Stephen King's the Dark Tower: The Complete Concordance Revised and Updated (70 page)

Fannin’s hand has no lines on it, which makes us wonder if he is mortal at all. He claims not to be MAERLYN, but he is obviously a sorcerer of extreme power. Like all of R.F.’s selves, Fannin glories in destruction. III:385–90, VII:184

FILARO, RUDIN:
Walter fought at JERICHO HILL under this name. VII:174, VII:184

FLAGG, RANDALL:
Under the name of Randall Flagg, Walter played a major role in both
The Eyes of the Dragon
and
The Stand.
In the first of these two books, he framed Peter (King Roland’s eldest son) for his father’s murder and placed the king’s weaker-willed younger son, Thomas, on the throne. (Walter hoped to bring the kingdom to ruin by manipulating Thomas.) In
The Stand,
Flagg becomes a truly demonic force. After more than 99 percent of America’s population dies of the
superflu, Flagg gathers the dregs of the survivors to him in Las Vegas. There, he accumulates both technological and biological weapons so that he can annihilate those people who live in the Free Zone and who still honor the WHITE. In this novel Flagg is referred to as the Walkin’ Dude, an epithet that Roland’s
ka-tet
sees spray-painted on a road sign in the alternative TOPEKA which they pass through at the beginning of
Wizard and Glass.
Although in his
Stand
incarnation Walter/Flagg seems almost as powerful as the CRIMSON KING himself, his ambitions are ultimately thwarted.

In
The Drawing of the Three,
Roland describes Flagg as a demon posing as a man, and says that he is capable of transforming men into dogs. Roland also tells us that Flagg is being pursued by two desperate and grim young men named Dennis and Thomas. Both of these characters come from
Eyes of the Dragon.

FEEMALO/FIMALO/FUMALO (UFFIS):
Roland and SUSANNAH meet these three STEPHEN KING look-alikes on the stone moat-bridge of Le CASSE ROI RUSSE. At first the three Stephen Kings claim to be one being—an uffi, or shape-changer—who was once employed as the CRIMSON KING’s court jester. However, in reality they are three separate men, all servants of the Red King. Their names are BRASS (Feemalo),
COMPSON (Fumalo), and RANDO THOUGHTFUL (Fimalo). The most important of these three is Fimalo/Rando Thoughtful.

According to this false, three-faced uffi, once the Crimson King discovered that Roland and his
tet
would defeat both the WOLVES of CALLA BRYN STURGIS and the DEVAR-TOI guards in THUNDERCLAP, he realized that the BEAMS would regenerate and that all of his dreams of murder and mayhem were destined to fail. Being an extremely bad loser, the Red King threw a temper tantrum. First he forced his castle servants to swallow rat poison, then he smashed the six BENDS O’ THE WIZARD’S RAINBOW which were in his possession, and finally he killed himself by swallowing a sharpened spoon. Once he was undead, he galloped toward the DARK TOWER so that he could (he hoped) prevent Roland from achieving his life’s goal.

Pretending to be conciliatory (since they alone had survived the Red King’s pique), the triple uffi offers Roland, Susannah, and OY two wicker baskets, which appear to contain warm clothes and food. Not surprisingly, the real contents (disguised by
glammer
) are much more disgusting. What the uffis offer are poisonous snakes and human body parts.

Susannah and Roland shoot Feemalo and Fumalo but leave Fimalo (who—once the
glammer
is broken—looks like an extremely ill old man) to confront the were-spider MORDRED, who is following them. The bodies of both Feemalo and Fumalo rot unnaturally fast.

