Always interesting to debate on an issue like this, especially within the MBotF world (WU) where the distinction between good and evil is blurred almost entirely. Give the reasons why the character(s) conjure up such emotion or indifference within you. Be concious of spoilers.

Dude, you missed out on both the Mhybe and Felisin.
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.

true, i had in fact put s'haik reborn in before i became distracted. Both of them would have been popular options, no doubt.

I'd say. As it stands now, it'll probably be Pormqual, Dom and Rel leading, with Kruppe and Kallor close behind. And a lot of votes for the Other selection.

Rhulad. But then I think I am suppose to dislike Rhulad, so Erikson is doing a good job.

I know I'm suppose to feel bad about him because he didn't know what he was getting into and he's being tortured, but the whole hysterical psychopath thing is a little off putting. If you're going to be evil, stop whining about it. And if you don't want to be evil, then don't amass an empire, or chain your brother to a rock wall.

Wait, are we talking dislike as in not liking the person, or as in disliking the poorly written and dull stereotype they fit?

It's a good question. For example, I loathed Raest, but that was the point, wasn't it...

it could be a combination of both, however its mainly if we dislike the character. there are instances where the character fits such a stereotype that it may actually inhibit your ability to like them so it could be a sub-factor.

Karsa, Kallor and Pormqual then.

Karsa because he annoys me, Kallor because he's so awesomely evil you can hardly do anything else, and Pormqual because he's a damn coward.

I chose Pormqual, Korbolo Dom and Mallick Rel

Pormqual for similar reasons to yours and Dom and Rel as i both believe they are men in places they shouldn't be. They've failed too many times and just both annoy me with their plotting.

Heboric, Felisin and Mhybe would be my top three mostly because their characters annoyed me. I never really cared for the whole Raraku/Whirlwind plotline myself. Mhybe whined too much as well, seemed similar to early Felisin. Sometimes I really disliked Apsalar, but she just falls short of being on this list.

I'm going to have to say Rhulad, but not just because of the way he his. I just didn't think he was a very good character.

1) Kruppe. Don't know why but I sooo dislike him.
2) Mallick Rel- I hope someone murder the bastard soon
3) Korbolo Dom- bah such a loser. I don't understand how is he still alive. Kalam and Pearl shoud've sticked him when they had the chance.
And one by one the gardens died

Mallick Rel.

There is something... how can I say... relevant? immediate? about him. I see his essence of evil almost everyday when I watch the news.

I picked Pormqual. Not because he is a spineless cowered. I can deal with that and sometimes spineless cowards aren’t bad. Not because he is a selfish bastard. Sometimes I like selfish bastards despite the fact. I hate him because he is spineless, selfish, and stupider then a sack of hammers. It’s the combination that does it.

They are fairly decent characters, i like them both too.

Some people have made quite a few comments on how they dislike Karsa's stereotype and how they find Kruppe particularly annoying. Personally I don't think Karsa's stereotype is that strong for me to dislike him in any way, shape or form and i like Kruppe, i find him funny even though i can definitely understand why some would dislike him.
