Xcor laughed with genuine respect. "You know what they say about suicide, don't you. No Fade for them." "Its not suicide if you shoot me first. Self-defense." "And your willing to test that out?" "If you are.”
― J.R. Ward - Lover Reborn
As a fan of the Black Dagger
Brotherhood series, I accompanied many awesome characters through their
development and got to know many on the way. The newest member of this very big
and lovely family is a vampire called Assail, some badass bastard who is such a
round character, I am willing to put him as number three on my list of
BDB-characters I would marry (right behind Rehv who’s my number two and Phury –
of course – being number one). This might also be because I understand the way
Assail lives. It’s basically the way I would do it if I was in his situation.
We’re pretty similar regarding our morals, our loyality and our image of the
self.
When Assail first appeared, he
wasn’t anything that I would call sympathetic. However, his rapid development
changed this view as rapidly. Thanks to Marisol, the woman he fell in love with
and lost just as fast, he became even darker, even more criminal, just to
suddenly turn around completely and become not even loyal to the brothers and
Wrath, but also a friend of Vishous’.
Still, he is far from being a
perfect character, which makes him even better. There’s this similarity to
Phury concerning the drug addiction, but also the acceptance of it and finally
the withdrawal after his attempt to commit suicide just didn’t work out
(thanks, Zsadist!).
I love how he is such an important
character for the plot of the novels, regarding the Glymera, the attack of
Wrath in his house and finally him working for the king as a spy. And yes, his
way to get his hands dirty just makes him even more adorable as a character
because it shows that he’s not the rich man who’s got his people to work. I
mean, he even does the laundry himself, right?
