** Never really saw it as that. Sure, they're brothers (in an adopted sense, sorta-kinda?), but it seemed more like Sunday knew by The Mariner's tone "Farewell, brother", that it was time he resign himself to giving Arthur his Key. When he went to catch The Mariner, it looked more like a knee-jerk reaction than any sort of sentiment for a fallen sibling. Though, it seems these two have a better relationship than Lord Sunday and The Piper...

Denzien. [[spoiler: Or so he thinks at first, but it turns out humans can't become denizens so he's changing into something else.]]
* ExpectingSomeoneTallerExpectingSomeoneTaller: Thanks to a 'Thesaurus' denizen he rescued from the pit in Book 2. From book 3 onwards, everyone shows disbelief at who he says he is just because he's not 10 feet tall, has a beard and isn't accompanied by a frog/bear hybrid.

* CreativeSterility
* TheCollector

to:

* CreativeSterility
CoolTrain: Covered in spikes on the outside to stop denizens climbing on it, and is the only way to get in, or out, of the massive pit in the Secondary Realms.

LeanAndMean: 7 feet tall.
*TrickedOutGloves: The Second Key, in the form of a pair of gauntlets which can be used to create things out of nothing.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Sort of. He wears a leather one and [[SleevesAreForWimps nothing else]] above the waist.

* UnstoppableRage
UnstoppableRage: It takes his three Lieutenants to hold him back while Arthur tries to get control of the Fourth key.
