's sworn magical enemy and the tyrant responsible for many of Dizzy's greatest adventures. Powerful, vindictive and dressed in dark purple robes, he uses destructive fire-star magic and carries a wooden staff topped with a small skull. Every defeat only seems to make him more determined to eliminate Dizzy, Theodore and the Yolkfolk.
