Blinky Galadrigal/Relationships

A list of **Blinky Galadrigal**'s relationships with certain characters throughout the franchise.

## Family

### Dictatious Galadrigal

Dictatious is Blinky's older brother. The two had dabbled in studying magicks together, but then Dictatious pledged his loyalty to Gunmar, and then he faked his own death in order to prevent Blinky from knowing. In "Party Monster", Blinky explains that his library is all that he has left of his brother and talked very fondly of him. Of course, Dictatious once pointed out that they could never agree on anything. From comments made by both Dictatious and Blinky it is revealed they had a dysfunctional relationship and that Dictatious would often bully his brother.

However, when Blinky unexpectedly reunites with his so-called deceased brother in Part Two, he was completely shocked to discover that Dictatious has faked his death and turned to the dark side. He tries to convince himself that he was merely under Gunmar's control, but later comes to terms that Dictatious willingly joined Gunmar's cause of his own free will. While being tortured, Blinky used a flare on his brother to permanently blind him. Blinky lost all faith in his brother and burned most of his books in his library out of spite (though Jim and the others saved most of them).

In Part Three, when Dictatious sees the error of his ways and tries to warn Blinky of Morgana and Gunmar’s plan, Blinky is understandably doubtful if he should trust his brother, especially after he almost killed him in the Darklands before. However, when the goblins attack the house, Blinky realizes that Dictatious was telling the truth. The two sort of rebuild their brotherhood, although Blinky states that he still doesn't trust him completely.

### Araknak the Agile

Araknak is one of Blinky's distant relatives. It's unknown if they've ever physically met each other, but not likely as it's implied that Araknak most likely fell before Blinky existed.

It's speculated that Blinky's passion for training Trollhunters comes from his admiration of his ancestor being a Trollhunter himself.

### Atnur and Abdwen

Atnur and Abdwen were the parents of the Trollhunter, Araknak the Agile, and are therefore also Blinky's distant relatives.

It is unlikely that they ever met, as it is implied that Atnur and Abdwen died long before Blinky was born.

## Friends/Allies

### Jim Lake Jr.

Blinky is Jim's advisor as the Trollhunter and a surrogate father figure to him. It was Blinky who encouraged him to become the brand new Trollhunter and protect the world from evil. He gives Jim advice on how to defeat his opponents and the basics of wielding his sword (though Draal eventually takes over in training Jim in proper swordsmanship).

Over time, the mentor and mentee grow closer with growing understanding and respect of each other, and it culminates into what can only be a bond like that of father and son, which Blinky confirms by calling Jim a son in "Jimhunters".

### AAARRRGGHH!!!

At first, Blinky thought AAARRRGGHH!!! was faking his redemption, but overtime grew to truly trust him. Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!! are close friends and are rarely seen apart, almost like family.

When AAARRRGGHH!!! was turned to stone, Blinky was deeply devastated and kept his stone corpse within his library, until he was miraculously revived by a Creeper's Sun antidote concoction they've received from the Janus Order.

When AAARRRGGHH!!! decides to stay in Arcadia to help Toby protect it, Blinky was a little saddened at first, but then graciously accepted his decision and hopes to see him again one day.

In Wizards the origin of their relationship is revealed; They origin saw each other as enemies and AAARRRGGHH!! try to kill him. Eventually they began to bond over somethings and become friends.

### Toby Domzalski

As Jim's best friend, Toby has many questions about the troll world, and Blinky is happy to answer them. In "Roaming Fees May Apply", they are both thrown into Gatto's Keep and work together to find Gunmar's Birthstone and escape.

### Claire Nuñez

Claire and Blinky get along well, partly due to Claire reading the books on troll lore and history. They share a good friendship and mutual respect in each other that both are willing to defend the other from danger. Claire helped Blinky solve many prizes in how to defeat Gunmar and Morgana.

### Vendel

As Vendel's assistant, Blinky is loyal to him and is always trying to please him. However, Vendel believed Blinky to be somewhat of a menace, due to Blinky's history. However, he begins to warm up to the idea of Blinky being Jim's mentor, even claiming that the boy has been given a mentor.

Blinky was devastated when he learns of Vendel's assassination from the doings of the evil Queen Usurna. And during an argument with Dictatious claims that he would only call Vendel his brother.

### NotEnrique

At first, Blinky couldn't stand NotEnrique for his self-serving, backstabbing actions. However, his negative views of the changeling dial down when he joins the team, though he's still annoyed by him.

### Varvatos Vex

Blinky and Varvatos first met in "D'aja Vu", though Varvatos mistaken Blinky as a bounty hunter, but eases when he learns that he's good. Later, the mentors seemed to have gained a professional view of each other as Varvatos claims that Blinky possesses the four arms of a royal. However, they lose their memories of everything they've been through together by the end of the episode.

## Enemies

### Bular

Naturally, Blinky and Bular are enemies. When Blinky tried to infiltrate the museum to find Killahead Bridge, Bular takes him hostage and threatens to kill him if Jim does not open the bridge.

### Gunmar

Despite having little interaction, Blinky not only fears Gunmar, but he also despises his ruthless ways of taking over the surface lands.

### Angor Rot (formerly)

Blinky and Angor almost rarely interact with each other whenever they confront, but it's clear Blinky sees him as a threat to his pupil, Jim.

### Queen Usurna

At first, Blinky was respectful towards Usurna when she first visits Trollmarket. However, he becomes increasingly hostile towards the Krubera queen when she selfishly declares to tear down the Killahead Bridge with Jim in it. His hostility towards Usurna only increases when she not only exiles him to the Deep falsely, but when he discovers that she is working for Gunmar and outright murdered Vendel in cold blood.

He was clearly overjoyed when Usurna drowns to her death in a mud bog, thus avenging every traitorous and despicable action she has committed.

### Morgana

Blinky is well aware of Morgana's existence, and like other trolls, he fears her and the power she possesses. He also saw the vile witch as a threat to not only to trollkind (good and bad alike), but to humanity as well.
