Nope, that would be simply "slave". This was not the person's real name, and he was called that only in certain occassion. But a rather significant one, I might add.

(or is it that you already received your copy of CoH and in tolkienic maddness read it as far as that moment?)

Of course, correct. Please, take over.

Understood. I thought you meant it like that. And, as you say, at least you tried. That counts as well

EDIT: I just noticed, that last time, the posts I send in reply to TM mostly start with the word *AHEM*

Nah, I believe in the earlier version of the story this part is also present so I remembered about it

Ok...what character, as the only one of six, reached his goal?

Six? Are you sure they were six? I found many examples of two, one of four, several of five and seven, but none of six. Could you at least say if they were... um... all together, like for example a company of whom only one survived till the end, or that these where six totally different characters, like six people trying to reach something at several times or even enemies trying to reach some goal, of who only one succeeded?

A company, but not of all six.
