Captain Tev Longstare

As a young lieutenant, Tev Longstare was a minor but heroic character first introduced in Book 3, having participated in at least part of the Rubion Sword incident of that book. At the end of his tale there is is promoted to captain and told that he will be recieving a very special mission. His tale in that book ends there, with the reader left to assume that he embarked on many successful adventures for which he was richly rewarded.

We do not see or hear of Captain Tev's exploits again until Book 8, when young Asana Millytopthought hears tales of the exploits of the Captain told by some sailors congregated outside the Salty Lick tavern.

In Chapter 17 of Book 8, Tev appears in actual fact. Now an old man, but strangely not nearly as old as he should be given the time between the books. Time moves more slowly for him, perhaps because of his location, or perhaps because of the items of great power which he had in his posession.
