I didn't find him to be a particularly nice person, either... :-x

I voted for Gilbur. He had no redeeming qualities! Especially

Spoiler
when you consider what he did with poor Nyle.
Eremis is pretty nasty -- but things always promised to be interesting (in more ways than one!) when he was on the scene.

Actually my least favorite character was Lebbick. I know he is one of the good guys, but he makes me cringe. I think I am actually afraid of him! Every time he came around it made me really tense. Sometimes I wanted to scream at Terisa, "Just TELL HIM what happened!" because I was afraid of what would happen if she p#ssed him off. Scary guy.

Yes, he always seemed to be on the verge of doing something violent and nasty...

Eremis. What a Slimeball. Teresa's dad was no prize either.

I agree. Eremis is a total dink!

I voted the Armigite. I like Master Eremis because he's such a cool villain.

Ok. You will all hate me for this. But I just cant stand Nyle. I think he is too pathetic. And there is something else I just cant put my finger on too. And: yes! I do know I am supposed to feel sorry for him since he was really badly treated and so... Acctually I am quite ashamed of myself. I cant stand him. There it is. :oops:

I can understand what your'e saying YK but Joyse's treatment of Nyle, or lack of treatment, wasn't too cool either. But then again where is it said that every son of the Domne has to merit special treatment from the King? :?

Master Gilbur is my least favorite character. What a brutal bully--and boringly predictable, too. Always reaching for his dagger when he encounters a situation he doesn't like.
Spoiler
I can't forgive him for killing off kindhearted, self-effacing Master Quillon, either!
