He only [[DayOfTheJackboot garrisons the village]] after Sindri tries some very BlatantLies on him, and gives the village more time than they asked for to ensure the surplus will be ready when he comes back.

This part is not relevant to this page, it's doylist observation and belongs in ymmv at best. Yes, no other character shows same sex attraction in the film, but the scene takes place in a brothel filled with unscrupulous, devious characters and would-be murderers. That someone like this exists there isn't a surprise, nor is their existence supposed to be graded as "representation", just bc Gunnar is male. Also, his return was revenge for getting beaten up ("you should've killed me"). While of course, success means he gets Gunnar, there's no indication he's going to all this length just for one guy.

Removed due to inaccuracy with onscreen evidence. The movie clearly states Kora's intent is to find Titus first and then men for him to lead. Those men were to come in the form of an alliance with the Bloodaxe's, so she can have access to their fighters. Kai diverts that mission to finding Tarak and Nemesis. Darrian is not a "recruit". He volunteered himself out of guilt and for the cause of revolution they fight for and a handful of his fighters followed out of loyalty to him and said cause. Even during the scene on Sharaan, Kora loudly declared "i have recruited these warriors" (referring to Tarak, Nemesis and Titus) while trying to convince the both Bloodaxe's to ally with her, so they can "mount a real defense". Even after Kai betrays them and talks about rounding up a "couple heads" who won't hesitate to take any small revenge against the motherworld despite their reward being a sack of grain, he describes the actual recruits' grievances with the motherworld but never mentions Darrian, who is a volunteer, not a recruit. So no, while he's a named character, he is not the first to die. His warriors do before him and so does Kai, even if he was a traitor.
