Gotrek Gurnisson - fearless doom-seeking dwarf and leader of the legendary seven deadly slayers who go off to face the Dragon in it's den.
Felix Jaeger - Gotrek's human sidekick, sworn to follow Gotrek through dragonfire and death, in order to record the Trollslayer's final and undoubtedly epic doom.
Bjorni Bjornisson - A Dwarf Slayer, first encountered by Gotrek & Felix at the fair outside Karak Kadrin. As lascivious as he is ugly, Bjorni's manner and nature would shame most Humans, let alone Dwarfs.

Max Schrieber - A Mage. See Daemonslayer.
Snorri Nosebiter - A Dwarf Slayer. See Daemonslayer.

Ulli Ullisson - A Dwarven Slayer, who joins Felix and Gotrek's quest to slay the Dragon Skjalindir. His freshly shaven head suggests that he is only a recent convert to the Slayer cult, and his manner is that of a nervous braggart rather than a truly brave warrior.
Ulrika Straghov - A Kislevite swordswoman. See Daemonslayer.
Skjalandir - A huge and ancient Dragon, it is first encountered by the Spirit of Grungni whilst travelling to Kislev.
