Ahab — aka THE MONGREL

Short telling of my book so you know what I’m talking about: The Mongrels (giant men with giant hounds) have overrun the land of Rondona under the command of THE ONE; who has for second in command Saul, THE GREAT MONGREL, and for third in command Ahab, THE MONGREL. Saul rules in the capital city of Auboron, and Ahab in the smaller city of Haven. THE ONE has his fortress in the Lethal Mounts, where I guess he does nothing but gloat over his power, rage over not finding the Point of Travores (which would give him ultimate power) and laugh evilly.

Now a bit about Ahab: First of all, Saul was the brutish leader of the savages who were tough (and mean) enough to live in the Lethal Mounts. THE ONE chose him for first in command. Ahab was the corrupt general of good king Adrian, who THE ONE could trust and use for third in command (plot twist: THE ONE cannot trust him). Ahab is angry and fuming at Saul, and wishes to kill him so he could rise in power and become the second in command to THE ONE. He feels THE ONE chose unjustly by giving Saul that position when he could have fit it a lot better.

A little more about Ahab: He’s a forty year old brute with a treacherous mind. This guy is not someone to mess with. I drew a small portrait of him, but I don’t know how to post photos (if you couldn’t tell already, I don’t know how to do a lot of things). Ahab is definitely not as huge and ugly as THE GREAT MONGREL, but he is still not someone to get in bodily combat with. Ahab is also a lot smarter than Saul, another reason why he thinks THE ONE was wrong in his choice. Saul uses brute force for most everything, and while he has a brain banging around in his noggin, he often doesn’t use it. Ahab, on the other hand, uses his quite a lot along with his strength.

And some more info: His height? I dunno. He’s tall, at least. And he’s got big muscles. Beard? No. Just a little bit of facial hair. Short hair cut. Dark brown. He actually is a pretty good looking guy, and would look even better if he wasn’t so contorted with thoughts of vengeance and evil. He wears the traditional Mongrel outfit: blood red cape, black plated armor with black vest. Tall black boots. Weapons? Sword and iron ball with points on the end of a chain. He’ll crack your skull with it. Don’t doubt it.

I know, I know…. But here’s some more: He’s got a dog, one of the biggest of the Mongrel hounds. I don’t know if he should name it; he doesn’t seem like that type of guy. But if he has to call it for any reason, he might want a name. So I’ll go with Syrus. His hound’s name is Syrus. And that beast will tear you apart without a second thought. Also, Ahab’s married. His wife is the beautiful but conniving Jezebel (ring a bell; Ahab and Jezebel?). She sometimes helps him work up evil plans. Any other questions? Ask him. Actually, bad decision. Don’t ask him.

I’ll be done: There is probably more I am forgetting, but hey! Y’all probably want me to be done anyway. There has to be more to his character, so that’s why I’m doing this with y’all. You need well developed baddies and goodies for a story, and I desperately need that. So here I am, watch out!

P.S. Did all of this make sense?
