    Kayko (Kajko) 

Voiced by: Artur Pontek (PL), Sean Chiplock (EN)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kayko.png
Short but smart and skilled warrior.

  • The Ace: A good enough warrior that the Hegemon considers attacking the village with him in it impossible, and clever enough to outsmart the enemy if open combat is ill-advised.
  • Bash Brothers: On occasion. Especially in early stories Kayko and Kokosh where more often show to combat hand in hand."
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Kokosh. They even share the same house and bedroom (justified by the standards of the time period).
  • Master Archer: He is incredibly handy with a bow, even if he doesn't use it too often.
  • Not So Above It All: In general, despite usually playing the reasonable Straight Man to everyone else's antics, he's sometimes shown engaging in the same shenanigans as other characters. To name a few examples, he's not above pulling harmless pranks on Kokosh, stealing a Flying Broomstick for a joyride, or conning an innkeeper out of a large meal for him and his friend.
  • Shorter Means Smarter: Kayko is the shorter of the titular duo and presented as being able to out-think Kokosh in everything.
  • True Companions: He will never abandon Kokosh in a time of need. At one point, he even openly declares it.

    Kokosh (Kokosz) 

Voiced by: Michał Piela (PL), Michael Sorich (EN)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kokosz.png
Tall and fat but strong warrior, Kayko's devoted friend.

  • Adaptational Context Change: The comic had his belief that the longer his shadow, the stronger he is be a simple superstition, while the animated series had it as a lie told him by Yaga after he complained about Breakbone getting a "magic flute" (which was another Magic Feather).
  • Armor Is Useless: Lampooned. In one story after a guard throws series of rocks at Kokosh he runs away and then rubbs his comcialy tiny helmet (which is closes he has to an armor) and says with relief "If not for my armor I would be a gonner".
  • Big Eater: One of Kokosh's main characteristics. Kayko stopped him from eating a large egg by pointing out that the chick that'll come out of it will be an even better meal.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Falls easily into bouts of jealousy, most notably he can't stand everyone saying Łamignat is stronger than him (which is a fact).
  • Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Kayko. They even share the same house and bedroom (justified by the standards of the time period). In one story, he is willing to sacrifice himself by marrying an ape-like forest sorceress to save his friend Kayko's soul.
  • Magic Feather: Both comic and animated series had a subplot about him believing his strength is proportional to the length of his shadow. This lead to him panicking each time his shadow wasn't visible for whatever reason and having a large burst of confidence each time it returned.
  • Simpleton Voice: The English dub in particular gives him a distinctly goofy-sounding voice.
  • Stout Strength: Despite the gut, he's capable of feats of great strength, and his punches usually leave the target tossed across the room.
  • Real Men Wear Pink: In a literal case, his normal shirt is pink and he's an unquestionably masculine man.
  • Take This Job and Shove It: In the book "The Royal Mounties" his arc is about getting frustrated about his life as Mirmil's warrior, quitting in the middle of a mission and joining a special royal guard unite.

    Mirmil (Mirmił) 

Voiced by: Jarosław Boberek (PL), Jesse Corti (EN)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mirmil.png
Castellan of the village with tendency to self-pity.

