Laurie

[Ivexus]

What happened to Laurie, how did he die and in which book

[Fake Vencar]

Laurie died some time before Shadow of a Dark Queen by some cause not mentioned to us. He was married to Princess Carline, had a few children and grandchildren (the only one we saw was called Duncan) and was the Duke of Salador

[dekket]

Carline was still alive in Merchant Prince, and said something along the lines that Roo's cousin Duncan reminded her of her late husband.

[Thalador]

God forbid a character die of natural causes. I never considered Laurie a very important character, and his usefulness ended after the Riftwar Saga.

[Fake Vencar]

Throughout the books, Laurie was never as important as say Arutha or Pug, but he had his uses, mainly as a companion: a companion for Pug, Kasumi, Arutha...but, in my opinion, he didn't really become the destined hero he wanted to be

[woodsman]

I liked Laurie, mainly because he was more ordinary and more realistic, although, he was no Nakor. He was also a great friend to Pug on Kelewan and when he returns to Midkemia and helps the old magician, that struck a chord with me.

Laurie was cool,in these times he would have been a rock star

[Grimblade]

Hah. Very true Lapis.

[Fake Vencar]

He would play a guitar for sure!

[MrWall]

Not a hero? he was directly responsible for bringing about the end of the riftwar, seems pretty heroic to me

and I like them dying of natural causes, good to see those that deserve it having a long, and presumably happy, life
