!!Chief Cor-mac-den
He is the the chief of the Burned Tree tribe, a [[RatMen Mousekin]] tribe which existence, at the time, was completely unknown for the felines inhabitants of the Plains region and for the rest of the planet Katmandu. He appears in the "When Warriors Die" sub-arc when his people was captured and slaved by illegal miners in order to extract minerals in the White River area, causing him to ask help to his feline neighbors, prompting them to help his tribe. After the events of that arc, he became one of the most closest allies of the Highland tribe, and he and his tribe played an important role during the final battle against [[spoiler:Rakon and the Red Canyon tribe]] years later.
----
* EyePatchOfPower: For some reason, he had a patch in his left eye.
* NiceMice: While not as nice as Tovar or Chief Pownetkee are, he is a quite nice person and he is always available to help his feline friends when required.

* DecoyAntagonist: Rakon was originally set up as the main antagonist of they story, and, according with Leah, he was originally fated to have a final duel with Liska to settle their score once for all. The final arc, however, offers a twist on this: [[spoiler:While Rakon was planning to to have his final duel with her, Liska utterly refuses, with her adopting son Quiet Bird taking her place instead. Oddly enough, Rakon accepts, [[CurbStompBattle and Quiet Bird finish him off in a single blow]]. The twist came with with the fact that it's heavily implied that Rakon already planned this in advanced, so his remaining surviving followers could both avenge his death and finish with both Liska and her tribe latter on]].

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Assuming either the setting's laws work in the same way as human laws and Native American traditions used to work in the past, many of the stuff Rakon does during the tribal games would likely either gotten him killed or caused a tribal war between the Highland tribe and his own one, since he managed to blatantly break many of the laws of his host tribe, including [[ForcedKiss kissing one of the warrior chief's wives without her permission]], bullying against everyone else without serious consequences, and finally, [[spoiler:''trying to rape one of the warrior chiefs'', in this case, Liska, and evading any serious punishment, other than both Markree and Rial saving Liska at the last second]]. This is handwaved in-universe, however, as Rakon was the son of the Red Canyon tribe's chief and by default, he enjoys inmunity from being punished by his hosts; and there's also the fact the tribal games' rules forbid any kind of personal fighting during the games, even in self-defense.

!!Prince Tyjer Siber
Tyjer is the prince of the Siber Sumatra Clan... or at least, [[FallenPrincess he used to be]], until his father exiled him for [[WouldNotHurtAChild refusing to kill the children of King Lionor]], the ruler of the Egypt-like country his father and the rest of his family invaded in other to conquer it. For reasons not full explained, he is transported from the deserts of that kingdom to the Hoplite lands in the west, when he was found almost dying by Hesta during her time working for Pepper, her trade mentor. As a way to repay her for healing him, Tyjer trained her in military arts, and then, he fell in love with her. Unfortunately for both, Tyjer didn't want to stay with her, since he was an exiled lord without a kingdom, and he couldn't offer anything to her, so he went to separated ways, in order to return to his home and make his father pay for exiling him.

* CatsAreMean: Averted. Just like Hesta, he is a quite noble tiger, and his only grudge he holds is just against his father for exiling him. Extra points he is a ''Sumatran'' tiger, a tiger breed notoriously infamous for being one of the most dangerous ones in RealLife.
* [[FallenPrincess Fallen Prince]]: His father exiled him for refusing to kill the children of a rival king, causing him to wander alone in the desert, until he was sent to the Hoplite lands thanks to a mysterious pendant his sister gave to him as a parting gift.

* WhiteSheep: Compared with the rest of his family, which are nothing more than mass-murdering bastards, he is more noble and prince-like, and outright refusing to kill defenseless people, which caused him to be exiled as a result.

* TheBadGuyWins: Well, to call him a "bad guy" would be a very strong word here, but at the end of the day he [[spoiler:manipulated every single Native character of the story, including Liska and even people like Rakon, in order to help him take down both monsters, so he could test his brand-new flintlock matchlock rifle on them, at great personal cost for the Plains people, since lots of people died, including a clan leader, and he caused a break-up between Liska and Kress when the latter betrayed the former by helping Indigo on luring both monsters to the Plains region, so all the Natives could help him on his mission. To top it all, taking advantage on Liska's break-up with Kress, he managed to get married with Kress after Liska, in retaliation agaisnt her, decided to give her to Indigo, very likely to avoid making the things worse for everyone else]].



* {{Expy}}: He is technically a composite expy of two characters, one being fictious and another being a real-life one: His role in the story is very similar to Dr. Daisuke Serizawa from the [[Film/{{Gojira}} very first Godzilla film]], as both men are inventors with an unusual weapon for their settings (Flintlock rifle and Oxygen Destroyer respectively) and being also the ''Katmandu'' version of [[spoiler:[[UsefulNotes/{{Pocahontas}} John Smith]], since he married with a Native women as a "gift", while the latter went with the foreigner in order to know other countries other than her own]].
* InSeriesNickname: The Ratkind warriors called him "Old Smokey", after his flintlock rifle.
* MightyWhitey: In a sense, as he is a foreigner from outside the Plains region and he hails from a much advanced culture, compared with the semi-barbarical setting of the comic, and that without going he is a Hoplite lion with blond hair, and with a ''flintlock rifle'', a weapon completely unknown in that place at Liska's era. To make matters worse, [[spoiler:He manipulated '''every single character''', Liska included, for his own personal gain, while the Natives sustained heavy losses, including the death of a clan leader]].

Kress was a slave girl-turned prostitute appearing during "The Quest for Magic" and "The Hunt" sub-arcs, who worked in a neighboring tribe ruled by Chief Pownetkee's brother when Liska, Pyndan and Rial went to take a rest during the first's vision quest. She is also notable for being the only female outside Liska's harem and immediate family which she had sex with, despite not being married with her. She went to find Liska again during the events of "The Hunt" in order to marry with her. [[spoiler:It turns outs this was a ruse from her, with the help of Indigo, in order to manipulate her, her tribe and the other Native tribes, in order for Indigo to test his new flintlock rifle, and that without going with the fact she helped Indigo to lure the Gomarrin monsters to the Plains region in order to do so. After Liska knew the true, as a retalation she "gave" Kress to Indigo as his wife in order to both saving face within both her tribe and the other Native tribes, especially if they knew Kress' relation with Liska, and also as a revenge. To make the matters worse, it was implied that was Indigo's plan from a beginning. Oddly enough, Kress agreed with her regarding her own "punishment", but that didn't prevented Liska from regreting this later for the rest of her life]].

* UncertainDoom: At the very end of the story, we don't know what happened to him and any possible descendant of him after the events from the last issue, since his final fate is never brought out by Leah in the DistantFinale. Considering the way how the [[spoiler:little girl who talked about him referenced him and his race in past tense, there's a very likely possibility that, while he did survived the final battle against Rakon's loyalist forces, since he was the one who warned the rest of the warriors who went hunting at the time, on the other hand there's the possibility that either Dancing Star, his fiancee and later wife, died during the surprise attack against the Highland tribe, he died young later on without having children or simply he was incompatible with her on the ground he was a saber-tooth tiger, basically the ''Katmandu'' version of a caveman, meaning that his entire race died with him, which would explain why there's no more Amazon people in Leah's era]].
