Odd. I don't see that many similarites, just the genius and Elder god aspect. Kruppe is annoying, and though funny, is in love with his own use of language. He's very much interested in appearing intelligent, while at the same time befuddling everyone. Maybe it comes from his life as a thief.

Tehol is a lot more straightforward. He doesn't care about bemusing people or acting annoying (though Shand might disagree). I do think Tehol is one of the few who could actually interpret what Kruppe is saying, though, and would take the time to do it. Unlike QB, who just wants to throttle Kruppe whenever he's nearby.

Plus, Tehol seems like a pretty cool guy (if you don't mind the lack of bathing and the "skirt"), while Kruppe is...Kruppe.

I thought the skirt was cool. But the lack of bathing, and his disgusting diet, and having sex with dead women...not that she gave him much choice...

The biggest similarity between Tehol and Kruppe, to me, is the ability to deceive. They each appear to be so much less than they are.

My word. You've just described Tiste's idol.

It's all so clear now.

(The diet wasn't so bad, considering he was being fed by an Elder God, notable for their high proportions of vitamin A)
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Do you remember the sole soup? The sandal sole that was originally purported to be an eel? And that an analysis of the taste of the soup led into speculation on what the sole might have stepped on in its day?

That's disgusting. Some sources of vitamins are just unacceptable.

Remember when Shurq first told Tehol that she needed him? He asked, "Does it bite?" She says, "Well, there's only one way to find out."

Damn ootooloo.

You've obviously never been a student.

And imagine the ootooloo fansites...

I have too been a student. But I've never been a bachelor. ;)

So, number one on the list of genetically created creatures is...

I just finished it today. Like 30 mins ago ;)
I got the whole genius thing from the both sure, but Tehol was far from Kruppeish. In fact he was almost the Anti-Kruppe in many ways.
Kruppe is a large man, Tehol, well eats the soles of shoes.
And Tehol's logic was a bit more straightforward, less roundabout in a way.
Just things like this keep the two from being the same sort of character.