  • Ambiguous Situation: It's not fully clear whether Wojmil is his younger or older brother. While Wojmil is much taller and larger than Mirmil (which could simply be a case of the Big Little Brother), character-wise, Wojmil is much more childish, immature and in some ways youthful. However, Wojmil also shows a more honorable side that Mirmil sometimes lacks so it's not as dry and cut case of Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling as both have same amount of virtues and flaws (especially in later stories where Mirmil's character is much more developed after years of evolution). Since the fact who is older is never stated in the series itself and the two seem to be of the same age, the closest hint is the implication that Mirmil's took over the village after his father since the elder brother usually inherits the land in European medieval tradition (and even there it's only speculation).
  • Catchphrase: Any variation of "plant the orchids on my grave" or "I'll submit my resignation".
  • Characterization Marches On: Nothing that drastic, as most of Mirmil's key traits where there from the start, but in early stories, while meek, he is much more reasonable and calm, whereas his later version is much more prone to be hysterical, impulsive, stubborn, and can sometimes act like a selfish jerk on the edge of abusing his power. This is more evident in new books when Mirmil's brother Wojmil's return and the two get into a duel over a family heirloom. While this might seem out of character for early Mirmil, who wouldn't have had the fire to burst at his brother over wanting to claim his possession, it fits pretty well with later Mirmil, who could often act hot-headed and irrational.
  • Drama Queen: It became a trademark for him to engage in dramatic monologues, often lamenting over his (theoretical) "upcoming funeral."
  • Establishing Character Moment: The pilot of the animated series has him worry himself sick that Kayko and Kokosh have certainly gotten themselves killed on his orders, only to claim nobody should've worried once they return unharmed.
  • Flanderization: See "Characterization Marches On" above. While most of Mirmil's traits were there from the start (just in smaller portions), the later stories made a much bigger deal of him acting hysterical, self-loathing, and panicking. On the other hand, he also became much more stubborn and insistent on having his own way.
  • Henpecked Husband: It dose not take much for Lubava to put him back in his place.
  • Hidden Depths: The best two examples are probably in the first story where he misses his wife so much and is desperate to return to her after his adventure that he even beats up a gang of large bandits on his way without stopping, as well as in the "Witch Festival" story where despite being shrunk to the size of a gnome, he is able to overcome his fears and help save the day.
  • Hypochondria: He is a hypochondriac and his tendency to dramatizes and overreact dose not help.
  • The Napoleon: While not quite at first in later stories,, we get some scenarios, where the entire village is against him, yet he remains stubborn in pursuing his way to prove that he is right, given his position as the ruler (usually he is clearly in the wrong) Also, much like Kayko, he is very short.
  • Nervous Wreck: His trademark is to easily get worked up about any problem that even mildly seems to be beyond his control.
  • Suicide as Comedy: The usual running gag with him - every time something goes wrong his first instinct appears to be to try to off himself, usually stopped by his wife Lubava.
  • Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: With his wife Lubava (who is at least three times his size)

    Yaga (Jaga) 

Voiced by: Agata Kulesza (PL)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jaga.png
A good natured witch living in a hut in the forest. Breakbone's wife and Kokosh's aunt.

  • Batman Gambit: A few times, she tricked the villains simply by using their greed and villainous tendencies against them, such as claiming to brew a strength-enhancing potion that she knew the bad guys would steal and drink. However, the potion she made was actually a thirst-enhancing elixir.
  • Been There, Shaped History: Lubava claims Yaga invented soap.
  • Characterization Marches On
  • Cool Old Lady: Yaga helped save the village as many times as Kayko and Kokosh themselves, and despite her old age, she is pretty feisty, quick-witted, and has a good sense of humor. Some might even argue that she is the most badass character in the series, and outside of the villains, everyone seems to have respect for her and likes her.
  • Creepy Good: In the very first story she is depicted as much older and more standard scary looking witch. In fact she did use her reputation as a scary hag to screw with some superstitious villains.
  • Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold
  • Happily Married: With Łamignat. While you can dig up some very rare examples of her being annoyed with him most of the time they are very loving, carrying, supportive and at points quite romantic. In fact by comparing them to Mirmil and Lubava's relationship, she pretty much spoils her husband.
  • Improbable Hairstyle
  • Never Mess with Granny: Shown to known judo. When Kokosh insults Breakbone in her presence she beat the shit out of Kokosh to the point upon witnessing this, Breakbone got scared and didn't show up for their date (this was before the point he and Jaga got married). Most the time however she don't result to violence or even magic and just rely on cleverness.
  • Not So Above It All: On The Day of Laughter (their version of April Fools), Kayko and Kokosh tricked Łamignat into believing that Yaga had curse them and made their legs disappear. When Łamignat came to Yaga begging for a cure, she quickly realized that he had been tricked but decided to play along. She gave him a magic honey that caused Kayko and Kokosh's legs to transform into deer legs ("You asked for new legs so there you go"), while the jar of honey turn out to be magical in itself and kept landing on Breakbone's head. Yaga was shown to be quite proud of herself appreciating a rare moment of being openly playful.
  • Sliding Scale of Beauty: In her debut in "The Golden Chalice" she looked much more like a stereotypical old hag. In her second appearance ""Mirmil's Warriors" she fallen in love with Łamignat and "by the magic power of cosmetics" burst her appearance becoming much more cute looking old lady and gain her trade mark fluffy hair.
  • Sudden Name Change: In her debut she is named "Zielacha" but later she was renamed "Jaga". Since Jaga is actually an average Polish name (short for ""Jagna") and "Zielacha" sounds tad mockingly, some fans speculate "Zielacha" was simply a nickname. One of the short stories in newer books even directly addressed this in-universe, confirming the theory.
  • Out of Focus: She doesn't appeared in the second book and is only mentioned in two of the three Cudly-centric stories.
  • Puppy Love: Despite being an older lady she act this way toward Breakbone before their marriage.

