ARTHUR: I am Arthur Frayn, and I am Zardoz. I have lived three hundred years and I long to die, but death is no longer possible. I am immortal. I present now my story, full of mystery and intrigue, rich in irony and most satirical. It is set deep in a possible future, so none of these events have yet occured, but they may. Be warned lest you end as I. In this tale I am a fake god by occupation and a magician by inclination. Merlin is my hero. I am the puppetmaster. I manipulate many of the characters and events you will see, but I'm invented too for your amusement and entertainment. And you, poor creatures. Who conjured you out of the clay? Is God in show business too?

I have no information on Niall Buggy at this time.
