My first nemesis in this game was mortally weak to fire, so I blew up a barrel right next to him and he died. Two hours later he shows up again and I do the same thing. I leave the region and come back a couple days later and he's practically all metal. I brand him and make him my bodyguard. His name is something the Friendly, so every time he showed up he would say something about being friends instead of fighting. We become best friends. I'm fighting another captain and summon him to help. He gets blown to hell. I cry for hours.
