The Nehemoth

   Bauchelain is a decent guy. Really. You’ll find worst types working at Goldman Sachs, to be frank. And Korbal Broach! I mean... the dude has a personal rivalry with Hood – how can you not admire that?
   Long live the Nehemoth!

Tattersail

   Spoiler clearance: Gardens of the Moon

   I personally knew at least four girls who were exactly like Tattersail. If I knew four, then there must be hundreds of them. Thousands. All these girls are more or less overweight. They’re very sensual – and love men. They sometimes indulge in quite a bit of self-loathing. And they’re serious about tarot, astrology, or crystals.
   Once you’ve got a character like that, you keep her... You even write a complete series about her. Seven books. Maybe ten.
   Why? Because, as soon as those thousands of girls find out they’ve got their very own kick-ass fantasy character – you are in for some real devotion: that fanbase is huge.
   Yes, pun intended... But it’s true nonetheless.
   Anyway, I love you, Tattersail. You’re real. You’re damn cool. And you were the very first character I fell in love with in this entire series – even before my good buddies Whiskeyjack and Quick Ben. I really miss you sometimes.