    Breakbone (Łamignat) 

Voiced by: Jan Aleksandrowicz-Krasko (PL)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amingat.png

Yaga's husband and a friendly bandit, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

  • Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon: He's a brute strong enough to uproot trees on accident and his weapon of choice is a club as big as he is.
  • Comical Overreacting: He few times cried over very silly things.
  • Comically Missing the Point: In his first story, upon seeing Kokosh falling from a high tower (most likely to his death), he calmly tells Yaga that her nephew isn't very serious and is more concerned about "into what family he got himself into".
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: Played for laughs and to the extreme. He will often cry about how weak he is while knocking down trees with one punch.
  • Dumb Muscle: Even if he is so nice you feel bad for calling him "dumb".
  • Gentle Giant: He is a large muscular men but most of the time he's sensitive, friendly and often childish.
  • Just Like Robin Hood: Well, just like Janosik, the Polish spin on the archetype. Breakbone not only prides himself on only stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, but it's literally his job. He got a license and all!
  • Magic Feather: The "magic" flute Yaga have him to boost his strength in a moment of insecurity. It backfires when Hegemon gets his hands on it and he's convinced he's too weak to fight back.
  • Manchild: Whenever he is upset he starts to cry like a child.
  • Punch-Clock Villain: While not a villain, he works as a highway robber and treats this occupation like any other job (justified by the fact that he gives up stolen money to the poor). He often acts very friendly while beating the crap out of people with his club and taking their money away.
  • Verbal Tic: Breakbone tends to use phrase "Lelum Polelum" often, sometimes in the middle of the sentence.

     Lubava (Lubawa) 

Voiced by: Anna Apostolakis (PL)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lubava_4.png
Mirmil's wife who keeps him in check.

    Hegemon 
Voiced by: Grzegorz Pawlak (PL), Michael Yavnielli (EN)
The leader of the Knaveknights.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hegemon_2.png
  • Big Bad: He leads the main antagonistic group in the series, often coming up with plots and attacking Mirmilville.
  • Catchphrase: Many stories end with him declaring "Jeszcze dobierzemy się wam do skóry!" ("We'll get to your skin yet!" which is an idiom that implies a threat or promise to take revenge or cause harm in the future).
  • Dreadful Musician: When he gets his hands on Breakbone's "magic empowering flute", everyone present finds his "music" atrocious — in the comics, the corporal faints on the spot, and in the animated adaptation, Kokosh finds it worse than the idea of getting clubbed to death.
  • Fat Bastard: The leader of the main antagonist group and a large rotund man.
  • Large Ham: Hegemon chews the scenery on a regular basis.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Everyone, his enemies included, address him as "Hegemon".
  • Out-of-Character Moment: In the very first story by the new authors, Hegemon gets so mad at his men that literally all his anger steams out of him. In result he becomes comically calm, pleasant and very passive. Corporal and the rest of the gang are terrified by this change and sent him to psychotherapy to help him get back to "normal".
  • Small Name, Big Ego: He's not necessarily stupid, but tends to brag about his intelligence and "strategic genius" and look down on everyone around him.
  • Smug Snake: Takes a lot of pride in himself and his plots, and a lot of it comes off as undeserved.

    Corporal (Kapral) 
Voiced by: Jacek Kopczyński (PL), Frank Gerrish (EN)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kapral.png
The short-statured second-in-command to the Knaveknights.
  • Catchphrase: "Na plasterki!" ("Slice and dice 'em!" in the English dub of the cartoon), a battle cry shouted before he charges the opponent(s).
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Whenever an opportunity arises, Corporal tries to overthrow his master, Hegemon, and take over as the leader. Hegemon seems to forget the "incident" as soon as he punishes Corporal, usually with a proper beating.
  • Drill Sergeant Nasty: While he share this trait with Hegemon, usualy Hegemon will leave all the shouting at his army to Copral, while he focuses on being proud of his latest plot.
  • The Napoleon: Despite his short stature, he manages to keep an entire army in check and tends to be forceful.
  • Number Two: Hegemon's right handman.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: Rank, in this case.
  • The Proud Elite: He acts this way whenever interacting with people of Mirmiłvile calling them commoners and treating himself as some one of higher social status who demands respects and special treatment.
  • Professional Butt-Kisser: He will go out of his way to suck up to Hegemon and shower him with compliments, while it's clear his private opinion about his boss is as low as any other person.
    • In the stage musical adaptation he even gets an entire musical number about the art of sucking up to your superiors.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: He and Hegemon seem to be the only intelligent people in their army of incompetent bafoons, and even then Hegemon to often get's cary away by his prideful persona and random whims coming of as pretty unbalance. This leaves Corporal in double duty as Only Sane Man of the group.

