It's incredible! How dare they do that! Publish unlicensed UA stuff and
not even respect cannon! :)

Pendragon seems to be the good ol' Once and Future King. He incarnates the
leader (cf. what happens in Montreal). His taboo seems to be something like
taking charge, even when you know you can't. That seems to be his biggest
problem: he has to make choices, and then he can't cope with that.

Coyote/Trickster doesn't really behave like one. His personality is quite hard
to grasp. Maybe that's why he's the Trickster :)

About the Olympian (not Herculean, I don't know why), well, he's a demigod,
son of Zeus. He's very very strong. He was assigned to 12 impossible works by
his father (can't remember why, though). He succeded, and his wife finally
poisoned him (IIRC she poisoned the lion's hide he was wearing). You can
certainly find endless information on Hercule/Herakles on the Web.

The Dragonslayer is typically the one who feeds on its own kind. The fact that
he doesn't feel pain because he bathed in dragon's blood reminds Achilles (his
mother bathed him in the Styx, holding him by the most famous Achilles' heel).
And also I think Siegfried (and Fafnir) but I have to check that.

The Son bros remind me of the Watchmen. I don't know why. The outfit, probably.
