Demonic assassin
Born from fear and fire
Nursed on delicious pain
Putrid magic in its veins
Hidden by armored skin
Resembling armor spiked and thick
Any form is his to take
As he stalks his prey
A juggernaut of pride and death
Few have survived their hunt
With body and mind intact
Legends of Windemere: Prodigy of Rainbow Tower Coming July 31st!!!!

Okay…I know this is going to sound really weird considering his position and all, but he was one of my favorite characters even though he was a bad guy. It was in the creative way that he came into being and what he represented throughout the story that made me like the character. I won’t say anymore because I don’t want to spoil it for others, but this was a thoughtfully planned out and most useful character in Beginning of a Hero.

The Hellfire Elf is a fun villain. I have some major plans for him.

Great poem. I’ve always had a soft-spot for the bad guy, they are often so misunderstood. 🙂

Some certainly are. Though, I’ve been writing scenes with one that is a sadistic bastard, so some are just plain evil.

Great poem, Charles – I loved the line “juggernaut of pride and death.”

Thanks. I wasn’t sure on that one for some reason, so I’m happy to hear it worked.

I think it does – I also liked ‘delicious pain’ – very eloquent imagery.

It works really well for the Hellfire Elf. I’m still surprised he has fans.

Its nice to see a really well-done bad guy – someone you can truly revile!

This guy has nothing on the one I introduced in the latest book. The newest villain is pure scum and evil, which is surprising because I didn’t expect him to be this bad.
