Quaver appears as a loyal (if not overbearing) brown minion in the service of the Fourth Overlord. He first appears when he and Gnarl discover the new Overlord frozen in a block of ice, and stupidly sticks his eyeball to the ice, and pulls his eye out before Gnarl "fires up the dragon". He then replaces his missing eye with a glass one, and coins neverending poems and songs about the Overlord's journey's and achievments. He is considered very annoying by the other minions, so much so that he has been kicked out of the Brown Minion gate. Quaver has been known to use his rattle as a cane. His love of the arts is so great, it is implied that he faints when the Overlord retrieves a harp, and he quickly forms a minion band to sing out praises to the Overlord.
