Ickthorn the Unpopular
Ironically named anti-hero who was never exactly in the series, somehow, he ended up being a rather popular character for a short while.
Gruff and vile to the point of almost incoherance, Ickthorn was basically all the worst things about the Wasted Elemenstors.
He is mentioned in the introduction to Book 6 and in some minor character dialouge in Book 7, which is where the intense interest came from.
Though never featured as a main character, The Wizbits TV show lists him by name under Special Thanks in the credits of Episode 2.
In the introduction of Book 6 this character is specifically quoted as saying, "You could count the number of people who have touched all 100 of King Selent's 100 blades on one hand, and I am one of them." The character is then not mentioned again until...
Old Lentle cleared his throat. "The way I aim 'ter be seein' it. The youngin' fellers tweren't..."
Hom Better stood suddenly. "We've heard enough from you already old man, it is time for action, not speeches. Did Old Milkjug stand around talking when the Mumbler stole his prize dairy cow? NO! Did Seamus Macall-the-stars stand around talking when Omnibus Blibberblat made eyes at his lady? NO!" He paused in his retoric, to great effect, then began again slowly and softly. "Did the great Unsunderer, power in his name, stand around TALKING when Ickthorn the Unpopular stole his most precious and perfect? NO!" he thundered.
His nephews, brothers, sons, and cousins all around him errupted in a loud murmer of "truly, truly", "yes, yes", "much agreement", which washed over the assembled council and broke like waves of a newly risen tide.