    Oferma 
Voiced by: Abelard Giza (PL)
Not very bright and happy-go-lucky member of the Knaveknights.
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/oferma.png

  • Bumbling Sidekick: Plays this role to whatever Knaveknight he's partnered with, usually Corporal.
  • Butt-Monkey: The rest of his fellow Knavenknight see him pretty much as a punching bag.
  • Callousness Towards Emergency: In one story, Hegemon is tied in a fishing pool's rope. Oferma tries to help him and only makes it much, much worse to the point Hegemon begged him to go away.
  • Cloudcuckoolander: In later stories, there are points where he feels not so much stupid as having a totally different interpretation of the world.
  • Clueless Chick-Magnet: He becomes this in newer books, where Zaćmica falls in love with him and very obvious hints go over his head.
  • Depending Upon the Undependable: Subverted. While he is always chosen for dangerous missions to sabotage Mrimiłville, one would suspect the idea of sending him would backfire on Hegemon and Corporal big time. However, if you actually follow his track record, he succeeds most of the time with the planned sabotage (of course, Kayko and Kokosh manage to fix it by the end).
  • Deadly Doctor: In one story he tries to take care of Hegemon and Corporal as they are injured and in their base hospital. Long story short they endup screaming for help.
  • The Fool: Half the time despite his stupidity he is shown to be much more lucky then Corporal and Hegemon.
  • Harmless Villain: How Kayko and Kokosh see him in the later books. While in earlier story they displayed distrust when he claimed to have left Hegemon's army and wanted to join Mirmiłville, in adventures near the end of the series they are barely phased when he enters their village. In newer books Kayko and Kokosh are shown to be on pretty friendly terms with him.
  • The Klutz
  • Oblivious to Hatred: He honestly seems to believe Corporal likes him, while in reality, his superior hates him even more then others and would love nothing more than to get rid of him.
  • Running Gag: Whenever the Kneveknights need a "volunteer," he is kicked off by his companions to go in front. At one point, he comments that he has no clue how it happens each time.

    Cuddly (Miluś) 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/milus.png
Kayko's and Kokosh's charming and lovable pet dragon. He's an unusual character in the series as he actually experiences growth over the course of the stories. He starts as an egg, then grows wings, learns to fly, and finally finds love and flies away. Originally, he only appeared in three books (sometimes referred to as the "Miluś Trilogy" by the fans) along with a bunch of short stories made between his first and second book. However, he later returns in post-Christa books, specifically in a series of short spin-off stories aimed at younger readers (set during a time when Cudly was still a young dragon). Additionally, Cudly gains a much larger role in the animated series, appearing in most of the episodes. Despite his limited appearances in the original books, he has become an iconic and beloved character in the series. He made an comback in the new series in a book title "Powrót Milusia" (Cuddlys return)

  • Adaptation Expansion: In animated series he is introduced in the very first episode (which so happen to be adaptation of his debut story) and accompanies Kayko and Kokosh in most episodes, including ones based on the books he didn't appear in.
  • All Animals Are Dogs: Has a lot of trades of a happy dog.
  • Cousin Oliver: Subverted. While some fans see Cudly as a pointless addition to the cast, he is mostly regarded as a beloved character, iconic enough that he became part of the main cast in the animated adaptation.
  • Delightful Dragon: He wasn't named "Cudly" in an ironic way.
  • Motivated by Fear: It's been an established rule that Cudly can only breath fire when he gets scared by small animals.
  • Moving-Away Ending: His arc ends with finding a female dragon Miłasia, falling in love with her and flying away from the village after having a touching goodbye to his owners in one of series most bittersweet moments.
  • Not Allowed to Grow Up: Subverted. He is the ONLY character in the series who ages with every story he appeared in, growing up from an egg to a full-grown dragon.
  • Pet Monstrosity: While to cute to be seriously called a "monstrosity" by the readers, pretty much everyone outside of Mirmilvile see him as such. Seeing his track record with accidental destructions, it's hard to blame them.
  • Running Gag: Cudly breaths fire each time he gets scared, usually in the least convenient situation for Kayko and Kokosh.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: Cudly can only fly if he uses water as starting ground and usually can only use fire while scared.
  • Vegetarian Carnivore: He is a vegetarian dragon.

