The Best and Worst Gemmell Character - Page 3 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

I really liked Druss the Legend, but that's really an obvious choice.

I read the sword in the storm after midnight falcon and, surprisingly, I liked Connavar more than Bane. I thought he was kickass.

My least favourite is definitely Asta Kahn. He's a cowardly arse.

I'd have 2 agree with sebcharrot Druss is class and i hated that guy asta khan.I really liked talisman in deathwalker as well i thought he was a great character.

I liked best Jon Shannow, Tenaka Khan and the Waylander, I guess I'm not being original here

Also, I think that the Legend was Gemmel's best novel, although as characters go I preferred Regnak and Virae to Druss about whom I didn't greatly care. As for his worst characters, I don't remember the names, but I didn't finish reading The Winter Warriors. It's a pretty average Drenai novel, with pretty much the same set of characters as always, but I tried to read it twice and I couldn't, the second time with only about a hundred pages remaining. Guess that was one Nadir/Drenai book too much, although maybe I'll give it another try...in time

As a few people have said I have to say my favorite was Druss, I mean he is like 65 and still Badass. He never gives up it is the classic indominable human spirit. But at a very close second. I would say Serbitar. Rek was quite amusing as well.
As for worst hummm. Id say...well actually I think I couldnt say worst but my least favorite would have to be the crazy woman who died with Druss and masaged him or whatever forgot her name.

The best has got to be Connavar. He is just the greatest warrior who ever lived. End of discussion

The worst is the witch who created the swords in White wolf, cant remember he name, but she irratates me so bad!

as ive only read Legend cant really comment on the rest but i like druss and rek. orrin gets quite good too.

hmm. i hated druss. that's simple for me. favourite, i dont' think i had one. in each book my fav was usually the sensitive type guy who ended up dead. but that's cos i fancy them (yes i fancy book characters) i liked waylander. but teneka (is that his name? it sbeen a while, king beyond the gate guy) i liked him. i felt bad for him.

Tenaka Khan. Purple-eyed geezer who was Ulric's decendant. He was pretty cool with the whole dual swords business.
I've mentioned it before, but my favourite character is Jon Shannow. Merciless killer with a heart o' gold.

the_faery_queen · 18th December 2005, 01:54 PM

yep. that's the guy! i hate not remembering details!

i never read the jon shannow stuff. i am a picky picky reader, and fantasy with guns in tends to put me off a bit *shrug*

omg! Viruk - he's one of the best characters in any of the books!

the_faery_queen · 2nd January 2006, 11:33 AM

i want to add i like the guy from the skilgangon books (the second one, sword of night and day) who had all the bad headaches. men in pain is attractive to me (don't ask)
tho i don't like skilgangon himself that much. i prefer waylander

The Wayward Patriot · 2nd January 2006, 11:19 PM

Howdy folks. Everyone here makes good shouts (that was a funny debate over the Tenaka Khan issue...). I'm gonna throw a new name into the ring: Helikaon!

ladyflorange · 3rd January 2006, 09:48 AM

Dace is goooooooood!Still think Jaim Grymauch though, or Skilgannon maybe

ladyflorange · 3rd January 2006, 09:50 AM

oh I really have to read these books again...I'm craving now! Damn it!

The Wayward Patriot · 3rd January 2006, 04:19 PM

Howdy. You all make good points,(that was a good argument about the Tenaka Khan issue) and the answer is probably too individual to each person for us to agree. I'm going to throw a new name into the ring, Helikaon. Overcame all his fears but not his demons...
