The character in my book doesn't have a name. I mean, he probably does, but its not used by any other character in the book, including the character himself. He has a generic name, kind of like the **The Dark Lord** or something along those lines. I've read a lot of books with characters like these, but they all seem to end up mentioning his name and using them. Is it taboo to never actually use the character's actual name but keep on calling him the generic name or rather, _title_?
