If Gaston's buddies page is gone where would the fourth man in the group go.
Yes we do need to know the different between all three of them so we can know who is whom. But we can't forget about the fourth guy standing with the group because he doesn't have a name so what would be done about that.
We would have one character with no clue and no idea where to place him. You have a good idea so we can know about the attributes of the characters and know everything else about them.
But there is just one question what about the other guy? There are three names mentioned but there are four people in the group.