FEEMALO (BRASS/GOODMOUTH KING/EGO):
As well as being called Goodmouth King, Feemalo is also referred to as STEPHEN KING Number Two and Right-Hand Stephen King. Unlike Fumalo, he is polite. He claims to be the uffi’s ego. VII:600–613, VII:614, VII:615, VII:619

FIMALO (RANDO THOUGHTFUL, AUSTIN CORNWELL/REFEREE KING/SUPEREGO):
During his years as the CRIMSON KING’s minister of state, Fimalo (who originally claims to be the uffi’s superego) was called Rando Thoughtful. Rando (who is actually an ordinary hume) was born AUSTIN CORNWELL in one of the MULTIPLE AMERICAS’ upstate NEW YORKs. Once upon a time, he ran the NIAGARA MALL. He also had a successful career in advertising. (He proudly tells our
tet
that he worked for both the Nozz-A-La and the Takuro Spirit accounts.)

Once his
glammer
disperses, Austin Cornwell looks like a very ill old man. His skull is covered in peeling eczema and his face is lumped with pimples and open, bleeding sores. Roland and Susannah choose not to kill him. Instead, they leave him to greet MORDRED, who arrives soon after they leave. Mordred feeds Austin’s eyes to the castle rooks and then eats the rest of him. VII:600–617, VII:619–24, VII:627, VII:632

CORNWELL, ANDREW JOHN:
Austin Cornwell’s father from TIOGA SPRINGS, NEW YORK. VII:616

FUMALO (COMPSON/BADMOUTH KING/ID):
Fumalo, also called STEPHEN KING Number One, Left-Hand Stephen King,
and Badmouth King, is supposed to be the uffi’s id. VII:600–613, VII:614, VII:615, VII:619

HUMANS (HUMES):

ARMITAGE, FRANK:
Frank Armitage is a hume who recruits BREAKERS from the parallel Earths. Real humans have to do this work since the CAN-TOI (despite their aspirations) don’t make very convincing men and women. VII:281, VII:283–90, VII:297

PRENTISS, PIMLI (DEVAR MASTER, KI’DAM):
Pimli Prentiss (formerly Paul Prentiss of RAHWAY, NEW JERSEY) is the Master of the DEVAR-TOI. Among the more discontented BREAKERS, he is known as the Devar-Toi’s
ki’-dam
or “shit-for-brains.”
Sai
Prentiss stands six foot two inches, has an enormous sloping belly, long legs, and slab thighs. He is balding and has the turnip nose of a veteran drinker. When he arrived at the Devar-Toi, he was a former prison warden and approximately fifty years old. He still looks the same age, though he has been in END-WORLD for decades. Although he is working to bring about the end of all the worlds, Pimli spends every Mother’s Day in tears. (He misses his ma.) Prentiss (who took a TAHEEN name) is good friends with the
taheen
security chief, FINLI O’TEGO.

During the final battle at the Devar-Toi, Roland shoots Prentiss and leaves him for dead. However, the prostrate and bleeding Devar Master still has enough life left to shoot EDDIE DEAN in the head. Roland quickly dispatches Prentiss, but Eddie dies.

SONESH, TASSA OF:
Tassa of Sonesh is PIMLI PRENTISS’s houseboy. He is slim and willowy and likes lipstick. He and TAMMY KELLY (Prentiss’s housekeeper) do not get along at all. (Tammy dislikes homosexual men.) Tassa is one of the few servants of the CRIMSON KING to survive the DEVAR-TOI battle. VII:299, VII:352–55, VII:358, VII:366, VII:371, VII:375, VII:400, VII:407

After the EAST ROAD battle in CALLA BRYN STURGIS, MIA, daughter of none, steals SUSANNAH DEAN’s body so that she can keep her appointment with RICHARD P.

Most of these guards are LOW MEN, though some are also TYPE THREE VAMPIRES. In a separate dining room (located behind a tapestry depicting ARTHUR ELD partaking in a cannibal’s feast) are a group of ancient TYPE ONE vampires.

Below the Dixie Pig is a DOORWAY, which leads from our world to the FEDIC DOGAN. Here, in the Dogan’s EXTRACTION ROOM, Mia gives birth to MORDRED. VI:365–84
