You must be the guy in games that talks to every npc and is like "they might have pertinent information!" And the rest of your party is like "dude his name is homeless guy #34 I don't think he knows where any forbidden treasures or dragons are!"
The old lore for the minions was that minions were controlled by Summoners in training. So children control the minions while the adults control the champions
but now the lore is changed, so idk
