Quaver

Quaver is one of the Browns, but unlike other minions he has an Irish accent. He is also the Fourth Overlord's jester, and invents amusing poems about things that happen to his Overlord. He loses his right eye when he stupidly sticks to the ice in which the Overlad is frozen and pulls off abruptly to avoid being burned to cinders by the "dragon" Gnarl mentions, used to melt the ice. His missing eye is replaced by a glass one from then on.

Although Quaver is similar to the former jester, he is more sophisticated and more loyal to the Overlord, than the old jester. The other minions show a dislike for Quaver (going so far as kicking him out of the brown minion gate), because of his poems, which are made to honour the Overlord and his journeys. Quaver also sometimes uses his rattle as a cane. Quaver's love of art is so great that when the Overlord finds a harp in the Nordberg Sanctuary, he faints with excitement, or so Gnarl says. After obtaining the harp, Quaver puts a Minion Band together to sing his poems to the Overlord theme song. According to Gnarl, Quaver is also the chef from his comment about wondering what he will make for lunch.
