* ComplexityAddiction: Kadar chooses to spend years conditioning the two brothers to hate a man in a distinctive helmet, while training them to fight and conditioning them to have physiques most bodybuilders would be jealous of, before putting each in the other brother's tormentor's helmet, handing him a sword, and letting them loose to kill each other to keep his ExactWords to Canary that neither he nor any of his men will kill them. Then Canary refuses to hold up her end of their bargain and tell him where the magic ruby is, leaving him no incentive to keep going with the plan for ''years'', long enough for both boys to grow into men.

* ManipulativeBastard: Since he promised to Canary that he (or his subjects) wouldn't kill the twins to ensure her co-operation, Kadar devises a complex plan to end their lives that takes a decade to be fulfilled; the twins are separated, and each is told that his brother is dead. They are then conditioned to hate a certain helmet-wearing mook (different one for each brother), who abuses them daily until their adulthood. They are then placed in an arena, both wearing the helmet that the other's tormentor wore, where they are supposed to kill each other in rage. The plan fails when the twins' helmets break and they recognize each other, and the captive Canary in the audience.

In darker times of magic and barbarians, travelling tribe of entertainers known as the Ragnis are assaulted by the warlord Kadar, who seeks the claim the immensely powerful belly ruby from their leader Canary. When the tribe is eventually surrounded, one of the two twin orphans that were adopted by the tribe [[{{Fingore}} bite two of his fingers off]]. Enraged, he is about to kill them but Canary pleads for their lives, promising herself to him to ensure their safety, and he vows not to kill them. Kadar instead places the boys into slavery, with a dastardly plan in his mind. Years later, now grown into muscular barbarians, the twins manage to escape and set out for a journey to restore the Ragnis to their former glory.
