N.K. Cheeseman

N.K. Cheeseman was one of the three bullies who tortured and eventually caused the death of Charles Rowland.

Cheeseman was expelled from St. Hilarions and was killed in the trenches during World War I.

Fitch

When Scott gave me this painting I honestly had no recollection of who he was, which is a little surprising since I remember most of the characters with names...but Fitch...I had no clue. So I had to look him up.

Fitch is the editor of The Evening Bulletin, a San Francisco newspaper which was printed in 1859 (actually 1855-1895). He is the editor who received and printed the letter from Joshua Norton proclaiming himself to be the Emperor Of The United States.

Emissary # 04

This Emissary is one of the many who entered the Dreaming in hopes of gaining the key to Hell.

This Emissary is seen in only one panel. He is in the second to last chapter of Season Of Mists listening to Dream begin his speech, which would announce the new rulers of Hell.

Demon # 104

This demon is one of the many demons who attended the duel between Dream and Choronzon in the Hellfire Club.

This demon can be seen in only one panel, gasping at the seemingly fatal blow that Choronzon deals when he says "I am anti-life, the beast of judgment. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of the universe, gods, worlds...of everything."

It is even more surprising that with three simple words, Dream is victorious.

Here is the demon...

Charon

In Greek mythology, Charon is the ferryman in Hades who takes the dead across the River Styx. Generally the dead must give a coin to Charon in order to cross from the land of the living into Hades.

In The Song Of Orpheus, Neil Gaiman takes Charon and places him within the Sandman universe. In this story, Orpheus enters Hades in hopes of rescuing his recently deceased wife Euridice. When he encounters Charon, Orpheus gives him a sprig of Mistletoe, which is the payment from a living person to enter Hades. Along the way, Charon asks Orpheus to play his lyre and the music was so moving that it made Charon weep.

Demon # 01

Since we are on a roll with the characters from Ramadan I thought it might be nice to show another Demon from the story.

Like the others, this demon was imprisoned in The Globe Of Sulaiman Ben Daoud, which Haroun Al Raschid threatened to shatter if Dream did not visit him.

The Enchanters

In the time of Haroun Al Raschid Baghdad had "Enchanters from China and the Mongol lands, with high fur hats and log sleeves filled with secrets."

Here are the four Enchanters who frequented the palaces of Al Raschid.
