Tachwyr
Ensign Flandry meets Mei (approximately, lieutenant j.g.) Tachwyr on Merseia in Ensign Flandry. Lieutenant Flandry meets Mei Tachwyr on Irumclaw in A Circus Of Hells. We do not see Tachwyr again until the meeting on Talwin in A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows when Flandry is a Captain and Tachwyr is a Qanryf. However, we are told that Flandry:
"...knew him from encounters both adversary and half friendly since they were fledglings in their services..." (p. 456)
- back in Ensign Flandry.
Tachwyr appears only once more, in The Game Of Empire, where he has become the Hand of his Vach and presides over the Grand Council. He does not meet Fleet Admiral Flandry but does remember vanished Aycharaych.
To be continued.

They're embodied representatives of the saying: "Nothing personal, old chap."
Whereas Merau Varagan is a different proposition. As, even more so, are the worst SM Stirling villains.
Varagan isn't fighting for his country, or a cause, or even for his confederates.
The Exaltationists are explicit: if they win, they'll then fight each other to the death, "until the last God reigns alone".
It's the Cause of Ego.
