Kurogane is certainly the designated chump in T:RC. He was kept completely in the dark about most things for most of the action, etc, etc. It's interesting, actually, that he still has the faith in Fai and Jr. that he does.

You could very well be right about their real names, but I think we've seen enough physical wings (the mark of death on the princess, the form her memories took just before they were scattered) that their names could very well be something else as well.
