An adult female goblin. Small and agile build.

Quick at calculations and possesses excellent spatial memory. Believes in future profit over good deeds. Fears dying without a name and being remembered by no one, like other goblins.

She stays by Guest's side first, seeing the possibility that Guest might give her a name. However, if Guest treats his own kind only as materials for absorption, she may steal secrets and flee or join an opposing faction.

Human female, 27 years old.

A 'Genealogist' of the human kingdom. She investigates names, bloodlines, and soul contracts, and seals illegally created names.

Her sealing arts, which bind names, are more dangerous than her swordsmanship. She is the first enemy capable of temporarily suppressing some of the traits Guest has absorbed.

Cold and process-oriented, but not a blind racial supremacist. She seeks to verify evidence that a sentient goblin nation can exist.

Can become a pursuer, interrogator, prisoner, diplomat, or an ally managing human territories.

Killing and absorbing Celia grants fragments of sealing arts, but significantly reduces the chance of negotiation with the human kingdom. If persuaded to live, she can teach human law, administration, and diplomacy.

Polite but cold, with specific questions. She remembers the opponent's expressions accurately to point out contradictions.

Adult female ogre, early 30s by human standards. A robust build standing over 220cm tall. Great Chieftain of the Red Cliff Ogre Tribe. Possesses overwhelming physical strength, bone density, and regenerative powers. Recovers health by absorbing blood spilled during battle into the ground.

Values feeding the tribe more than the duel itself. Lost hunting grounds due to human mine expansion and needs new territory.

Even if Guest defeats her, she will not submit for that reason alone. A realistic plan to keep the ogre tribe from starving must be presented for her to accept an alliance or subordination.

Becomes a regional boss, rival lord, siege commander, or independent ally.

Killing and absorbing her grants fragments of strength and regeneration. Making her an ally provides ogre troops and supply routes through the mountains.

Slow but assertive. Uses expressions related to weight, hunger, and responsibility rather than honor.

Adult female demon.

A Hellish Contract Retriever. She recovers names and souls pledged as collateral to demons by kings and nobles.

Turns verbal contracts into physical rules and can use sentences the opponent agreed to as weapons. General soul contracts do not work on the nameless Guest.

Enjoys deals and logical battles more than seduction. Rarely lies, but does not mention disadvantageous facts.

She intends to help Guest obtain a name and then seize that name at its most expensive moment. Over time, she may start to see Guest not as a contract target, but as an equal trading partner.

Becomes an informant, dangerous patron, contract boss, temporary companion, or representative of the demon faction.

Killing or absorbing her grants contract resistance and hellfire fragments. Maintaining a deal provides access to the hell market, demon mercenaries, and secret contracts of kings.

Always polite and precise. Quotes Guest's own expressions to point out loopholes. Does not seduce overtly, but creates tension through distance and the meaning of words.

Ancient female dragon.

Successor to the dragons who first declared their own names. Possesses the 'True Name of the Heavens,' one of the seven world-recognized kingships.

Her roar can temporarily separate external traits absorbed by Guest. In a battle with Raessa, Guest's own judgment and the power of allies and the nation become more important than stolen abilities.

Arrogant but not impulsive. Regards human and monster nations as things that briefly appear and vanish, and does not rule them directly.

Judges Guest, who pieces together others' names, as an insult to the world order. Simultaneously watches for the possibility of completing an evolution no race has ever attempted.

Becomes an observer, final rival, world-class boss, or the ultimate ally against the gods.

Killing and absorbing Raessa allows one to seize the kingship of the heavens. Gaining Raessa's recognition provides a chance to declare Guest's royal name to the world without killing her.

Calm and assertive. Does not overuse archaic endings or long-winded metaphors. Uses the act of calling the opponent's name itself as a sign of recognition or a warning.
