My fave has got to be Harry, cos of his warmth.

I quite liked Nathan as well, but I didn't feel the love for him that I did for Harry, plus i couldn't stop thinking why didn't Nathan talk to the Dweller.

I would have liked to get to know the Dweller better as well

My favorite ever since I read it, Has to be Radu, why because I loved, His finishing move to Fransico(I know I didn't spell that right).

 

My other favorite was Nester only friend and ally, Canker. But that's because I was more into werewolves long before I ever heard of Brian Lumley. But Ann Rices books on vampires never gave me the kick that I was use to. But Brian Lumley is a very good writer. I own all but 3 of the necro saga now. But Here in colorado, it's alittle harder to find fastasy books outside of a libery, without ordering them online.

 

Anyway, back on subtect. Radu is my favorite most because of his finish move(I guess is what you can call it). Canker because he's more like me, then any other character I have found in his books. Meaning Loves music, and is far weird then most of his kind.

My favourite....Dragosani. Reading the first book and in the first few pages telling of his necromancy. Got me interested from there.

Of course this one's difficult for there are so many amazing characters. But if I had to narrow it down.........I'd have to go with Faethor. Mostly because of unrelenting will to continue in some way. Also he's one of few to make Harry keep his guard up even after death.

...it's been a few months, and since the beginning of this thread, i have delved into the "Lost Years" duo. i have to say that Angelo the old "Thing" is most intriguing!

For the hero, I would have to say Nathan. He was full vulnerability, naive as hell, but powerful in the end.

For the villian, it would have to be Radu Lykan, due to the cohones he showed as an ascending lord and the way he dispatched of Francesco Ferenzcy.

I'm new here and to Necroscope. But Faethor, by far is my favorite.He took a horrible situation and turned it to his favor by will alone and continued to struggle to the very end. Personally I would have been crying like a baby.

Let's see, my favorite Necroscope/Vampire World/E-Branch characters.

 

I loved Darcy Clark, Ben Trask and of course Harry but who doesn't love Harry?

 

Favorite Wamphyri of all was Canker though. I just loved his 'crazy like a fox' madness.

 

I also grew quite attached to Nathan by the end of the Vampire World trilogy.

 

Still not sure if I like Jake Cutter or not. I think I'm due for a reread of the E-Branch Trilogy. Maybe after NaNoWriMo I'll have time for it. =)

Out of all the Wamphyri, Thibor was my favorite. Ben Trask followed closley by Feathor as the hero.

my favorite character is between Canker and vasagi the suck, both very misunderstood.i guess ill pick Canker,a total rockstar.I want his album

It appears I am the only one who sees it this way. But my favorite character in all the books is none other than Lardis Lidesci. He is so strong, and other than having some "seer's blood" he is only Human... or Szgany rather. He is smart, quick, and never forgets. And even through his intense hatred of all things Vampire, he sees the possibilities for the future in the end.

 

He is a Survivor. And thus, he is the greatest.

It seems I've neglected this thread, and most of the others, so I thought i'd leave my mark.

Strange as it might sound the charecter I felt the most affinity for was Jake Cutter, he lacked the innocence and warmth of the other Necroscopes and seemed to walk a wonderfully grey line between good and evil.

I agree I think Jake is my fav also he is raw edged and believes in street justice but also has that deep human side full of emotion that he tries not to let surface but just cant keep it beat down

hmmm... I think I'd go with Faethor and Wratha as two of my favourites. Faethor was almost a hero, as he helped Harry kill off other vampires (albeit for his own reasons!).. Wratha was just a babe!

 

The Dweller is one I like, but would have loved to know more about him.

I would have liked to know more about the Dweller also, maybe everyone together could talk Brian into doing a "Dweller - The Lost Years Saga" ??? Would be neat to see how he built The Garden, and where all he had been before he and his mother ended up on Sunside/Starside!!!

This may be boring...but good ole' Harry Keogh. His character is so amazing...I love following him through all of his innocence in Necroscope, then watching him turn into this godly Wamphyri! And his "beliefs" I've always loved, one being "eye for an eye." And! His main drive was always love. Be it his love for Brenda all the way to Lady Karen, or even the dead (not literally love them.)

I'm only up to book 5, but I think that Dragosani is my favorite character so far, with Harry in a close second place.

 

[ December 29, 2004, 09:04 AM: Message edited by: Tchernobog ]

Of course I liked Harry, but I'm sure just about everyone likes Harry. He's the hero after all. Okay and the fact that he was spying on his teachers and all. That's when I decided I liked him. And I hold a particular fondness for Dragosani(I'd have to I stole his name didn't I?), he's what addicted me to the books in the first place. Watching him in the first chapter tear a body apart was kind of fun and it was one of those things where I would have wanted to be there to see it, you know just to see what the inside of the human body actually looks like up close and everything. Not because I'm sick or anything like that. But I can't say they're my favorites. I think the one single character I loved the most in all the books were Vavara and Nana Kiklu becuase they're tenactios and go for what they want. I mean Vavara took over a nunery and converted them to being completely on the oppostite side of their faith. And as for Nana she wanted children and she wanted Harry and she'd have been damned before letting anything get in here way. It's rather a shame Harry didn't find out about his sons, but then Nana wouldn't have wanted him to know either, I don't think. I liked that she made her choices and stuck by them come hell, hight water, or other people's critism.

A question asked and answered in the wrong place and re-WHAMPed in the right place… hey Tops, did I find the right place this time?? blush.gif

 

MMMMM... my fave outta the Necro sagas... the Keoghs (Harry then Nathan on that count for all the reasons stated so far)?

 

My most fave E-Branch operative would have to be Darcy Clarke... he was such a dude, I always felt sorry for him when Harry turned off his talent.... but I was so jackked off with him for his actions in the lost years, turns out b4 (but after lol) Harry did it to him, it made a nice twist for me. Trevor Jordan with an honerable mention.

 

Fave Russian branch is definatly Zek... then to be teamed up with Jazz ... perfection in a couple eh?

 

Villians, I think Dragosani has that hands down, but BJ was.. ummm nasty..umm loving. Well she’s the biggest villan in my eyes ‘cause she messed up Harry the most, I think.

 

Canker would have to be my fave Whamphyri... ahhh sweet is so not the right word. Harry as Whamphyri... god imagen if he submitted to his leach. Wratha the risen was also a most formidable Lady... hell hath no fury like a Lady scorned. The last Drakul what a nasty one too.

 

Angelo played the best protoplasmic flesh part lol

 

… so tru about Harry Jnr, I’m dying to know him better!! Maybe a ‘Where he was lost years’…

 

Frost D nice call on Lardis… he is truly one of the immortal humans of the story along with Nana (thanks jade) I'd say they would have to be the most strongest of any humanity that survives within the saga
