Blaine is a creation of North Central Positronics. Much more than a mere train, Blaine is also a part of the computer intelligence running the city of Lud and influencing the Pubes and Grays that dwell there. Blaine has gone mad and has split into two personalities: Big Blaine, who runs the show, and Little Blaine, the representative of the remainder of Blaine's sanity. Blaine is obsessed with riddles, to the point where he makes a deal with Roland and his ka-tet: if they can stump him with a riddle, Blaine will deliver them safely to their destination. If they have failed to stump the Mono by the time they reach Topeka, they will be unwilling participants in Blaine's suicide. |
