Which RotE character is your favourite? (spoilers all RotE books)

[maulkin]

Thanks for the response Redchild. Verity is definitely the character that I empathise with most, though hopefully my story will have a happier end than his. While there is a certain amount of kudos in sacrificing yourself in order to save the world, I would rather not have to! The aspect of Verity's character that I admire most is his indefatigability; he never surrenders or gives way, no-matter what sacrifices are demanded of him. The scene that really sticks in my mind is when Fitz, The Fool, Kettricken and the rest discover Verity in the memory-stone quarry, scraping away at his dragon with a blunted sword. Despite the apparent hopelessness of his position, he is still determined to prevail. I was also impressed by Verity's use of Fitz's body to father Prince Dutiful. Though ethically dubious, this was a superb use of lateral thinking to solve the problem of the succession! I admire Maulkin for similar reasons; the sheer tenacity that he showed in holding on to his identity for hundreds of years and eventually leading his people home.
