I see people are including Shivering Isles. So I want to add
Haskill to my list in post 19 (repeated below).
And also
Shelden be cause he is awesome... he told me so himself.
Oh, and I also really like
Dredhwen and
Cutter... I guess I have a thing for weird lady wood elves.
Most favorite is probably Modryn Oreyn. He tough but with an artistic side. He not pretentious with his simple iron curiass. Also I like the way his view of the Player Character changes as you go through the Fighter's Guild questline.
also...
Savlian of course. The true hero of Kvatch. He could have deserted in the face of overwhelming odds but he stood his ground an then some.
Arch Mage Traven for standing up for his believes. Even at a very high personal cost.
Lord Rugdumph gro-Shurgak because of his way with words
Count Janus Hassildor
