My vote goes for Khelben, but beyond the fact that I“m in the middle of the Daughter of the Drow, Liriel Baenre is growing in my list of favorites fast as an lightning!

Dwarf, DM, husband, and proud of this! :P

And my vote goes to Jarlaxle. He's Fighter/Wizard which is my favourite combination. JArlaxle is funny too, and powerful

Of those listed, my fave is Danilo, followed closely by Elaith Craulnober.

Khelben is my fave of the Chosen of Mystra.

However, my fave character in the Realms isn't on that list. She's a half-elf, a barkeep, a mage, a Moonstar, and a Lord of Waterdeep. I speak of Kyriani, a very lovely lass who happens to be close friends with Selūne.

I also really like Cat and Giogionni Wyvernspur.

I have to go with Cadderly, simply because he was just a wonderful character in the cleric Quintet. its easily one of my two favorite series. He went through the wonderful phase where he was questioning his god, til he finally came to terms with the fact that Deneir has great things planned for him.

plus, he's often accompanied by Pikel Bouldershoulder....who I believe should be on this list

Danilo Thann. Since his first appearance in Elfshadow, I've been hooked on this remarkably well-rounded and well presented character.

And he also reflects Elaine's exceptional writing skill with regard to capturing such a personality type. This is always something I look for in both characters and the writer's style.

I voted One of the Seven Sisters, as Storm is one of my joint favourites alongside Florin Falconhand, Mirt and Durnan, Jhaele Silvermane, etc.

Without a doubt my favorite character in all the Realms is Phauran Mizzrym from the War of the Spider Queen Series. I can only hope that we get to here more tales of this character somewhere in the future. Perhaps prequels or a short story in an anthology type book.

My vote goes to Elaith, he is cunning and yet very smart in the ways of a rogue and assassination. He knows how to plan things well to his taste.

We have fostered trust, recruited loyalty, and gathered the faithful. We have trained thousands. Our legions can cover the land, fill the sky and travel through the darkness. We can hunt any and all that would deny our heritage. Now is our time, now is the time of the Dark Reign(Rain) of the Empire of Shadows.

Jarlaxle is my favorite on this list, but I'd have to say Tristan Kendrick is my favorite for some reason.

Elaith. His life story could fill a whole novel series and still leave room for more to tell.

Having read the Cleric Quintet thrice, I'd have to say Cadderly Bonaduce is my favorite FR Character. I wish to see more Cadderly, but alas, Drizzt is the money maker, so I doubt more Cadderly is in the works :-(

Maybe you may like to take a look at Passage to Dawn, which mentions about Cadderly after the events in the Cleric Quintet.

I wonder will there be more books on Cadderly from RAS in the future...

I would vote directly for Giogioni Wyvernspur. And as my second option... uhmmmm... maybe Vangerdahast, sorry none of the listed ones.

Khelben because he's one of those that's powerful, and is very knowledgable. Elaith comes in a tied second with Danilo. Arilyn and Drizzt are third.

"What's that," asked Mogget.
"Sardines," said Sam. "I knew they were standard rations, so I got a few tins for you."
"What are sardines?" Moggest asked suspiciously. "And why is there a key? Is this some sort of Abhorsen joke?"

I voted for Khelben, but my all around favourite Character, (npc) is Shuruppak. There really needs to be a novel writen about him. Especially since Cyric is going to aquire his services and make him his Seraph of Murder. Giving Cyric a way into gathering fallowers in Unther.

Giogioni Wyvernspur.

My second vote would go to a fighter without skills in casting magic who's really good at fighting, but isn't all angsty or haunted by a dark past that constantly pops up and isn't defined by a magic item. Except this character doesn't exist.

I am amused that at this time, there are 34 votes -- and not a single one for Drizzt.

Erevis Cale. He really defines anti-hero for me.
The things he has to wrestle with in Twilight Falling and Dawn of Night are, not to spoil anything, disturbing indeed, which makes for a very complex and interesting character.

I vote for the Serpent. But where's Midnight, Adon and Matteo.

Also I love Liriel, Arilyn and Danillo, too. But only one vote i have and it's goes to the most charismatic one.
