A Goodreads user asked Nicholas Eames:

Hi! Just a quick question - what influenced the characters for Kings of the Wyld?

Nicholas Eames Hi! Thanks for asking.

The main five who make up Saga are loosely based on the players in a 'classic' rock band. Gabe is the charismatic lead singer, Ganelon the highly-skilled 'axe-man' (lead guitar), Matrick as the drummer (he wields a pair of knives, after all) and Moog as the zany keyboard player.

Which leaves, of course, Clay Cooper, as the quiet, often-overlooked bass player without whom the whole band would fall apart.

Then there's Larkspur, who is a mixture of listening to Black Sabbath and Sephiroth's theme from Final Fantasy VII too often.

Hope that answers your question! Thank you again!

Nick
