I am rereading one of my favorite series The Inheritance cycle by Christopher Paolini. This series contains one of my most favorite characters. Roran Garrowsson or Roran Stronghammer. In the first book Roran is barely mentioned just that he goes off to pay so he can marry his love Katrina. In the second book he comes back and you actually read in his perspective and it goes back between his brother Eragon and him. Now in the second book Eldest his story-line is pretty crappy but gets better at the end. His story-lines in Brisingr and Inheritance are amazing. He isn't a specially trained assassin, he doesn't have the great strength or speed of an Elf, he doesn't have magical powers, he doesn't have a magical weapon. He is just a man with a beard, a hammer, and a woman he fights for. He saves his village, gets the whole village across the nation, He trains them all to fight and fight very well i might add, he wins tons of battles with strategy and strength. In one battle he defies his commander and wins the battle by killing 193 men by himself, only to be whipped fifty times for insubordination. He did what he thought was right and didn't shed a tear for any of those fifty scars.
