Mark
If you need someone to do something stupid, Mark's your man. He is of the opinion that the only fun way to play games is the stupid way, and it's scary how well that philosophy works for him. Mark's characters tend towards the irrelevant
end of the sanity spectrum. His roleplaying methodology is to make things as
surreal as possible.

Pungent Pantaroma
Little is known about Pungent's past, other than his claim to have been raised by Dragons
(#8). Mostly, this insistence is met with raised eyebrows and a slow "riiiight." However, there is no doubting that Pungent knows a language that no one else can comprehend
(#79). As far as anyone can tell, this could truly be the language of Dragons, or it just might be a specific dialect of Gibberish.
During a rather undramatic fight, Pungent received a traumatic wound to the head,
resulting in the loss of his right eye
(#42).
Because of this injury, he spent most of the party's first adventure unconscious.
He proved to be an invaluable asset in the party's escape from Bob when he served
as flying transportation for Hew
(#126) and provided the "firepower" necessary to evade the angry mob of local marathon runners
(#128).
Later, Pungent was able to hold his own in a fight against some other orcs
(#184) and track those orcs back to a cave
(#192)
where they were quickly ambushed
(#200). Afterwards, while exploring
the cave, Pungent found a.. uh... doohickey
(#304).
It has since served no useful purpose, but it's the closest thing to treasure that he's picked up and he'll be damned if he's going to give it up.
Supplied to him by the Doctor back in Bob, Pungent has a stash of herbs that promote the healing and suppress the pain of his wound
(#174). These herbs appear to have some side effects
(#84)
and are occasionally used by other party members to distract him when necessary
(#289).