    Wit 

Voiced by: Krzysztof Zalewski (PL)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wit_6.png
A poetic and romantic knight, who later became a Don Quixote like figure.

  • All-Loving Hero: If you look past his passion for duels, he is arguably the nicest and most pleasant character in the series, with zero jerkass qualities and nothing but noble intentions and very friendly and helpful to anyone he meets.
  • Character Signature Song: He has a song ("Tell [insert name] when she ask, that there is no warrior better then Wit") He sings it few times in "On Holiday" (series 6th book) each time having a different female name in it. The song became one of series most quoted catchphrases (even if sometimes slightly misquoted) It made return in stories by the new authors and appears in animated series in each of Wit-centric episodes.
  • Cloudcuckoolander:In his first appearance, he displayed a very romantic nature and had silly moments. However, in his second story, he became much more delusional, singing about imaginary women and constantly challenge everyone he met to battle. By his third major appearance in Christa's book, he had become obsessed with proving the worthiness of his invention - gunpowder - by constantly blowing up everything around him. His tendency to speak in rhyme also adds to his eccentricity.
  • Cool Horse: Wit's horse is not only incredibly smart, but often appears to possess more intelligence than its owner. This trusty steed has a knack for quick thinking and resourcefulness, frequently assisting Wit in getting out of tight spots. The horse's remarkable abilities include climbing trees and swimming in rivers with the skill of a seasoned pro.
  • Establishing Character Moment: When we see Wit for the first time, Kayko and Kokosh are trapped in a tree by an innkeeper whom they owe money. The innkeeper, being a jerk , tries to shoot them down with arrows. Wit rides by on the horse, sighing in sadness. Upon hearing what the situation is, with a warm smile on his face, he throws out all his money to the innkeeper, paying off Kayko and Kokosh's debt while talking in rhyme. He then quickly returns to being sad again. Later, he explains to Kayko that he is sighing because he is thinking about the woman he is in love with. Since it's the first time the characters meet, this establishes Wit not just as a very romantic and lovesick character but also an incredibly friendly and noble knight, true to his ideals.
  • Fearless Fool: Despite his silly traits, he doesn't back down from a duel. Even in animated series he challenges a much larger warrior, and Kayko and Kokosh has to save him from being mown to the ground.
  • Forgotten First Meeting: Despite having months' worth of adventures together with Kayko and Kokosh in his first book, when Wit meets them in his second appearance, they don't recognize each other, and he challenges Kayko to a duel. Luckily, his horse runs away with him. When they meet him in a jail cell not long after, and Wit reintroduces himself again, Kayko replies, "We already met," and then it skips to some time later. A lot of fans pointed this out as a weird plot hole and found it odd that the characters act like they've never met and make zero references to their previous adventures. However, this happened due to the fact that at this point, Christa was making serialized Kayko and Kokosh stories in a different magazine than his first three stories and assumed that most people wouldn't know the character. In fact, "On Holidays," the second Wit story in question, was published in book form BEFORE his first story. It comes off as odd if you read them in chronological order of the books, but Christa made at least a token effort to maintain continuity: When we see reintroduced Wit for the first time, he is covered in the shadow of a tree, his design is slightly different (bigger mustache, different helmet etc.), and Kayko's comment in jail, "We already met," has an obvious double meaning, so while it can be justified why they didn't recognize each other at first, it still was too subtle for some fans who found the amnesia of the heroes puzzling.
    • It's interesting to point out that according to the early treatment of "On Holidays" (published in 2023 in the Kayko and Kokosh integral edition), Wit was originally meant to be a completely new character.
    • Also, reintroducing himself (even to people he know) feels like Wit's quirk in "On Holidays."
  • Glory Seeker: He hopes to live up to his status of legendary hero people sing ballads about and is delusional to believe he is one.
  • Mad Scientist: In his final appearance in the original series, Wit pretty much takes on this role. He invents gunpowder and showcases its explosive power by simply blowing up everything in sight and demanding award for it.
  • The Kindness of Strangers: See Wit's character-establishing moment. While later stories might muddle the waters slightly by making Wit obsessed with duels and a thrill-seeker, Wit is always ready to help out anyone he meets and is incredibly altruistic.
  • Small Name, Big Ego: No one know who he is (with exception of people he anger of by causing them trouble), yet Wit always introduce himself as "the famous Wit the warrior" or by singing song about his greatness. He is a rare example of character who despite being very ego driven is still very pleasant to others and not a jerk about being a Glory Seeker.
  • Self-Made Myth: Much like Don Quixote he is shown to believe in his own stories about his greatness.
  • Serial Romeo: Wit's always a lookout for new women to court.
  • Third-Person Person: Even when Wit doesn't rhyme or sings he still talks in third person.
  • Thrill Seeker: He lives to seek challenges, duels and constantly wants to prove himself. Arguably his biggest flaw or at least the reason he gets Kayko and Kokosh into trouble most often.
  • Rhymes on a Dime: Wit's unique linguistic quirk is his propensity for speaking in rhyme. During his initial appearance, all his dialog was in rhyme. However, he abandons this tendency halfway through his first story due to a broken heart. Interestingly, he does revert to rhyming speech in the final Christa story, a trait that carries over into the post-Christa books, the animated series, and one of the video game adaptations.
  • Out of Focus: After relocating to Mirmilville at the conclusion of his second story, Wit's prominence transitions into a background character, making occasional cameo appearances all the way to the very last story, where Wit re-emerges with a more significant role. In the post-Christa books, he becomes a more active as a recurring character.

