Steerpike

This guy is a character from one of the best fantasy books I've ever read: Mevyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy. If you like the best literature,please do not miss them, they're really captivating.

The boy on the portrait is Steerpike (Pirañavelo on the Spanish version), the main character of the first ("Titus Groan")and second book ("Gormenghast") of the trilogy. He's a supervillain, a cold murderer, he's twisted, manipullating everybody around him only to gain power,and has no remorse at all; but at the same time he's a rebel against the tirany, a extremely brilliant mind, and his eagerness for knowledge is neverending. I'm fascinated by him, by his complexity and the depth of his intelligence.

I can't help it, I love bad guys.
