      In all the stories there's always something like this... Either they are totally bored because no one survives to talk to (until someone do and defeats them), or sharing this information in some way is the price of connection to magical world. It's possible to write entire fantasy world around this principle: if no one, but the creator, knows about some magic thing for too long, it looses power, because... erm... i don't know, it needs to be in the minds of man, or it get's deleted. Like from magical server somewhere unless more then one user exists? :-D

    Important note for the beginning of the story: in these times, men served in army for 25 (twenty five) years. By the time they get back home, there could be no home left. A lot of stories start with that premise. That also explains why the soldier stayed in this village in the end - there isn't much to return to 25 years later.

    Soldier is a popular archetype in Russian folk tales after Peter the Great reformation. Soldier usually portrayed as mischievous and roguish but noble type of person who travels around and punish villains and just generally unpleasant people with his wit rather than martial prowess. My favorite story is about soldier who cooked porridge from the axe.

      An interesting note is that Warlock merely means Oath-breaker or false of faith and was used for anyone accused of practicing unnatural magic.
      The oldest titles for those practicing what the west thinks of as magic were actually priestly titles; Magi, Magus, Magician etc.
      So title like Necromancer, Sorcerer and Warlock were either created or adapted to demonize these faiths, becoming broader and broader with time.

    Solders are quite prominent characters in Russian folklore of the XVIII century. Forced to serve for 25 years, few were coming home even if they survived this long. Most likely no one waits for them at home, believing they are already dead. This and very rare for a common folk set of skills make free-roaming veteran a mythical creature in himself. Surviving for so long at war meant veteran is extremely cunning, adoptive and basically fears nothing. Martial ability is not so important, in Russian fairytales veteran soldiers always outsmart and trick creatures known for trickery. He would make the devil regret making a deal with him. He would endure any horrors thorn at him like it is nothing and by doing so drive an evil creature to madness and trick them in making a fatal mistake. He not only solves and survives random paranormal encounters but also sometimes is employed by rich and powerful to solve curses and such... And sometimes he would fool corrupt authorities themself.

    You know, to be honest, while the effort is appreciated, the voices have often been hit or miss for me, the Bill and Ted voices from the Gilgamesh series being the best example of just a bit too much.
    I bring this up to say that, in contrast, I actually really enjoyed the voices for this episode. Just the right amount of camp.

    Villainy Lesson No. 1: Don't tell the Protagonist (or anyone for that matter) your plans or weakneses during your evil gloating.
    Villany Lesson No. 2: Don't do the evil gloating in the first place, just kill your adversary.
    Villainy Lesson No. 3: If your weakness is daylight, act fast, and don't get caught off guard.
    Villainy Lesson no. 4: If your plans, or life is threatened, don't just have a plan B. Have also plans C, D, E F, G, or even Z. Even the most foolproof contingency can fail, so you need to consider every possible (and impossible) scenario.
