"Dirk Cholera" is not the Bandit Prince's real name; it is a stage name like that of many gladiators. His real name is known only to Sheila Greywand, who took him prisoner many generations ago, along with other heroes of the army that had just lost its bid for world domination. A wizard of that army had already made the Bandit Prince and others immortal. Thus, it is a different type of immortality than that of the Lord Protectors. When the Bandit Prince is killed, his flesh will gradually pull itself together and regenerate without the aid of Sheila's wand. He languished in prison for centuries, until someone found a use for him, putting him and his compatriots into the Dark Arena. For awhile he had free run of the Isle (since Sheila believed many Lord Protectors could beat him if need be).

He is 5'11" tall, with blue-black hair (in a ponytail) and a thin mustache. His eyes are as black and emotionless as those of a shark. He is attractive in a sinister way, with swarthy olive skin, very white teeth, and a muscular build. He wears black leather, and although he bathes regularly, there is always a whiff of death about him, perhaps because he has died so many times. He is a wall of steel fighter who uses two scimitars.

He is a much better fighter than anyone knows. For some time Cholera used his relationship with Desiree, and the aura of legitimacy it gave him, to test the Lord Protectors of Darkholm. He wanted to know which ones were corruptible. Then, naturally, he planned to corrupt them. His ultimate motives are a deep, dark secret. Several years ago one of Dirk's schemes went too far, and Sheila Greywand "killed" his body and entrapped his spirit in the Runeblade of Darkholm as a punishment.
