* WiseSerpent: The Snake Lord is a [[TheGreatSerpent giant]], magical serpent who serves as the BigBad. In addition to his deep knowledge of spells and rituals, he is also a ConsummateLiar who excels at manipulating others to do his bidding. It helps that since he is actually [[spoiler: Anthigar's brother Denthigar, the second born Nnewt in the world]], the Snake Lord is [[WizardsLiveLonger almost as old as the world itself]].

* FamousForBeingFirst: PlayedForDrama. Anthigar and Denthigar's eggs were formed at the same time at the beginning of the world. Anthigar hatched first, and so he was crowned king of the Nnewts and given a large CoolCrown. Denthigar hatched second and was given a smaller crown. This caused Denthigar to become [[DrivenByEnvy envious]] of his brother, which led to him becoming [[spoiler:the Snake Lord, the BigBad of the series]].

Herk takes a few seconds to remember Anthigar's name, but he says it, and Anthigar purges the evil from Herk's body, turning him back into the hero we know and love]].
