Character portrait (RotE Spoilers)

[Farseer]

Been a while since 'thul read the books, but that image gives the feeling of being too "nice" to be kennit. Too kind-looking.

Not sure about Gothmog but it's interesting what you say regarding Kennit. He was born as a Liveship Trader's son, and raised with a certain 'Trader something'? He retained this something even after his time with Igrot...if anything, he used this Trader heritage to pull himself out of the role of 'the victim' to work toward his 'King Kennit' goal?

He came across to me as the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing. He exuded charm, wit, good looks, intelligence, sophistication and a royal-like aloofness, and commanded respect in an entirely different way to someone such as Burrich. Even though he was vain, he didn't like to appear 'soft', and thus hated his blue eyes for this reason...and this makes me think that even Kennit thought he looked too nice.

Still, I would agree that Jason Isaacs does seem to lack a bit of rogue or something......I will just have to watch Hook one day and see him in such a role. I'm also not very happy that I will now have him stuck in my head when I eventually get to my LST re-read!
