Hmm, lets see if I can remember.
Siros and Nysan are old names. They were the names of my first table-top D&D characters, from my younger years playing on the weekends with my parents and their Navy buddies. Siros was an insecure human wizard with a fear of clouds (don't ask). Nysan was a half-elf priest that constantly argued with a green rock named Reese (which was also the name of a short lived bard character I played here on FK).
Trilev is a slightly altered version of a randomly generated name I used in the game "Icewind Dale". Basically stayed with me as a back-up name.
Garz Muckrot was a NPC I created in one of my dungeons for table-top D&D. He was a goblin zombie servant of a lich. He constantly lost his rotting fingers, often replacing them with spare body parts til he found his old ones. His career in table-top dungeons ended after taking a swan dive into a rather large pool of acid, trying to recover one of his feet that rotted off.
Gilain Orebearer is nearly as old as I am. Years before I could play D&D, I tried to draw characters I wanted to play. Gilain was my first dwarf and his original image is a stick figure with a beard and a pick. The drawing thankfully no longer exists. He did not get a name for several years and his first name was actually a nickname. He was obsessed with finding "the perfect ore vein" everywhere he travelled and was nicknamed Orebearer by his peers. He was referred to simply as Orebearer for about 6 years until I started reading materials on dwarves. Eventually, Orebearer shifted to his family name and Gilain was pieced together from several sources for his first name.
Thats it for the main characters...
