You know it's been so long since I've read these, but I'd have to say that from what I do remember my favorite character(s) would have to be Aunt Pol and Durnik. They just stick in my mind.

Cheers,

Polgara is great but my personal fav has to be the supreme magician himself, Belgarath. Their interactions were some of the best parts of the books for me. With everyone else he seems the be the master of his world and know all the answers; but put Polgara in the room with him and you can see what a faker he could be at times.

I haven't read those. Why don't you start a new thread for each and tell me a little bit about them?

Cheers,

Some kind soul scaned the map from Belgariad and Malloreon series.

My favourite character has always been, and always will be Prince Kheldar (Silk).
The man is soo cool. He's devious, brilliant, dishonest and has a passion for stealing.

ponyperson · 28th February 2001, 08:34 PM

well, silk is just great... what an incredible character.. so devious, and written so deeply..

but of course, given my name, you have to realize that my fav's would be Hettar, and Horse!!!!..

the way Eddings writes his characters they are ALL so deep and so well written, that youn cant help but to love them all..

Mellian · 11th March 2001, 04:28 PM

I agree Eddings character are all great. However I would have to go with Polgara as my favorite. Hard choice to make though.

I always liked Ce'Nedra (sp?) and Silk ...I also liked the big burly guy...I forget his name....guh been so long...I also liked Polgara...always so.....I dunno ......witty?

ponyperson · 13th March 2001, 09:23 PM

"the big, burly guy?"
i think you mean Barak...

they are all pretty cool...

Polgara has such an inner strength about her....having lived so long, and seen so much, and yet she continues to love and has the ability to be loved...
in one moment her eyes are steely grey and inspiring fear, and the next moment her arms open to give comfort...she held no grudges (except maybe Zedar), and judged not by appearance, but by ability and character...
maybe we are attracted to her character because she embodies so much that we wish were in ourselves?

I don't know, there was something about Beldin you just couldn't avoid liking... :smilej: the way he would go for the simple solutions, like Urvon and the hook... :lol:
