Editing List of The Sandman characters (section)

===Cluracan===
The '''Cluracan''' is a [[courtier]] of the Queen of Faerie and the brother to [[#Nuala|Nuala]], the Dream King's fairy servant. An amoral, merry, capricious, homosexual rogue, Cluracan features in ''[[The Sandman: Season of Mists|Season of Mists]]'', ''[[The Sandman: Worlds' End|Worlds' End]]'', ''[[The Sandman: The Kindly Ones|The Kindly Ones]]'', and ''[[The Sandman: The Wake|The Wake]]''. He is strongly reminiscent of the "[[trickster]]" archetype also associated with [[#Loki|Loki]]. Following the events of ''[[The Sandman: The Kindly Ones|The Kindly Ones]]'', Cluracan offends his queen so badly that she sends him to the court of Llinor, where tradition demands that he marry a lady of the royal house; whereupon Cluracan's [[archenemy|nemesis]]&nbsp;– identical to him in every way except his sexual orientation&nbsp;– takes Cluracan's place.<ref>{{Citation| last=Hogan| first=Peter | title=The Dreaming #16: "Ice" | date=September 1997| publisher=Vertigo/DC Comics}}</ref>

The Cluracan is named after a drunken [[leprechaun]] of [[Irish mythology]], the [[Cluricaun]].

In the podcast, Cluracan is voiced by [[Aidan Turner]].
