ElvaElva was a baby girl whose guardian asked Eragon to bless her. Saphira touched her brow, leaving a silver star upon her forehead. However, Eragon mistakenly cursed her instead of blessing her because he did not have a firm grasp on the Ancient Language at the time.

Once they returned, Nasuada made sure that Edric was no longer a captain, as she told Roran. FFadawarSagabato-no Inapashunna Fadawar was the chief of one of the nomadic, dark-skinned human tribes that supported the Varden. He was also Nasuada's cousin on her mother's side. After the Battle of The Burning Plains, he spoke for all of the nomadic tribes of Nasuada's kinsmen to ask for positions of leadership in the Varden. Nasuada refused, saying that the tribes had contributed very little to the Varden, and she couldn't give such positions simply because Fadawar and the others were related to her. Fadawar was enraged and challenged Nasuada for the right to lead the Varden by the Trial of the Long Knives. He lost this trial, and by doing so, he lost the right to lead his own tribe, which Nasuada restored herself. Nasuada's success also ensured that more people saw her as a good leader, including Elessari. FalberdFalberd was a member of the Council of Elders. He was a human male.

GGalbatorixGalbatorix was the king of the Empire. Once a Dragon Rider, he eventually turned against the order and brought about their downfall, believing they had caused the death of his dragon.
