This time I bring you a less known group of characters; they are not from a film or best-seller novel, but from a recent (I got it last year in the USA as it had just been released) fantasy/sci-fi novel by Mark Chadbourn: Lord of Silence

The chacarters are well defined, even if the physical descriptions are very short and quite undetailed. I picked hints from all of the book to build a picture of them as a whole, and some parts I had to improvise.

[Note - spoilers may be present in the following paragraphs. I try to limit them as much as possible, but you may want to read the book before continuing here. On the other hand, if you do not know this novel, you may also be induced to read it after seeing this topic.]

Let's start with the main character, Vidar, the Lord of Silecne, Stealth and Vengeance

Here you can see him both in LEGO version and as depicted on the book cover. The strange thing in his chest is not an Iron-man like implant, but a Vampire jewel, an artefact which needs to be fuel with the lives of Vidar's victims or it starts to leech his own life, bringing him to death. Vidar is indeed a complex man, troubled by this curse and by the lack of memory of his past.

His companions are the northerner Asgrim, fiece and pure in some way the other characters can't be

and Cheyne, the man who cannot cry and the callous killer with an impeccable taste for fine clothes

(his hairs should be red, but I prefer him this way)

Now to the heroine, Inquisitor Rhiannon, tasked with discovering who killed Idriss's greates hero

And the bad guys, the Red Man, with the intellect destroyed and the ability to 'wear' his victims' features upon his ruined face

Verlaine, the dictator who subdued to physical ruin (his body has been changed and twisted by the artefacts which give him power)

Finally, the 'neutral' Sam, a tall fat dwarf, as Cheyne describes him (the one on the right in this group pic)

Hoping someone will be able to recognise them, comments and critics are welcome.
