Agreed, Trask is a good character. Very similar to Odeyseus in Gemmells Troy trilogy

If I told you that, Nixie would set a demon from the 5th circle on me

nixie · 26th October 2006, 08:01 PM

I don't need demons

Speaking of favourite characters, Kaspar has fast become one of mine

Valko · 26th October 2006, 08:41 PM

I think his Demonwar characters in general are some of the best he's written

The Upright Man · 3rd November 2006, 11:19 PM

i dunno, i prefer the original lot and one or two from the conclave lot

The Demonwar characters seem to have more depth, I feel he's taken more time to flesh them out

The Upright Man · 3rd November 2006, 11:52 PM

ye i guess, still he could have done better with the depth of magnus and caleb

As has been said before their are many likeable admirable or memorable characters but my favourites so far (Riftwar, Serpent War, Krondor the Betrayal, Conclave of Shadows and Flight of the Nighthawks) are Baru and Martin.

There is something particularly appealing about these two (quite similar in many regards characters) both are taciturn honour bound men of great skill but without any special powers and a great deal of good sense.

I wasn't entirely happy with the old Martin in the The King's Buccaneer, I think he became something of a doppleganger of his father with his oftentimes severe nature that and never getting over the loss of his wife.

Still killing off Briana in that fashion was a great way to get me incredibly pissed off at the villains of the piece.

That's good writing though, afterall, don't most of us eventually become more or less, facsimilies of our parents? Whether we like it, or not.

I've always liked Kulgan. He had a sort of knowledgable air, but he wasn't at all patrionising. And he reminded me of my grandad.

Valko · 7th November 2006, 10:21 PM

Yeah, the kind of guy that carries a packet of Werthers Originals around

The_last_mercenary · 25th November 2006, 11:50 PM

I like Tal the best lol gotta go for the worlds best swordsman

Faceless Woman · 5th December 2006, 09:49 AM

I actually cannot stand Tal. I'm not sure why, but I can't.
Favourite? Gamina, or possibly Locklear. He was cute. I cried when we found out he was dead. So much worse that it was off-screen. Grrr.
