You people keep saying pervert like it is a bad thing.

I didn't stutter (technically impossible on the internet). Let me clear it up, though:

Say you got a chapter were two characters descend into--I dunno--a cavern and at the end of that cavern, it's very tense, the build up and suspense is all there, and then there's that one line dialogue like: "So you've finally made it" (except more originally than that) and then END OF CHAPTER. That's it. Wouldn't that make you want to read the next chapter to find out who this person is at the end of this suspense-filled cavern?

It would for me. And a lot of authors have done this.

OK, I see what you're saying. I guess I wouldn't think of that as "introducing a character", which will presumably happen in the next chapter. But you could call it that, and it's certainly done a lot and effective.
