Further Roles
In The King's Buccaneer, Nakor and Ghuda Bule travel with Nicholas, youngest son of Arutha and Anita to Crydee. Later they travel to Novindus and eventually meet the Lady Clovis, who is Jorna - Nakor's former wife.
During the Serpentwar Saga Nakor meets the Isalani warrior Sho Pi who becomes his disciple, and starts up the first temple for the sleeping goddess of good, Arch-Indar.
Jorna (in the form of Kahil) questions Nakor as to why he remains in that body, implying that like her - he can invade other bodies and make them his own. This ability had not been attributed to any of the other 'great' magicians such as Pug of Stardock or Macros the Black, which makes Nakor an even more enigmatic character.
In the Conclave of Shadows, Nakor takes a role in Talon of the Silver Hawk's training (later to become Talwin Hawkins) and aids him with advice, gold and various other materials and serves a mentor role.
In the Darkwar Saga, Nakor is revealed to contain a fragment of Ba-nath/Kalkin, the God of Pranksters. This apparently allows him to manipulate and even ignore certain limitations and laws of physics. He is able to know the Mad God Nalar's true name without falling under his influence, and cast a protection spell that allowed all within to speak of Nalar without also falling under its influence - even Pug is uncertain if he could duplicate this spell.
An Ishapian priest travelling with Pug, Miranda, Tomas, Macros and Nakor considers Nakor to be the most dangerous of all, despite the others being traditionally considered powerful magical users.

Famous quotes containing the word roles:
“Productive collaborations between family and school, therefore, will demand that parents and teachers recognize the critical importance of each other’s participation in the life of the child. This mutuality of knowledge, understanding, and empathy comes not only with a recognition of the child as the central purpose for the collaboration but also with a recognition of the need to maintain roles and relationships with children that are comprehensive, dynamic, and differentiated.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“A concern with parenting...must direct attention beyond behavior. This is because parenting is not simply a set of behaviors, but participation in an interpersonal, diffuse, affective relationship. Parenting is an eminently psychological role in a way that many other roles and activities are not.”
—Nancy Chodorow (20th century)
