draco: Very creative idea, though not quite the direction I was going for on the first two points.
Zblader: Nailed first and third points, second is a bit off but related, and missed the subtext that the hints were given by a creature.
Treldon: Much like Z, though the second point is closer to my thoughts, but again not a creature
Frozen: Moderately close on all three points, though none are exact, and again not a creature.
Treldon is overall the closest to my concept, although Z's is very close behind.
