If it's Cairon, his role is to guide and advise those in the story's world.
For Morla, the Ancient One, her role is to be a source of wisdom. When Atreyu comes to her, she has the knowledge that he needs. She's like an old sage in that world, even if she's a bit grumpy and reluctant at first. Her existence shows that in the 'Neverending Story' world, even the oldest and seemingly most unapproachable beings can hold the keys to important information.

As we don't know exactly which 'black guy' is meant, it's hard to say. If it's a side character, his significance might be in adding to the overall diversity and atmosphere of the story's world.
In 'The Neverending Story', there could be various characters that might be described as a black guy. It could be a minor character that perhaps isn't as well - known as some of the main protagonists like Atreyu. Maybe it's a character from a specific part of the story that you remember more clearly. If you can recall more details about this character, like what he does or where he appears in the story, it would be easier to identify.
The dragon could be a test or a challenge for the main character. The protagonist has to face the dragon in order to progress in the story, showing their courage and growth. It also might be a symbol of the unknown and the power of the fantasy world. The dragon represents the kind of danger and wonder that exists in the story's universe, and the main character's interaction with it is a key part of their journey.
Since the idea of an 'old couple' isn't a very straightforward one in this story, if we think about older characters in general, they often represent the long - standing traditions and wisdom of the Neverending Story's world. For example, the ancient races like the Rock Biter's kind have a certain wisdom that comes with their age, which could be seen as a kind of significance in the grand scheme of the story's universe.
It's not specified exactly in the story. But based on the descriptions, he seems to be around 10 or 11 years old.
There might not be a single, well - known 'old couple' in a very traditional sense in 'The Neverending Story'. However, if we consider some of the more aged or long - existing characters that could be paired in a way, it could be the Rock Biter and his kind, who are ancient and have their own family - like units among their race. They are part of the rich tapestry of characters in the story's world.
The age of Atreyu isn't clearly defined. However, based on his actions and appearance in the story, one could guess that he's somewhere in his early teens, maybe 11 or 13.
