 * "There could be a mission clarifier field for any characters first appearence (being the mission that you are on when the character appears)."

This is not very practical. If people start doing that, then the field intended for a quick one or two word note starts getting used for more paragraph-like content, and paragraphs are best left in the body text. The field should ideally encourage just one or two words.


 * "A boss could be a type of enemy (as you suggested) or it could be a character type as well."

This is the one I've toyed with and discarded. It's easy to do, but conceptually it got unwieldy. I want to keep this field as simple as possible.


 * "The character type "boss" would also add the enemy category."

And that was the reason I started toying with it in the first place.

My subsequent idea was to move that to the clarifier though. eg.

Enemy (Borderlands 2, boss) Playable character (Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel)
 * Wilhelm

Although I'm reluctant to do that too. Thankfully there is only a very small minority of characters that this would apply to.
