Favorite non-main character? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

Prefx · 15th March 2006, 05:09 AM

Aye, another subjective thread.

*Might be spoilers.*

I guess you can go by your own rules as to who is a main character and who is not, but I'm just going to stick with non-POV characters. With that said, I would have to say:

Yoren: He has a character that reminded me of the Hound, a little. I was bugged when he was killed, but I saw it coming and had planned for it. His care for Arya was a nice touch to the story, since it wasn't overly loving.. Hmm..

Maester Luwin: He's devoted to the Starks, what can I say? In the first book you see his care, but in the second one, with Theon taking over Winterfell, his loyalty shines.

I guess I'm oathbreaking my own rules too, since I'd like to mention Robert, though to call him a non-main character sounds off to me.

Hmmm, non-main characters....

My favourites would have to be

Maesters Luwin & Aemon (as we're going with Non-POV's)
Dolorous Edd (He's funny)
The Old Bear (I was very upset when he was killed)
The Black Fish ( I just like him - he has character)
Barristan Selmy

I don't know why I'm drawn to the male characters more than the female...

Dolorous Edd, the Blackfish, Maester Aemon. I really liked the little band that Davos gathered to smuggle Edric Storm off Dragonstone - particularly the Bastard of Nightsong - though they had only a small role. Dacey Mormont. I'm sure there are others I can't remember at the moment.

Winters_Sorrow · 15th March 2006, 03:44 PM

Easy

Syrio Forel, just so.

AryaUnderfoot · 15th March 2006, 04:25 PM

Hodooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Dolorous Edd · 15th March 2006, 04:53 PM

<--- Him.

The Blackfish

Maester Aemon

Syrio

Balon Swann

Qhorian (sp?) Halfhand

As Culhwch says, the Bastard of Nightsong. For no other reason then the fact that he has the coolest name in fiction

----

Will probably end up addming many more to that list. Even small characters in this series have, and excuse the pun but i can't think of a better word, character.

TK-421 · 15th March 2006, 05:04 PM

Oohhh, my turn...

-Darkstar
-Maeter Aemon
-Jaqen
-Barristan th Bold
-Blackfish
-Kevan (for telling Cersei where to go)
-SANDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JohnSnow · 16th March 2006, 04:22 AM

Dolorous Edd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AU - I am with you, you got to love Hodor based simply on the fact that he has created an entire vocabulary out of one word and it isn't "smurf"!

Khal Drogo - He was one bad Mofo

I would say Loras but the I would have to go outside and beat myself with a large stick with nails protruding from it!!!!!!!!

*snow*

Culhwch · 16th March 2006, 11:39 AM

Loras, no, but I did like Garlan. And I can't believe I forgot Syrio!

Thanks Culhwch.

the smiling weirwood · 16th March 2006, 10:34 PM

actually Loras would be on my list(please don't flame me)becuase like Catelyn said, he and his friends were the knights of summer. and yes, they were mostly all crap and inexperienced,cocky, idiots, but there is something about their shiny, almost naive chivalry and optimism that i like
The Blackfish
Missandei(sp.?)
Dolorous Ed
Maester Aemon
Myrcella
Syrio Forel
Petyr Baelish
Illyrio Mopatis

The Blackfish is definitely my favorite non-main character. But I also enjoy reading Dolorous Edd, Barristan the Bold, Strong Belwas, Bronn, Mance Rayder, Ygritte, and Tormund Giantsbane.

AryaUnderfoot · 17th March 2006, 04:34 PM

Shagga son of Dolf. I guess I just like the big hairy stupid guys? Haha.

red_temple · 17th March 2006, 05:18 PM

The Red Viper - if you consider him "non-main."

Bronn is one cool SOB.

And, of course, let's not forget the Greatjon. There's another big and hairy (and maybe not-so-stupid) guy for you, Arya.

I forgot the frogeaters: Meera and Jojen
