The Jman in the TFL opener was probably NOT one of the five champions, since the zerk most probably *was*. Jmen, you may have noticed, cannot run that fast, owing to the fact that they have take a cue from Mr T and carry like nine big golden tiles around their necks. Despite the big fur coat, they aren't actually hiding the tiles from the cops. Anyway, it looked like the zerk hero (one of two possible) was hauling ass all the way, and I doubt a jman could have beaten him to the camp. :)
Also: it was Phelot who turned the dead humans at Avon's Grove into thrall. Sorry.
