By book

Drick in book 5 — The Butcher's Masquerade

An older, heavily scarred, bald albino moon elf on the CrawlCon panel — one of the Dream, a former crawler who tapped out — who says the AI is probably sitting in that chair listening to everything Carl says (ch. 33). He respects the pacifism of the Nebulars' religion and their Ballad of Survival (ch. 34); Carl takes his advice and creates chaos he can hide within (ch. 35).

Drick in book 6 — The Eye of the Bedlam Bride

The bald Dream elf from the CrawlCon panel, a former crawler whose birth race was not elf, offered as an adjutant — a worm-head referee, and Carl's gut says no (ch. 36); psychotic and out to make a name for himself, per Odette (ch. 37).
