- Ch 5Ogmol's mother was a silver-torc human sculptor from the Wessex world, too emotionally unstable to last long in the Many-Colored Land; he was her only child.
- Ch 5Ogmol repeatedly urges Bryan to wear a golden torc so they can mindspeak and save time in the research.
- Ch 5Ogmol says hybrids are stronger, can swim, are more fertile and less likely to produce Firvulag or black-torcs, so purebloods fear and disdain them.