    Wojmil 

Mirmił's large brother, who's favorite pass time is starting wars (for fun) and getting into fights (for fun).

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wojmi.png
  • Bash Brothers: When he finally becomes friends with Łamignat, they become this during the confrontation with the Oms tribe.
  • Berserk Button: One of his more admirable traits is that he is very honorable and refuses to take part in anything that goes against his code of nobility. This is taken to absurd degree in one of newer books: When Wojmil finds himself in jail with Mirmil, who confesses that he violated his solemn word of honor given to his wife, Wojmil erupts in anger. He breaks his chains and escapes from prison in a matter of seconds, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. His sole purpose is to do the honorable thing by revealing the truth to Lubava, and no force on earth can stop him without suffering his wrath.
  • The Big Guy: Especially compering to his short brother.
  • Bros Before Hoes: He proposes this to Wit when they both vie for Fochna's affection, but their renewed friendship lasts a very short while before they start fighting over her hand again.
  • Boisterous Bruiser: If he is not getting into fights for fun, he is looking for one, or retelling of many times he gave someone's army a beating.
  • The Bus Came Back: He only appeared in the second and third of Christa's stories (which were some of the longest in the series), and he was never mentioned or appeared again. This can be understandable due to the fact that he lives far away from Mirmilville, where he runs his own land, and it would be tricky to bring him back each time he's needed. Still, it was a welcome sight when he returned in the newer books and essentially became a recurring character in the new series.
  • Everyone Has Standards: He may invade his neighbors' lands for fun, but when he learns that Mirmil is planning to fake reports to the King about a non-existent wars he won, he refuses to take part in it and boycotts the idea on the principal that its wrong to teach future generations fake history. Some might argue that moments like this make him actually much more noble than Mirmil.
  • Friends Turned Romantic Rivals: When they first meet, he becomes good friends with Wit. However, as soon as he falls in love with Fochna, on whom Wit already has a crush, they spend the rest of the books rivalling each other for her hand.
  • Hot-Blooded: If you offend him in anyway better run for the hills...
  • Love Triangle: In his first appearance, he gets into a fight with Wit over Fochna's hand.
    • In the newer book "The Twilight Eclipse," he gets into a conflict with Hegemon when it turns out they are both engaged to the same woman. They don't really question how it happen as they to busy fighting over Her.
  • Honor Before Reason: He rather show lack of resistance toward much more stronger robber and be killed by him then give away money on share principal that he does not bend to will of a bandit. Luckily, the robber in question is the friendly Breakbone, so Wojmil's life is spared.
  • Screw the Money, I Have Rules!: He rather throw away his sack of money into a pond then give it away to Breakbone on the principle that he doesn't bend down to common thieves.
  • The Spartan Way: He starts his day with military training, and when there are no enemies around to attack, that's how he spends his free time. During boxing practice with someone half his size, he expects them to be able to take his punch to the chest (and he will keep trying until they finally learn to take it).
  • Punny Name: "Wojmił" literally means "Loving war" or "Admiring war."
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: In their first appearance He and Wit evolve into this. However when they later where seen together in "Twilight Eclipse" they shere shown to be very friendly toward each other.


Alternative Title(s): Kajko I Kokosz
