Norst

Norst (Japanese: ノースト Romaji: nōsuto) is a general of Dynast Grausherra.

He first appeared in the afterword of a Slayers Special novel, wanting to interview Amelia about the results of a character popularity contest, but was kicked out of the Royal Magic Library of Saillune before he could do so. For some reason, in that afterword he was referred to as Dynast's priest, but all other sources, including his first "official" appearance in the 17th novel, mention him as his general.

In the aforementioned novel, he was confronted by Lina Inverse after she heard a rumor of someone by his name in town. Norst trapped her and Gourry in an alternate dimension where he learned Lina's identity and began a shameful bit of grovelling, revealing just how infamous the sorceress had become among the mazoku over the years. He promised to return Lina to "the city of Latoka" if she left quietly, but ended up tricking her and transporting her to an entirely different city of Latoka outside the mazoku barrier.
