Re:Added: Galen
Nice charactor reviews, but I feel you have missed Galen’s essential charactor with your “if you met him in a pub” description. IMO, it should read,
“If you were to see Galen in a pub, he would be the one sitting in a corner, people-watching. If you asked him how he was doing, he would reply “suprisingly well, considering the circumstances” and then go on “and you are remarkably cheerful, considering what is about to happen to [b]you[/b]!”
I don’t regard Galen as a git, per se, but merely a Cassandra, doomed to know things that will bring grief to others. He is a “Kosh who feels the weight of being Kosh-like.”
If you have read the Technomage trilogy, his “assholiness” becomes more understandable, though not really more human.
In any case, I enjoyed these profiles as much as all the others, which is to say a lot. I keep trying to bring other people to this site, and think I will now post links to your charactorizations as further advertisements. Thanks for your efforts.
