Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who does Susannah refer to as 'the Great Lost character?'

Answer: Bango Skank

Bango Skank is a character that Peter Straub originally intended to use in 'The Talisman' but chose not to in the end. Who exactly Bango Skank is is never fully explained in the 'The Dark Tower' series. He is known by the graffiti messages that the ka-tet find occasionally throughout the books.

2. How does Randall Flagg meet his demise?

Answer: Mordred murders him by using mind-control over him and eating him.

Many readers of the series expected Flagg and Roland to have a final confrontation where Roland would murder the evil wizard and continue on his journey to the Dark Tower. The fact that Mordred instead kills Flagg is very shocking.

3. Which member of the ka-tet (besides Roland) does not die on his/her way to the tower?

Answer: Susannah Dean

Each of the three deaths is very heartbreaking and suprising. Eddie is killed by a bullet through the head by the dying Pimli Prentiss. Jake is killed when in an attempt to save Stephen King's life he is struck by a van. And Oy, attacking the were-spider Mordred, is murdered when Mordred throws him and he is impaled on a tree branch.

4. Patrick Danville is a very important character in 'The Dark Tower' series, but what other Stephen King novel is Patrick in?

Answer: Insomnia

Ralph Robert's main objective in 'Insomnia' is to by any means keep Patrick Danville alive. Clotho and Lachesis tell him that Patrick is one of the Great Ones and will be an instrumental part in making sure the Tower doesn't fall.

5. What are the names of the two rottweilers rummaging around in the cooler in the back of Bryan Smith's van?

Answer: Bullet and Pistol

The first thing Stephen King wrote after feeling well again was the short story, 'Riding the Bullet.'

6. Who are the two men who save Donald Callahan's life from the Hitler brothers?

Answer: Calvin Tower and Aaron Deepneau

Aaron Deepneau would later become one of the heads of the Tet Corporation along with John Cullum and Moses Carver. The Tet Corporation's main objectives are to protect the rose, thwart Sombra and North Central Postitronics at every chance they get, and to also try their best to protect Stephen King.

7. What Tarot card does Jake represent?

Answer: The Sailor

Roland is represented by the Hanged Man tarot card, Eddie by the Prisoner card and Susannah by the Lady of Shadows. The others three tarot cards are the Tower, Life and Death. The man in black tells Roland that neither of the Life or Death cards are for him and he places the Hanged Man card over the Tower card but won't tell Roland what it signifies.

8. Many of Stephen King's novels and/or short story collections tie in to the 'Dark Tower' series. Which of these does not?

Answer: Dreamcatcher

The novels that were in any way connected to the "Dark Tower" series were bold-faced on the author ad-cards in the last three books of the series.

9. What is the name of Roland's mother?

Answer: Gabrielle

Roland accidently murders his mother when he mistakes her for Rhea of the Coos. This event will deeply affect him for the rest of his life.

10. What special ability does Patrick Danville have?

Answer: He can both create and uncreate things by drawing them

Patrick Danville is an instrumental part in defeating the Crimson King.
