Two notes about the poll:
1. Because of the limited number of options I could only put 6 names and "others". I tried to pick the 6 based on what I think most votes will go, but I had to left a lot of great choices out. Sorry Harbinger.
2. I didn't put EA because it would win to easily.
Anyway, my choice is this guy:
"Life... is strength. This is not to be contested; it seems logical enough. You live; you affect your world. But is it what you want? You are... different inside. This woman lives and has strength of a sort. She lost her parents to plague, her husband to war, but she persevered. Her farm has prospered, her name is respected and her children are fed and safe. She lived as she thought she should. And now she is dead. Her land will be divided, her children will move on, and she will be forgotten. She lived a good life, but she had no power; she was a slave to death"
"I... I do not remember your love, Ellesime. I have tried. I have tried to recreate it, to spark it anew in my memory, but it is gone... a hollow, dead thing. For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory. And then nothing. The Seldarine took that from me, too. I look upon you and feel nothing. I remember nothing but you turning your back on me, along with all the others. Once my thirst for power was everything. And now I hunger only for revenge. And I... WILL... HAVE IT!!"
He is pretty cool. I think Baldur's Gate II does an excellent job of subtly building his character from the very start of the game. He is a particular combination of both things that you can understand and others that feel alien. He is competent, determined and has a brutal type of intelligence. And his disdain and hate for everything is gold. And of course, the voice acting is fantastic.
"I cannot be caged! I cannot be controlled! Understand this as you die, ever pathetic, ever fools!"
