The Best and Worst Gemmell Character

Favourites: Connavar, Adult Banouin and Govannan, Jaim and Huntsekker, Dace/Tarantio amongst others can't think of ones I didn't really like maybe Braefar because of what he did.
 
i've just finished "the knights of dark reknown" loved the book. loved the characters - like lug, and all the redeemed characters... those who were ratbags who turned into knights. i liked the poet... he was awesome...
 
Best = Druss or Waylander. Easy stuff.
Worst = kinda hard to pick we've got plenty to choose from.
 
Like who?

Viruk definitely stood out for me when I was reading Echoes. I'm not sure whether I loved or hated him though. And I have to admit I was pretty keen on Skilgannon too.
 
Best - definitely Viruk. Why? Cos in the end when his race was finished, he still got to be the god: Of corse I'm alive you idiot, I'm a god. Genius
then obviusly Waylander ( probably because he was the first novel i read, and he is hard to kill, and he is kind of a dark character, battling the evil inside and always paying his debts - usually dealing death
 
i would have to change my mind about best and say decado just because he changed from the worst of the worst to the leader of the thirty right before our eyes.
 
My best would have to be the Lion of Macedon - Parmenion

I'm not sure about my worst.

I'll report back when i think of one.
 
Worst for me - Druss, cannot stand the character

Best would be a toss-up between Waylander or Dace/Tarrantio
 
Dace/Tarantio. Did he ever write any more books with that character? Only remember reading one. Story itself wasn't the best but the possessed protagonist was a class idea.

I think its just dark moon :rolleyes: And I liked that story you! But then I disliked Legend - Personal taste is a blessing no? :D

Dace/Tarantio has to be the best gemmell character there is more to like/loath in him than in any of the others. I've got mention Finn and Maggrig as well, that brotherly thing is cool.
Worst has to be Jon Shannow. Not that I disliked the novels, its just I see him as the literary equivalent of Keanu Reeves.
Finn and Maggrig were homosexual characters. I'm not insulting them but they really were in love with each other. Did you notice they only had one bed in their entire cabin?
 
best: Decado (original and reborn), Jaim Grymauch, Sieben
worst: Sigarni and the female lead in Dark Moon (I don't even care to remember her name)
 
Best characters...easy Druss,Waylander,Skilgannon,Rage,and Bane.Lets not forget all the supporting characters,they're all great.Worst character...mmm,oh yeah,ironhands daughter,she's a great reason for birth control.Lets be generous though,DG was a great writer,and we can't really fault him.He will be sorely missed!!.
 
Finn and Maggrig 'eh. Can't say that I noticed it first time round, but now I think about it I did wonder why they only had one bed. When i read Quest For Lost Heroes next I will consider it more
 
Druss, because David explained the character and told me who he based him on, which made him more personal to me in a way
