I most definitevely love Rake now and his brother Silchas
Also Whiskeyjack dead is the worst thing to have happened since the beginning he was my favorite
Even tempered, a veteran and the only guy who was really seen having a friendly relationship with rake ( drinking with him and all )

[Cude]

Quick Ben , Kalam , Fiddler
Karsa
Shadowthrone , Cottilion
Iskarul Pust
Ganoes Paran
Pearl, Sgt Hellian ,
Gesler , Stormy
Picker , Blend
Rallick Nom
I could go on and on

[Cutter Nom]

Quick Ben, Bottle, Karsa, Fid, Dancer/Cottilion, and Kalam.... oh and Rake

[jms388]

Fid, Karsa and Quick Ben, Never really liked Crokus/Cutter

[Banana]

Ganoes Paran, Trull, Crokus/Cutter, Iskaral Pust and any Jaghut that we've seen... yes, even Raest

[tharinock]

i gotta say karsa, quick ben, kalam, kruppe, tehol, bugg, cotillion, para, fid, hedge, any other malazan sapper, any malazan sapper's munitions (explosives are people too!), and so many more...

and my favorite potential encounter between 2 peeps: Kalam meets Barathol

[Odinn888]

Gotta go with Onos T'oolan, Toc, Gruntle, Paran, Trull, Tehol, Ironbars (ripped a guys jawbone off, thats pretty badass in my book) and Bugg/Mael

[Hops]

Omg there are soooo many,

Originally it was the likes of Rake, Cotillion, Quick Ben (hmmm hes just getting way too powerful)

But now its got to be Iron Bars, the scene where he fights the Toblakai Gods, wow. Or where he cuts Rhulad and his guards down, and the fact that he sems to be quite a compassionate guy. Plus the fact hes wilful but not invincible.
Im hoping he makes more apearrances in the future.

[lundymicron]

Paran, Tool, Toc, Anomander Rake, Kruppe, Murillio, Coll, Apsalar, Kalam, Crokus, Rallick Nom, Whiskeyjack, Quick Ben, probably more to come as I've only just finished Book# 3.

[Spindrift]

I don't think i have a fav character (is that weird?). i do really enjoy Iskaral Pust, but i wouldn't want to see too much more of him or the novelty would wear.

[ichiitk]

karsa, quick ben, kalam are my favorites, but there are so many other characters i like in these books.

[plzletmefrag]

I'd say that the Bridgeburners are my favourites ..... and recently the bonehunters too .... I dont care if i dont know all their names
i just love the chemistry between them.

It would become too long a list if i start naming all of them

[Nequam]

This was, as with everyone else it seems, very hard to decide. Though I think I've made up my mind about which characters realy made the series great for me. In no particular order: Trull, Ganoes Paran, Dujek Onearm, Toc the Younger, Karsa (although he became distinctly less likeable to me in the events following 'House of Chains'), Kruppe, Kalam, and Tehol.

The following characters were very, very close seconds: Quick Ben, Heboric, Fiddler, Kulp, Mappo, Iskaral Pust, Tool, Itkovian, Gruntle (is that his name?), and many others.

Now...can we talk about our least favorite characters? And also vioce the reason why we dislike them so?

[Flawed]

Quick Ben is one of my faves, Tethol and Bugg as one. Iskarul Pust is one of my faves too.

The usual it seems.

[BridgeBurner]

Fiddler, Kalam, Gesler, Stormy, Karsa Orlong and Iskaral Pust.

[Rel]

Envy, Tool, Toc the Younger, and some Seguleh, preferably all together at the same time!

[kage]

mine is Kalam, Quick Ben, Pust (though he is annoying), Rake, and Hetan.

the lamentation of their women"
