Yep. Do you want the format to be *insert name here* POV?

It doesn't really matter in this case, seeing as it is only his POV; besides I'm sure it'll be easy to tell who it is by the scarred arm. However, who are the other people talking in the first chapter? Are they the same person?

They're just soldiers. But I will give them names, if it helps, so you can tell who's speaking. That's generally the point of names...

I know, I saw it and I thought, "What? Is his name actually No Name, or does he not have a name? His parents must have been really horrible to name him that.

You could always write "a soldier said" "a man said" "a man with a scruffy beard came up to him" etc, if you don't want names

No Name might scare away Gnomes and Trolls

Fireproof - Chapter Three: Dragon Traps

 

"So, sir, where do we plot our course to?' one of my soldiers asked.
'We sail here.' I replied, marking the area with an 'X'.
The solider gulped.
'Dragon Island, sir?' he stammered. 'But...but we can't go there...'
'We can, and we will, and when we do, I will feed you to a dragon for questioning me. Or I could do it now...' I smiled nastily.
'P...point taken, sir...'
I stood at the hull of the ship, staring down into the waves. I would have to be careful, for we were entering Dragon Island waters now, and a Scauldron or a Thunderdrum might come to inspect the ship.
Eventually, I could see the silhouette of Dragon Island.
'Ready the traps, and the dragons...' I whispered. I found it hard not to.
'Aye aye, sir...'
One of the soldiers handed me several gigantic, evil looking dragon traps, with huge, cruel jaws, in a net.
I turned to my dragons, which were behaving rather strangely.
'Of course! This was your old home...'
I waved the net full of traps in front of them, and sighed in fake sympathy.
'I remember how many dragons I had left to die in these traps. Such a shame...they looked so lonely, so sad. You are lucky. You have been spared that fate...for now...'

Fireproof - Chapter Four: How To Prepare For A Dragon-Hunt

 

"Sir, where do you want us to set the traps?' a solider asked.
"I will do it. You wouldn't want this-' I gestured to what was once my arm. '-to happen to you, would you...?'
He shivered.
'No, sir.'
'Good. Now, wait here, while I set the traps.'
Once I had finished, I stood back and admired my handiwork.
Then I turned to my men.
'A quarter of you will stay here to check the traps. The rest of you will come with me. We will need nets, bolases, and flares.'
'Yes, sir.'
They went off to get the supplies.
A solider handed me a lighted flare, and I put it grimly between my teeth.
'Try not to get eaten.' I advised the men who were staying back to check the traps.
'Now...TONIGHT, THE BEAST DIES!!!' I roared.
