Bast (“The Kingkiller Chronicles”)
Not taking part in the main story, Bast serves as a character of relative importance in the present day part of the story in Kingkiller Chronicles. He serves as a side character, an apprentice of the true protagonist relaying the tale of his life throughout the books. However, even while not being part of the main story, there are hints showing that Bast forwards the plot along, setting events in motion that would not have happened had he not been there.
I chose Bast because his role as a character helps further the story while he remains out of the way. Any being in the Kingkiller Chronicle universe could have been chosen, but I chose Bast simply because I liked him and felt he had a role as a character …show more content…
The antagonist is not always a person. It can also be a natural element, or force. (I.e. Jaws, The ocean in The Perfect Storm, Tornedos in Twister)
Sauron (“The Lord of the Rings”)
One of the famous names of villains in modern day pop culture, Sauron is an antagonist never directly seen during the entire trilogy of Lord of the Rings. Having no corporeal form, he raises up an army using servants and the power he has gathered in recovering from his first defeat at the hands of Isildur, long before the story takes place. One of the most formidable aspects of Sauron is his power of manipulation, as can be seen with the characters who are driven to thirst for power in the presence of the One Ring bound to Sauron.
Sauron is a classic example of an antagonist in the fantasy genre. He is not seen as much of a person as a harbinger of disaster due to his small interaction with the story, but his role remains as a force driving destruction which is directly trying to crush the main characters’ goals. As such, I chose him because he is a memorable direct antagonist to the characters.

Hrun (“The Colour of Magic”)
Fitting the parody nature of the Discworld series, Hrun fits a typical dumb, strong barbarian warrior stereotype. Partly modeled off of Robert E. Howard’s Conan, Hrun is considered a famous adventurer and treasure seeker. However, he still fits into a very flat character archetype, being considered as smarter than other barbarians by Rincewind for only being able to count on more than one hand. Never does Hrun seem to betray expectations, being guided only by treasure and women in all the stories he is listed in.
I chose Hrun because he was the most stereotypical character I had encountered in recent memory. Hrun is a truly stereotypical character, drawing on every societal stereotype of barbarians possible and relying on that for comedic purposes. Although Hrun might seem to show different facets of his personality at different points, he always remains a parody.
Round (3 dimensional) - this character has more than one facet to their personality.
