Who are your favorite bit characters in HFQ?
My all-time favorite is Mahafee. It takes guts to sprint after a demon and attempt to stab it in the back, and even more guts to try to stand up to his superior officers. And that was one hell of a battlefield promotion. I also feel somewhat sorry for Inquisitor Brayhylo. He is an inquisitor deliberately delivering people to a horrific death and therefore deserves to die, but he died without getting any of his people killed unnecessarily, and it gives me the shivers when he tells the Dohlaran captain "if I were an officer of the Dohlaran Navy and not an inquisitor sworn to obey the Grand Inquisitor in all things, I would ask myself if I truly wished to stain my hands with the blood of the helpless. And I would also look to my own men’s lives.” Tara |

Mahafee was a good bit of characterization. We may see more like him, people almost broken by circumstances but still clinging to one idea or one principle.

Two favorite bit characters that spring the most to mind is also Mahafee and Ahlvyn Khapahr, was very sad that he died, but have to admire what he managed to accomplish by doing so.

I vote for Rubyn Mychysyn and Ahgustahn Tymahk. They are the sea-captain on the prisoner ship and the Colonel in the death camp who both shot an inquisitor in order to prevent a massacre of captives and to achieve an honorable surrender.

Liked those too. Even liked the other inquisitor on the other transport ship, can't remember his name, that told the Captain that there was no point getting more people killed, so he might as well surrender and it wasn't like he was going to be writing any reports on their lack of zeal if the Captain did surrender. |

I think my favorite was Stefyny Mahlard because she was both surprising and showed a lot of depth that wasn't "expected". I think the other character was the inquisitor who helped her. Again I think because I wasn't expecting it.

Although I think Mychysyn might prove important in a future book. He was the senior surviving officer from the prisoner convoy. And Clyntahn is not happy. If the inquisition makes an example of him in a future book, it could help undermine how Dohlar views and supports the Jihad. |

Yeah, but she's a kid. I mean everybody loves a cute kid. She needs a handicap or something just to make the voting fair for all the other bit characters. |
